Absolutely Fricking Amazing "Persistence" Hunt!

This is a "Persistence Hunt" of a Male Kudu, by tribesman of the San on the Kalahari Desert of Africa. Thoroughly blew my mind! This.....this is hunting. An almost transcendental means of acquiring animal protein. The final act in and of itself is completely in tune with the Natural World and the ultimate in respect and honor both of and for it. This is how our distant ancestors survived. We have unfortunately lost this connection to Life.......... I would like to see Billy Ray Joe Bob Sue Redneck American with his 90lb. beer belly, and without his .30-06 and scope attempt this. Not a chance. The guys filming this on the ground must have had ATV's. There is no other way they could have kept up. Great work BBC! I know some of you might be vegetarians or vegans, but face it peeps, our dentition is that of an omnivore. Even our closest relative the chimpanzee is an omnivore. I absolutely love animals and don't want them to suffer either. Subsequently I at least won't eat veal or buy fur....but this video is part of the Circle of Life. We are at the top of the food chain afterall. And to deny that simple truth is to indeed deny part of that which ultimately makes us human.
