The story is blasting it's way around our internet as we speak, Melissa Bachman - a US TV presenter who stars in a series called Winchester Deadly Passion - has been bombarded with accusations and angry comments after posting a picture of herself next to a lion she has just shot and killed. A public petition has been created to ban her from South Africa stating: "She is an absolute contradiction to the culture of conservation this country prides itself on." But don't people know that this is an event that happens continuously in South Africa? Don't ban the girl, ban the sport!

This week of my Wildlife Film-making course has been particularly exciting for me as we had a lecture on drama! Being a drama graduate, who has struggled to bring my qualifications to the table so far, I found it really fantastic to look at how drama and documentaries go hand in hand. As it turns out they are not so very different things...
This blog post is not here to convince you to be a vegetarian... I am simply discussing my thoughts on the matter! Up until three months ago I ate meat pretty much every day of my life. As a child I was a fussy eater and it was only until a couple of years ago that I really started enjoying meat - especially a good steak... mmm!! But when I moved away from home again this year I made the decision to make some changes to my diet and cut right back to eating meat only once a week... I haven't touched meat since.
I can't believe I am suddenly in my sixth week of this course - it is passing me by way too fast and I feel like I still have a very long way to go! Once again it has been a hectically busy week so please excuse the lack of wildlife blog posts... I promise I will do my best in the future!
