Lol, animals are starting the revolution because Americans won't.
wait a minute, we were told to wait until Bosnia and Herzegovina started.
CITIZEN SNIPS!
Also, bulls started winning
So the bull says "Rectum? I nearly killed him!"
First the whales, now elephants, keep up the good work guys
Come one guys, that dude was a father and a brother and a son and a husband .
It's a shame his family wasn't there too.
The elephants know.
Them, and the orcas fucking up yachts off the Gibraltar strait lol
I find this discussion really interesting.
The other night i watched Loius Theroux's African Hunting Party documentary where he goes to Africa and interviews Americans who pay big money to kill wild animals. Some of them endangered i believe. The money made from it goes into conservation to ensure these species are kept alive to keep the whole thing going.
I remember years ago there was a guy who killed a rhino on one of these hunts. People went mental about it. Turns out that rhino was killing baby rhinos and was itself depopulating the already small population of rhino. He paid $350,000 to do it too. Radiolab did a great episode on it here
I have been a vegetarian for the last 15 or so years. I doubt i will ever eat meat again and i most certainly will not eat factory farmed meat every again. In the film, the hunters ask the question "is this worst than buying meat from the supermarket?". Honestly, i dont think it is, the virtually live in freedom untill they are killed. The conditions of factory farmed animals is much much worse. Im not likely to pick up a gun and start hunting myself anytime soon (unless its a pest) but i thought its an interesting conversation to have.
on the other hand, this small clique of billionaires who think that their money allows them to do whatever they want, including killing protected animals, regardless of ethics and laws, makes me really uncomfortable.
Yeah I totally agree with you. I'm just saying that problem is not specific to hunting animals. Wealth inequality finds its way into most parts of life. But yeah I'm with you
That rich dude could have hired a crew to capture and relocate the rhino to a wild life sanctuary instead and donated the money.
Nature did humans back in the US a favor
But he was hunting antelope, that's not as bad though? I'm against that type of hunting regardless, but he wasn't hunting elephants. Is the antelope population large?
This is a good question. "Antelope" is the term they used because he was hunting a yellow-backed duiker. Which is like the Chihuahua of the antelope world, and no one would know what that is. They're super hard to find, so he likely was out in the bush and got too close to elephants that thought he was a poacher and killed him. Many stressed elephant populations attack any human they see with a gun, even rangers, due to trauma. Also, this guy was a trophy hunter, with a house full of numerous dead animals.
So, in short, this guy needed therapy, not another trophy.
The guillotine blade is sometimes as blunt as an elephants foot.
Guys, does one of you have a Death Notebook? Because these deaths are really suspicious. You have submarine accident, bee going into someone's throat, and... An elephant stampede.
Which genius smart ass is doing this? I owe them all the drinks!
Pretty sure they would never pay for a drink for the remainder of their lives.
Get to steppin!
what are you doing step-elephant.
In Elephant culture they call this a sick move.
Fair game.
This is not a shitpost.
Indeed. It’s Wholesome.
Good riddance!
The frogs were always gay and if they ever become straight that is a cry for help.
my fanfiction is that those specific frogs were straight. but seeing as much Alex Jones needed a win they pretended to be gay. Nothing wrong with kissing your homies, and it made Alex Jones happy.
Holy cow that article was 90% glazing this dude.
True, but you can read between the lines:
The big game hunter had his own private function rooms filled with hundreds of his trophies, including elephant, rhino, bear, buffalo, lion, crocodile, zebra and leopard.
There would be judges, advocates and the heads of the local vineyards and big noises from industry and commerce and it was where all the local networking was done.>
Oh wonderful. Council of Big Elephant 🐘
I was not able to find a source I find reliable, but there are many sites that suggest elephants recognize individual humans and recognize guns as threats, and can even recognize a gun pointed at them is a threat. So if someone they don’t know has a gun, and we’ll never know if he aimed one at an elephant for funsies, they may have identified him as a threat and defended themselves by killing him.
Nature is healing
The frogs are okay with it.
just like that dentist that "hunted that famous lion" and he went into hiding.
Burn in hell cunt !
Karma comes for us all... ～(つˆ0ˆ)つ｡☆
Bravo elephants! I'm surprised it was not a herd of hippos. If there's a video of this fine event, please release it.
Is it another one, or is it the same which have been reposted about for years now? It would be great if it is a movement in the works, all those shitstains really needs to die horrible deaths.
I'm assuming it's slop because I'd like it to be true.
Oh noes. So sad. JK.
Stomp the rich!
Good
Good. Fuck hunters. I have zero respect for these people.
Karma, bitch.
