STEEMIT GIRL HALO ~ Trophy Hunting = (Murder)

j-vo (56) · 7 years ago

There is truly nothing that infuriates me more. I am totally for hunting and gathering as a means to provide food and other materials to survive, like the hunting and gathering indigenous tribes all over the world or even native Americans. But I agree, to go around luring harmless animals out into any area so you can shoot them and put them on your damn wall is absolutely despicable. I don't understand why our species seems to think that animals are below us and don't matter. They have feelings too and grieve just like us. If aliens came here and treated humans like that we would all be freaking out. I think the reservations that allow these people to come there should be fined heavily for accepting the money and facilitating this crap, that's where we make this change. We can't have businesses offering easy ways to kill these animals for major profits and exhort ignorant selfish people to not engage. Thank you for sharing.

First let me state that I am an avid hunter. Knowing this, I recently had a visitor to my man cave that was shocked that I only had one rack of deer antlers (not the head) on the wall and no other animals. She was shocked and said, "I figured you'd have mounts all over the walls". My response was no because I hunt for meat. The antlers were from the first buck I ever killed, and cried over, as a kid. Also, the head and pelt are discarded during meat processing.

I'm not going to judge trophy hunters or wish them ill but I disagree with them wholeheartedly. Here is my argument for meat hunting and against trophy hunting.

It does not get more organic, free range, and non gmo than a wild animal
Who had a better life? A wild animal living free or a caged animal on a feed lot
Unless you are a vegan, which I totally respect, you need to understand the horrendous food industry is not the best way to harvest meat from an animal
Trophy hunters want the monster, Why? Old dairy cows and old bulls end up at mcdonalds because it is low quality meat. So you want low quality meat and to pay $400 for a story on your wall? Take the meat, bow your head, and thank the animal for feeding you and your family. Lots of the above pictures are actually great meat animals so if she took the meat then awesome but a giraffe, lion, bear, etc. you really are just a killer at that point
Pure trophy hunting is seriously terrible, unless it is a cull animal, think back on why you like to hunt and if the serenity of being in nature and observing animals in their natural habitat while being unseen isn't at the core then you should probably seek professional help. If it is the thrill of the hunt, you against a beast, etc. then seriously think about it. Sure I get excited when I see a huge deer or turkey walk into range but honestly it's because it's more meat that I didn't have to feed and all my hard work and prep paid off but at the core its the solitude and getting closer to nature that should drive you... and basically free, organic, cage-free, non gmo, grass fed and finished meat.

This is absolutely sick. Hate is bad thing but this is when I start hating someone. What next, she'll hunt a cat or a puppy because they would look cute on her wall? Disgusting and very sad ☹

I know I usually only post my photography , but when I seen this on tv I had to do a post , It is sad and sick and there is a special place in hell for people like her.

Absolutely agree! I think more people should share so hopefully she and others who do the same ,,get,, how wrong this is. But I guess their chicken size brain unable to process it. I remember there was a story about dentist who received death treats after shooting rare lion and sharing images on social media, at least little fear would stop them from killing wild rare animals.

As far as I know...the dentist is now dead, having been mauled by one of his targets. Karma I guess.

that was the other hunter, Italian guy who also posted images with hunted lions, he fell off the cliff during hunting but its true, karma got him. the dentist doing rather well, driving his brand new Porsche and enjoying life, wonder how long till karma gets him too.

I have seen this before... those people are not even real hunters, a real hunter kill animals to eat, not for the pleasure of having a head hanging on their walls. A real hunter have respect to the animal, like most indigeneous tribes, they honour each animal they take to feed their people. That bitch deserve to suffer the pain she gave !

I agree I have no problem with people who hunt for food , it's the ones killing for sport. It's sick , It's murder

Hunting for food is fine, it's been part of our human evolution. Hunting for sport (slaughter), not fine.

Exactly
