You seem not to be able to digest the meaning of hypocrisy.
I do but just don't believe that eating meat produced as it is in NZ and killing protected animals to be in any way related.
What relationship do you see?
So if conservation is a hunter's defence, what, then, makes that hunter want to kill?
Taranaki hunter Simon Gillice doesn't have an answer to that question - despite a grizzly bear rug in his lounge from his one trophy hunt in Alaska in 2012.
"It comes back to what are your ethics. That's very personal and everyone is different. Everyone has an opinion on it," he said.
Gillice - who paid close to $20,000 for the trip and the trophy - had tussled with the debate of gun versus camera.
"You could ask, 'If you feel so strongly about conservation why didn't you just donate the [kill] fee and take a photo.' It's a hard one to justify. I don't have a good answer. But I'm comfortable with it."
