    🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
    Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
    If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

      There will always be a level of sadness in death, in the eyes of a human. We sympathize and see ourselves a little bit in each animal.
      However, it is an inevitability. Life will come and go. No exceptions.
      Some will need to eat, and some will need to perish.
      Keeping it humane and respectful is what sets us apart from any other species that consumes meat out there.

    • @BIGREDTECH
      @BIGREDTECH ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Taking an animal from birds to deer and bear is hard.. but if I’m not the one taking it’s life for food. Mother Nature will. Hunting is the most organic way to get meat. Death is hard but my family and friends get to enjoy the hard work into harvesting that animal. Way harder then buying meat at a market that’s for sure.

    • @Relhio

    I think was a good hunt for you. Not everyone can make the perfect shot every time, even as an expectorated hunter. The fact that you followed instruction to make a follow up shot to end the animal, commendable. The sole purpose of hunting is to obtain meat and to limit the animals suffering. I think for your first safari hunt, you did well. Good job.

    This was an awesome video, Sonny. The shot you took at that Zebra was anything but easy...Using another person's rifle that was zeroed to them, shooting at such a distance and what looked like at a slight elevation shift and all the adrenaline - I couldn't say my shot would have been any better. Very good job, man. I too felt endless guilt the first time I winged a deer with an arrow. Was just a knick on the leg but oh I couldn't sleep for nights.

      It's a natural reaction, but they're raised in a game farm, and in any farm you have to cull the herd anyway. So if tourists weren't shooting them, the farm's resident hunter would be doing it in any case. We get to make sure we have plenty of our natural fauna, foreigners can experience a hunt, and the meat doesn't go to waste. It's symbiotic.

      @solandri69 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      @@KazimaliMawji Animals are a renewable resource. The population of a particular species grows until their environment isn't able to support any more (not enough land or food, too much predation). It's called a carrying capacity. So as long as you don't remove too many animals at once or enough to upset the ecological balance, the population will once again hit that same max (carrying capacity).
      Another way to think of it is that when you remove one animal from the government park, that frees up enough ecological resources (land, food) for an extra animal to grow to replace it. And the population in the government park will stabilize again at whatever level it would have been if you hadn't removed the animal in the first place.
      As long as you don't remove too many animals at once (drive the population so low that it can't replenish itself quickly enough to counter your removal rate), the process is sustainable without impacting the population or the ecological balance. It's how fisheries are managed (though fish reproduce a lot more quickly).
