Air Canada to ban Trophy Animals - Page 2

airbornedeerhunter · #31 08-04-2015, 01:21 PM

Doesn't apply to domestic game animals in North America, just some exotic African species that only maybe 2 percent of the hunting community pursues. AC doesn't fly in or out of Africa anyways.

I've flown air canada hundreds of times and never had anything significant, ever go wrong. Try flying some of the US carriers, you cannot compare the service levels. There is a reason AC consistently rank high in service among airlines.

For some reason they make an easy target on AO.

Enjoy your trip.

I have flown AC in the past, but I have experienced flight delays multiple times, one that made me miss a connecting flight. Since changing to Westjet, I haven't had to deal with any delays.

so air Canada no will not carry exotic trophies next I will be moose and deer

From what I've read the only reason there's Any game conservation in Africa is because of the money from trophy hunting.

Add to that for example, Zimbabwe already has an 80% unemployment rate. This ought to make it an even 100%, or close to it.

Say goodbye to african animals and what economy they had. Bring on the war, pestilence, slavery, and disease. All directly due to this ignorant and short sighted pressure to end trophy hunting.

Reminds me of this spring when Ont. made horseracing not profitable.......the race horses were put down. Not, I suspect what the left was expecting when they demanded it end.

dmac · #36 08-04-2015, 01:55 PM

It all comes back to the douche bags that guided the dentist that nailed an animal that was revered by many, many more.

Imagine being the taxidermist holding the trophy. Someone has it. Now imagine being the airline that the douche bag is planning on using to transport the trophy back to Minnesota. The backlash could cripple a company. Seriously, do you really have a choice??

I think I will boycott dentists!

Absolutely right......and not a word (comparatively speaking) about the wars, starvation, violence, etc that occurs in many african countries. The lefty retards of the world band together for this, but have never put together a social media campaign even close to this with regards to the actual human suffering occurring in these countries.

this world is honestly ****ed.......unless your a granola eating, latte drinking, hairy pitted hippy woman, retard lefty then its becoming a pretty ridiculous place. I can only hope that things make a turn to being a little more sensical before my kids are my age.

This is a great take on the subject.

Yep that's where it starts 2%, no big deal then its a short stroll to all hunted trophies then another stroke of the pen and guns are off the table too. Don't let them get a foot in the door, apathy will be our demise.

PETA types haven't gotten around to how cute animals are in those countries. Give them time.

rugatika · #44 08-04-2015, 05:55 PM

Just wait until someone shoots little Lisa's pet deer in Saskatchewan that would come around once or twice a year to eat their garden.

score · #45 08-04-2015, 06:25 PM

I don't think I've ever flown AC and likely won't be in he future. All this **** has gotten completely out of control...

grouse_hunter · #46 08-04-2015, 06:32 PM

What a bunch of nonsense! Makes me wonder how one would transport a trophy from Africa to Canada these days. I'm saving up for an elephant hunt and would like the hide and tusks in my home as a memento of the trip. I'll butcher the animal and eat a bunch of it over there. Mmmm I can taste that stewed trunk right now!

lmtada · #47 08-04-2015, 06:42 PM

I will stitch up some moose leather touring bags this fall, if I get lucky this yr.

I have flown ac 6 times , delayed and lost luggage everytime they know squat about customer service and these new policies prove it. If you want to defend them go to their forum

Don't give the animals a name.
That is what should be the agenda.
Or if you have to name the game.....then something devilish like "mankiller" or "bloody fang" or "if you cuddle me, I'll eat you" would be more appropriate.

My father used to tell a joke that went like this
Man goes up to the AC ticket counter.

Attendant " Good Morning sir, and where are we going today"
Traveller " Well, I'm going to Montreal,I want this suitcase to go to Las Vegas, the valise to Chicago, and the box to Winnipeg, thank you"
Attendant " I'm so sorry Sir, we can''t do THAT!!"

Traveller " Why, you didn't have a problem getting it done LAST TIME!!"

Wish I could say I won't fly with them but often times I have no choice via work. Thankfully we seem to be using Westjet a lot more lately.

Heck, I've been reading the other thread, and so many people there think he can do anything including walking on water.

Or did I miss read that thread?

Sneeze, I'm with you 100%.
Social media is for attention seeking #$%&*S.
You want attention? You got it. WTH do you think is going to happen?
I'm honestly thinking social media is the biggest threat to hunting.

There is no portraying us in a positive light anymore.
Why are we at this stage? Because people can't do things for their own satisfaction anymore. They have to please the world and the world is beating us down.
Shoot, snap, show your friends and be done with it. You aren't going to be the next Jack O'Connor or Jim Shockey. Browning and Hoyt sure as hell won't be knocking on your door.
Get over yourself, social media 'hunter' of attention.
