Mehul,
Read your profile.
Just to introduce you in short. I am Shailesh. I practiced Rifle Shooting whilst in NCC and was a Silver medalist in Skid shooting. But one thing i loved the most is firing rounds from the 303 Rifle . As i found it very challenging.
But i never misued this hobby in killing the poor animals. especially the ones which are on the Brink of Extinction.
I wonder some Heartless and Ruthless people like you are hellbent upon killing these poor animals just for the sake of a Hobby ? Shame on you all.
Even killing a Tiger with a GUN is never considered a great thing..infact you are considered a Coward.
I can only request you to stop hunting poor animals and birds and let the beautiful creatures live.
This message was sent to you by Shailesh Karkhanis.
To which I replied:
Where did you see me shoot any animal that was on the verge of extinction, moron?
There is no shortage of idiots like you who have no idea of hunting and conservation practices. Try to get yourself an education about this, and, if you cannot, stop trying to pontificate on matters which are way beyond what your lack of an intellect could comprehend.
And then I received this in turn:
Thanks for replying.
I do not wish to debate. But i wish to write a few
lines about myself.
I was an NCC air force wing cadet and practised firing
and Skid shooting with a 7.62 , 303 and double barrel
rifles. Won a silver medal in Skid Shooting.
I knew many cadets and shooters who also used to enjoy
shooting hence used to indulge in shooting Giant
squirrels and peacocks. It was painful to see this.
Shooting Authentic animal species for fun and Hobby. I
am sure this act would lead the species to extinction.
Also The current situation on Tigers arose because of
Ruthless killings carried earlier.
My only intention here is to prevent people from doing
this dasturdly act.
I hope you Understand.
Shailesh
To which my response was:
Your second mail shows just how ignorant and stupid your stand is. There is skeet shooting, not "skid" and that is done with shotguns, not double barreled rifles. Stop trying to bullshit me with your so called experience. I own guns and shoot and hunt and I do it in a country that has vastly more game due to conservation and to the preservation of land from collecting fees from hunters than anything else.
As far as tigers are concerned, it is a lie that they were decimated by hunters. The fact is that India's forest cover was reduced from more than 37% at Independence to less than 3% now. With their habitat destroyed there was no way tigers could live in vastly reduced areas. If you choose to parrot this nonsense about their numbers having been decimated by hunters then you are either ignorant or a liar like those who in the Indian government's Ministry of Forests cooked this nonsense up in order to hide their own inefficiency in failing to protect India's forests after independence.
There is no way you could debate anything. One needs facts to debate with, not lies and bullshit. If you cannot get properly informed about a subject, try not to be an idiot. It is clear that you do not wish to post this on a public forum because you most certainly are convinced about your own stupidity and fear being exposed.
I shall continue to post any further correspondence from this moron as I am sure that I have not seen the last of him. And, yes since he seems to have got this information from here, I dare him to step in and discuss the subject in public.
