BY JOHN NASH Last week, US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum fired a polite paper dart at UK Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds (our Minister in charge of UK Rural Affairs, who unfortunately doesn’t understand that hunting is one of the most important rural management functions). He urged her to reconsider the fraudulent Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Act 2025. Sadly, nobody told him that the wheel of … Continue reading A Letter from America
BY TREVOR OERTEL The multimillion-pound British charity World Animal Protection (WAP) has built a lucrative brand around “saving wildlife.” But its own recently published study tells a very different story, one that reveals the organization’s hypocrisy, racism, Euro-American neo-colonialism and the danger of its campaigns to Africa’s people and wildlife. In its report, “Attitudes of local communities to wildlife conservation and non-consumptive, alternative income sources, … Continue reading UK Charity Knowingly Threatens African Wildlife and Communities
BY JOHN NASH A couple of weeks ago, I commented on a deceitful article about giraffes written by Don Pinnock—affectionately known as Dumb Pillock—regarding the 40 million acres of South Africa’s legitimate and economically significant US$2.5 billion sustainable game hunting industry. I concluded that piece with the remark: “It would be difficult to pack more deceit into one article.” I must admit, that wasn’t entirely … Continue reading ‘Africans Hate Hunters’ Propaganda
BY JOHN NASH A few days ago, Jeremy Vine spoke with Chris Tarrant about trophy hunting on Channel 5, not because either of them understand or do anything for Africa’s wildlife, but more because Tarrant is a prominent, if misled, flag-waver for the Scam-paign to Ban Trophy Hunting operated by “Honest Eddy” Gonçalves. The Scam-paign itself is Ed’s nice little earner in which he grooms … Continue reading Chris Tarrant’s Killing Contradictions: Exposing Trophy Hunting Double-Talk
BY JOHN NASH On July 8th, The Maverick published an article by Don Pinnock, a well known Greenie pillock, entitled, with more neck than even his subject, “Giraffes under siege: The silent crisis of trophy hunting and its threat to survival”. The article is a textbook example of paltering – eco-junk food, fed to non-hunters by snake-oil spinners, eco-mendicants and certain lying UK MPs. It carries … Continue reading Having a Giraffe
BY JOHN NASH A small queef of excitement has crept into the Westminster Asylum, that island reserve where the rare creatures of Homo politicus vulgaris live in splendid and well-appointed isolation. A sub-species among them, H. politicus tetraodontiformicus, known as ‘Westminster Greenies’, are in a state of near hysteria. Fascinating and easily identified by their piscatorial aroma, they are related to the puffer and blow … Continue reading Eco-Charlatans’ Festival of Flatulence
BY JOHN NASH In another recent podcast from the excellent Blood Origins, host and hunter Robbie Kröger sat down for a chat with Fiona Tande, an environmental journalist from Nairobi, Kenya, to discuss hunting and trophy hunting in particular. Once again, it is was a pleasant exchange without rude shouting and it makes for good listening. From the start, it became clear that, although Fiona … Continue reading Kenyan Anti-Hunting Versus Hunting
BY JOHN NASH On 4th April, Channel 4 TV News Chief Correspondent, Alex Thomson, ran a tailpiece about the continuing attempts in the Westminster Asylum to ban hunting trophy imports into the UK, together with a short article on the C4 website. He pointed out that it is still legal to import “heads and body parts of species like buffalo, lion and giraffe despite promises … Continue reading Big Cats and Polecats
BY JOHN NASH An open letter to John Thomas, President and publisher, Psychology Today. Dear Mr Thomas, On November 29, 2024, your esteemed publication, Psychology Today, published an article entitled “Trophy Hunting, Ageism, and the Loss of Animal Cultures” by Professor Marc Bekoff Ph.D. The article began with a quotation: “Trophy hunting is leading to the extinction of a number of species. Scientific studies have … Continue reading To John Thomas, Psychology Today
BY JOHN NASH Here follows a heartwarming story of sincerity and animal love for you: On November 18th, a whole swathe of media outlets, no doubt fed by that deceptive propagandist and shyster Eduardo Gonçalves, including the heavy metal and hard rock website Blabbermouth, reported that Ozzy Osbourne, the unreliable junkie frontman, kicked out of the band Black Sabbath way back in 1979, has … Continue reading Rock and Roleplay
