It is complicated, and as a vegetarian, and as someone who could never personally countenance hunting anything, I also fully appreciate the value that the hunting can bring to wider conservation objectives, not to mention the sometimes unavoidable management of wild animal populations. I was particularly taken with the argument someone made that we may just need to shift our mindset to see the animals as domesticated and a lot of the challenges people feel about the work being undertaken just disappear.
My biggest issue with this is not the hunting per se, but rather the hunters themselves and the attitudes that underpin the positive benefits. There is something deeply repellant about the reaction of the guy after killing the croc, a troubling callousness as the elephant hunter stop by watching the elephants last minutes while calmly smoking his cigarette.
It's not the hunting, it's the hunters that bothers me, and despite all the benefits, I have trouble with the idea of pandering to these people's bloodlust.
Yep and thought provoking indeed. Excellent stuff.

Music was astounding and kept me grinding on a knife edge the whole way through.
I agree there were problems with the audibility of the dialogue though but that wasn't always or only due to the music. It's one of those movies where for a large part of the time I kind of work on the basis that not every word of dialogue is crucial, but it is irksome.
