Falcon Hunt of Kazakhstan Nation

While in the North of Russia they have deer racing in the South of ex-USSR, now independent (and glorious, remember what Borat has said!) country of Kazakhstan they practice in falcon hunt.

Special trained falcons find the victims, chase, catch and bring the bodies to the hunters.

The best hunter gets TV and DVD as a present.

      The trained falcons are even capable of killing a wolf! Kazakh sheep farmers use falcons to keep wolves away from sheep.

      • Miss India says:

        Look how they handle the fox , disgusting cruelty to animals, then again they are also cruel to their fellow human beings. Thanks to 100 years of Russian occupation Kazakhs are reduced to the level of monkeys in terms of intelligence. :(

        • LOL says:

          Man, Miss India, if thats really you, I think you should change your name, since so many people copy you. OH! I’ve got one that will suit you perfect; how about “Bitch With No Life Whatsoever”. Sounds good right? I expect to see this now for all your posts. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not mad at you, not at all, I just think you should start calling things for what they are. Plus, Indians can’t afford computers, so miss india does not suit you very well.

        • You are an ignoramus.

        • Russian_NYC says:

          Miss India,

          Completely agree. You have no idea what goes on in families, schools, and even kindergartens.

          Like I say, stay away from Uzbeks, Russians, Tajiks, and other mongols.

          These things (russians) may look like you and me, but what goes on in their heads, you’d be better off not knowing. I suppose this happens when you mix 1/2 white blood and 1/2 mongol blood.

          Oh, by the way, this is coming from a 100% russian.

          “then again they are also cruel to their fellow human beings” <– you’ve made an excellent point.

            Dear impostor,

            Congratulations on your very thorough imitation, I was impressed.
            That being said, please do your family a favor and stick your needle-dick into an wall socket.
            =)
            Regards

          Ah… Miss India…. I happily assume the mantle of your tutor in worldly things. I hope that over the next few months (as I wait for a reply about the job in Hell with Satan) I can help you understand some of the topics that are posted here a bit better.

          On this one - it is not a normal Tuesday morning! This isn’t what Khazaks do all day. No it’s a celebration of ancient cultural skills that are important in maintaining the Khazaks cultural identity.

          We had a similar thing in Britain too. It was called “Fox Hunting”. The Labour govt banned it so that rich people would have less fun things to do. This is popular with poorer people here. The hunters were a bit shit anyway and hardly ever caught any foxes.

          Let me know if this is too complicated an explanation.

          love scot
