Not to flame, but my logic differs.

I'd be more scared of a guy that stood in front of those charging animals than of someone that didn't like the videos. These guys obviously aren't all there to do what they are doing.

I will go out on a limb and say that if you loved that video you would probably not sit at a bar with me. The consequences could be dire.
Like I said before, if you have to defend yourself thats one thing, but if you do it just for the sport, I have no respect for a person like that.

I personally don't agree with it either. Walk up to an animal just standing there and shoot it? WTF? Now the ones charging that is a different story, but you went looking for them.. I see no reason to kill an animal unless you plan on eating it. I get no rush out of sitting in a blind watching my corn feeder for a deer to come up. I believe hunting is about going out and tracking the animal, hence the "hunting" part of it, not "watching" or whatever.

Yes I do own guns and I do target shoot and hunt during dove season. But, I will eat what I kill and only what I need.

Truer words may have never been spoken. I respect that stance, and although I don't hunt and don't plan on it, I like your view on the whole thing.

That is just plain poor to kill hippos or any other animal to promote yourself or show it off on the net. What brave men they're by going up to the animals "to choose their fate" on how they are going to die
