Last week, a firestorm erupted on Facebook over several pics of legally hunted, not endangered, African animals by a Texas Tech University cheerleader named Kendall Jones.
One would’ve thought, given the rank, ripe and replete rancor leveled at Miss Kendall that she publicly filmed the murder of a baby or something.
Sorry, that example sucked. My bad. I should’ve dug deeper for a better analogy because a Leftist doesn’t give a rat’s backside about babies getting offed, and they recently even celebrated some chick that actually filmed her abortion.
Anyway, the anti-hunting nutters on the Left did their typical crybaby shtick aimed at Jones, namely caterwaul and campaign that Kendall and her pics be “banned” from Facebook. Aren’t liberals cute? They love banning things. They don’t care what one does as long as they mandate it. Everything else, well, it should be banned. They would’ve made awesome youths in Hitler’s army, but they were born too late. Oh, well. Maybe Satan has something new for them in the 21stcentury since they missed the Third Reich’s boat last century. Who knows? I guess we’ll have to wait and see, eh?
What I find interesting about the incendiary nature of their wrath against the young huntress was not only their petty protest of things they don’t like and do not understand, but the multiple online calls (which I believe have traceable IP’s to their home addresses) for Kendall’s death. One prominent song writer, a rather mannish looking, snaggle-toothed British lady, even tweeted for “the bitch to be killed“. But then she deleted it. But we preserved it, just in case she deleted it accidentally. You’re welcome.
After the homely song writer spewed her murderous rage at the teenager, a‘Real Housewives From Miami’… uh … star, Joanna Krupa took to Instagram and said, ‘This bitch Kendall Jones killed this beautiful creature so she post a selfie! That lion is an endangered species… breaks my f**king [heart] not to mention he had a family… I wish I can fly to Africa and shoot her ugly ass.’
not guilty!!! she can come over and deliver death threats all day long! no problemo!
I hunt for sport but eat what I shoot. I watch hunting shows and watch african hunting shows. Not only a a ton of money influxes into poor areas, I have watched a time lapse video of an elephant kill where the local tribes people summarily stripped the carcass down to nothing. Supposedly this was in a few hours. Nothing goes to waste and where predictors are shot it is done with the best conservation In mind for the region.
In my part of the world if the deer population goes down and coyotes go up, it’s time to take out a few predators.
Her vacuous opinions are just what one repeats back to her as "conversation".
"Yes Joanna, that mean hunter girl is terrible".
"Absolutely. War should be illegal - money too."
There are only 2548 Asian One-Horned Rhino's left.
There are less than 35 Northern White Rhino's left, and about 9125 Southern Rhino's left.
There are only 2707 of these types (Black Rhino) of Rhino's left.
The Javan is the least numerous Rhino, less than 80 of these mammals still alive.
There are less than 400 of these (Sumatran Rhino) Rhinos left today

That makes much more sense, I can believe the girl shot a lion but I couldn't believe she shot a Rhino. There are not a lot of Rhinos left and hunting one would cost big bucks. Bucks I don't think a cheer leader has. I rather see then not them hunted, but hunting bring money to the locals so it is in the interest of the locals to preserve the Rhinios left. No many are hunted so the lost to the herd is small and manageable.
No apology needed. The point of your post #31 is well taken.
I just think that like “huMAN”, the word “hunter” is gender
neutral. I can’t get my mind around a man saying “I like to go
hunting and take my wife who enjoys huntressing”.
They probably think the supermarket has a 3D printer or a Star Trek type replicator that makes the meat, just like they call those packages of frozen plant matter “vegetables”. I’ll stick to a natural diet, fresh fish, venison when I can get it-and I’ll drive my 4x4-it is what is driven out here and cleaner to operate than an electric toy that won’t even get me to the supermarket in the next county...
Your post indicates that you are unable to connect that one of the solutions to the second part:
(How about people in Africa who are starving and underprivileged?)
is the first part:
(I do not understand how hunting, for anything but food, is good stewardship of the Earth).
The lack of intellect of some Freepers continues to be a disappointment.
If you need further explanation of the connection, I'll understand. Let me know.
Couple dozen times might be all right.
Don't want to get in over mah haid.
B freaking S, hunters do more for conservation than any blow hard moralists could do in a hundred lifetimes. I went to South Africa I hunted a cape buffalo for “sport” and all I got were great memories, a beautiful trophy and a big bill, but I would do it again in a heartbeat, no one appreciates god’s gifts to man more than a hunter, especially someone sitting in an air conditioned room probably watching the Kardashians crap on all of his gifts.
I don't appreciate your straw man argument. ("Are animals above people in your outlook?") I might expect that on DUmmie, but from a FReeper? Comments like that certainly cheapen the brand! Since you must have missed what I wrote, I will repeat what I wrote about the liberal 'trophy' wife: "On the other hand, instead of someone hunting ‘trophies’, we have a spoiled, churlish, liberal ‘trophy’ wife, also apparently of limited literacy, expressing her desire to inflict bodily injury of the ‘huntress’.
NEITHER ONE of these two is a sympathetic figure."
What part of my comment suggests that I believe animals are "...above people..."? In fact, what part of ANYTHING I have EVER posted on FR suggests this? (Unless, of course, you are one of the FReepers who consider that any dog bigger than a Teacup Yorkie, to be a dreaded 'Pit Bull' and therefore, deserving of euthanasia.)
The gratuitous killing of an animal (ie: 'trophy' hunting), especially an animal that is endangered, is most definitely NOT stewarding the planet and all living things, as God told us to do!
Outstanding ITG goin’ on there!
You don't? What do you think those animals do? Walk in and give themselves up?
These circumstances are culling the herd,
No, they aren't. Try reading about elephant culling.
I don't appreciate your straw man argument. ("Are animals above people in your outlook?")
Straw man argument? Hardly. Course with your idiotic version of the definition of hunting, not surprising.
What part of my comment suggests that I believe animals are "...above people..."?
These: First off, I don't consider the killing of an animal that has endangered people or destroyed livestock or crops to be 'hunting', nor do I consider the killing of an old or ill animal to be 'hunting'.
With such a skewed view, it is natural to put animals above people. There is nothing wrong with killing animals even if the purpose is to collect good representative individuals for private display. The hunter pays for the privilege and the meat gets consumed.
especially an animal that is endangered,
Which of the animals killed was endangered? Now you sound like the USFWS and the preble mouse.
but I pity Daddy Warbucks who has spoiled his little girl by spending how many hundreds of thousands for his little girl to get her 15 minutes of fame!
Reading minds again? Or just a class warrior? Who cares who paid for the tags as long as it was paid? Frankly :might expect that on DUmmie, but from a FReeper? Comments like that certainly cheapen the brand!
Uhh... "ITG" stands for, what?
Game preservation?
The license fee pays for the country to manage its resources. Without the hunting license fee, what do you think a wild animal is worth in Zimbabwe?
To those on the Left who insist on complaining, let's ask them what their hero Bill Clinton did about the one million human deaths that occurred during the Rwandan genocide. Clinton did nothing for the one million Africans killed, while simultaneously supporting the millions of Americans who murder their babies every year.
She doesn’t NEED to be smart.
I don't care who you are, that's damn funny!
“hmm, lots of joke potential there.”
I dated a Polish runway model once...it ended tragically though when she was sucked into an engine;)