BY JOHN NASH It is that time of year, when poisonous mushrooms suddenly re-erupt all over the place without warning and this year many are, as in the past, infected by a particularly stubborn pathogen. Despite dying instantly when exposed to the bright light of truth, and regardless of being repeatedly stamped out, a damnable scourge continues to re-emerge again and again. I refer to … Continue reading You Have Been Verwoerd
BY JOHN NASH This week, I have been remembering a silly school joke: One evening, a policeman came across a strange fellow who was walking down the street inPenzance, throwing, in all directions, handfuls of white powder from a cloth bag. “Allo, ‘allo” enquired plod, “And what are we doing, Sir? “This here be elephant repellent, constable. Good stuff. It keeps elephants away”, slurred … Continue reading European Colonialism is Back as ‘Animal Rights’
BY JOHN NASH I have now recovered enough to comment on the Hunting Trophy Import Ban Second Reading in the Westminster Asylum on March 24th. Whenever trophy hunting is about to be mentioned in the Commons, you can always read the script well beforehand – it is written in the Mirror by Eduardo Goncalves. This latest mystic Mirror message promised such excitement, Dear Reader, entitled, … Continue reading ‘Colonialist’ Anti Trophy Hunting MPs Ignore the Facts (Again)
BY JOHN NASH The Conservative Party has detached from its foundations and is bobbing steadily towards a dangerous waterfall, much to the consternation of the captain who has discovered that abandoning well-piloted conservatism and the unfailing support of practical rural people in favour of ephemeral metropolitan popularity has led to pending disaster. Unsurprisingly, many of the invertebrates who came along for the ride are now … Continue reading Deception Returns: The Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill 2023-24
BY JOHN NASH Being an Old Testament bloke, I usually reply in kind to those rude people who call law-abiding farmers, hunters, field-sportspeople and wildlife managers “murderers, killers and evil monsters”. I insult people who tell blatant lies about trophy hunting, and I mock demented Animal Rights (AR) evangelists who are so blinded by zealotry that they can’t tell a human from a hippo. It … Continue reading Fur Stirrer Fry
BY JOHN NASH As the old year drew to a chilly close and the shadowy fingers of the dark half of the year took their last crepuscular grasp before the re-birth of the sun and the re-Birth of the Son, something very ominous began to stir. A tremble began upon the grave of that dead, addled Private Members Bill to Ban the Importation of Hunting … Continue reading The Dodgiest APPG Ever Resurfaces
BY JOHN NASH “AT XMAS…. SICK KILLING TRADE. Reindeer horror. A Scots firm has sparked fury by selling sick reindeer shooting hunts as Christmas approaches” fulminated the Mirror with a front-page spread together with some other rags on the 18th of December. Goodness gracious. For many people, this is the season of goodwill, so this is awful. Poor Rudolph shot dead at Christmas! Except that … Continue reading Reindeer Jingle Balls
BY JOHN NASH That great National Park teeming with African animals that is Crawley, West Sussex, has again been exposing its departing member, ‘Enry Smith MP in the form of his preposterous Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill. The Bill is the fruiting body of a brain-rot fungus commonly known as animal rights that affects luvvies and idealists. It has once again erupted like a common … Continue reading You’re ‘avin’ a Giraffe
BY ED STODDARD Hunting, especially trophy hunting, is a thorny issue that has taken centre stage in countries such as the UK in the wake of the slaying of a Zimbabwean lion named Cecil in 2015. A recent book takes an objective look at the topic and reaches conclusions that both hunters and animal welfare activists will find discomfiting. Trophy Hunting by Nikolaj Bichel and Adam … Continue reading The Polarising Issue of Trophy Hunting
BY JOHN NASH For those of you who may have missed it, Country Squire Magazine published my piece about the outrageous, unwarranted persecution and hate-mongering voided upon an innocent, law-abiding Mr Rizwan and his family by a fly-speck gutter reporter at the Mirror. You can see that Mr Rizwan is a decent family bloke in a short video (and rather more polite article than mine) … Continue reading Trophy Hunting is Not Killing Off A Single Species
