That would be millionaire tory banker, posing next to the beautiful lion he has just shot for sport on his holiday

Do you know, I really dislike the word c**t, but on this occasion I cannot think of a suitable substitute?

Cover him with fox scent and let him loose among the hounds.

B***d.

Bunbaker · 11/09/2011 16:30

Or even better. Cover him with wildebeest scent and lock him in the lion enclosure at Longleat.

sue52 · 11/09/2011 16:30

It would have been much more pleasant to read if the lion had had him, minus the gun, for just one minute.

catgirl1976 · 11/09/2011 16:31

I just cannot get my head around how someone could do that. I like the Longleat plan.....

Where did you find the 'tory' connection?

:( why do some insist on killing for fun?

Would also like to see the Longleat plan put into action.

Itsjustafleshwound · 11/09/2011 16:34

But this is the reality in Africa - there is a big 'Hunter' phenomenon ..

Did anyone remember the programme done by Louis Theroux on the exact same thing??

sue52 · 11/09/2011 16:34

In the Times article, it was stated that he was a Tory donor. Sorry can't link to the article.

catgirl1976 · 11/09/2011 16:35

He is a major donor to the tory party

Cunt just about sums this... well, this cunt.... up.

I don't care if he's Tory, Socialist or Monster Raving Loony Party-sympathising, whether he's a millionaire banker or a council-flat residing lone parent on benefits, he's still a cunt.

ExitPursuedByATroll · 11/09/2011 16:37

I read somewhere that wealthy Arabs pay to shoot animals in Africa with machine guns. A lot skill involved there then.

EggyAllenPoe · 11/09/2011 16:42

what a cunt. but not for being either a conservative donor or a banker, or indeed a millionaire.

as DBBF said.

Shock

Is that a recent photo?

Just Shock

troisgarcons · 11/09/2011 16:45

Oh ok.

So it's just Tory bashing rather than bashing animal killers?

Gotcha!

catgirl1976 · 11/09/2011 16:45

Am not bothered about his politics either - was just trying to introduce him............ like

"This is Dave - Dave is an ex BOE director and has a keen interest in politics. In his spare time, Dave is a cunt of the highest order who takes pleasure in shooting some of the earths most beautiful animals. Not for food or anything - just because it makes him feel like a man. Did I mention Dave is an absolute cunt?"

That sort of thing

itsatiggerday · 11/09/2011 16:53

Oh just... here

For the record, I don't hunt, have never hunted and am entirely sentimental about beautiful animals and birds of whom I have seen many in the bush. However if you want a more informed opinion then do read the article. Maybe it'll highlight that a sanctimonious slating of individuals who do hunt isn't an entirely helpful response.

Andrewofgg · 11/09/2011 16:55

Wasn't there a Monty Python sketch about mosquito-hunting with ever more deadly weapons?

Itsjustafleshwound · 11/09/2011 16:55

He gave Ken Clarke £5000 six years ago ....

DogsBestFriend · 11/09/2011 16:59

Thanks Tigger, but sanctimonious and unhelpful or not I'll stick to my view that anyone who hunts is a cunt.

Andrewofgg · 11/09/2011 17:01

Oh DBF what's happening to us, we agree again!

Prepared to make exceptions for those brought up to it who gave it up or who did it a long time ago. This chap was born 1935 and his hunting days may be over now.

DogsBestFriend · 11/09/2011 17:02

:) Andrew.

TidyDancer · 11/09/2011 17:09

Oh, I've seen this. Sick sick sick.

And no, troisgarcons, it's not. Plainly.

catgirl1976 · 11/09/2011 17:12

No tigger I am still going to slate him. I wasn't commenting on whether or not I could understand African economies allowing this sort of thing, which is a different discussion altogether. I also don't give a toss about his political leanings.

He shot a lion for sport. He's a cunt.

Ive always thought that someones mind must not be working quite right when they get any sort of pleasure from killing an animal,i feel bad if i step on a snail.
