"I would never get on a plane, fly to another country (Africa maybe) and shoot animals there. It's obvious from the word go that its pure killing and has nothing to do with real hunting. Hunting is part of survival."

According to the facts, that survival requires some serious hunting:

When you say "real hunting", just what do you mean? As best I can tell from your own words, you apparently have a far more restrictive view than a whole bunch of other people--me included. Your right to have an opinion, of course, but I'd like to know more about your basis for your view.

Most of us here think of hunting in terms of free-ranging animals which may be difficult to find and which may not at all be cooperative. And we do have those who find it challenging to hunt animals which might also be hunting you.

Your example of the polar bear shooter and the Inuit is poorly chosen, insofar as what any of us here would consider to be hunting. And what's not at all condoned here is wasting the results of a fair-chase kill.
