From the Cleburne Times-Review to the New York Daily News to Gawker — it’s been a heck of a week for 19-year-old Kendall Jones, the Cleburne native and Texas Tech University sophomore now known as “The Texas Cheerleader Famous for Killing Animals in Africa.”

Jones said she hunted on communal lands where leopards had killed 107 head of cattle in the past year.

How awful. Leopards are very cute and cuddly when they are young. They are affectionate and furry. If she had talked to them and explained the advantages of vegetarianism, I'm sure they would have seen the light and not killed all that cattle. She is a barbarian mass killer.

When done legally the fees for the hunt are used to fund the operations of the preserve.

Without it the animals would have no protection at all.

Conspicuous consumption takes many forms.

NOT GUILTY!

Ironically selling hunting licenses to hunt big game in Africa is a better way to conserve endangered species than by allowing them to be poached. The hunt generates more income for a whole village and encourages would be poachers to leave the animals alone.

In those areas the cattle represent a significant portion of the families wealth. Loss of the animal is a very significant event for them.

Why don’t we see any of the anti-hunting activist shmactivists protesting the Muzzies in Israel for hunting and killing those three Jewish young men?

That is fine by me, They are preadators and kill a LOT of people in the thrid world.

The only animals I really don’t like people killing are animals that are close to human in intelligence, things like the Great Apes (Chimps, Bonobos, Gorillas, etc), Elephants, and Intelligent Sea Mammals (Dophins, Whales, etc).

The rest as long as they are not endangered should be fair game, especially if it is to either protect humans or thin the herd to prevent disease.

Selling hunting licenses to protect game makes perfect sense. Here is why.
Native Americans and other indigenous hunter/gatherers, used wild game not only as a source of food, it was also CURRENCY.
Now, animal hides and bone are not currency, thus we have lost our connection to the value of the animal. If we put a monetary price, then its value is understood by more "advanced" civilizations. I use the word "advanced" VERY loosely.

See? Now this right here is the problem. This young lady films herself hunting animals. Libs don't dig that chit.

She would have been OK if she'd filmed herself having an abortion, but this hunting stuff's gotta stop!
