Not for everyone for sure, myself included. But it does fulfill a much needed revenue and food for the needy. If you think that was brutal and inhumane, then look at how they still do it in parts of Africa, and this is how it's been done or many,many years! Click below:

Hi all

Blesbok are very picky feeders, they select the sweetest grass first. In that video it seems that the food is a bit scarce and might be the reason for the cull. They eat twice the amount a sheep does and some farmers see them as competition to theire life stock.   :twocents:
