It’s okay to like hunting. You’re a shitty person for a ton of other reasons. <3
‘I like the Walrus best,’ said Alice: ‘because he was a little sorry for the poor oysters.’
‘He ate more than the Carpenter, though,’ said Tweedledee. ‘You see he held his handkerchief in front, so that the Carpenter couldn’t count how many he took: contrariwise.’
‘That was mean!’ Alice said indignantly. ‘Then I like the Carpenter best—if he didn’t eat so many as the Walrus.’
‘But he ate as many as he could get,’ said Tweedledum.
This was a puzzler. After a pause, Alice began, ‘Well! They were both very unpleasant characters—’
Honestly, whether you feel sorry for the poor oysters or grin your goddamned head off makes no nevermind to the oysters, and I don’t understand why it should make any evermind to me.
Uh, I don’t know quite how to break this to you…
Somehow, I shall press onwards without your good opinion.
So she’s an idiot who knows nothing about the social structure of the animal she’s killed, then. Giraffes don’t have herds to be ostracized from. Older males are usually solitary.
Giraffes don’t have HERDS.
Not in the sense of any continuous cohesive group, anyway.
It looks like you’re right–but it sounds like she had a guide who fed her a line of bullshit. I’m not sure the blame is on her for not being up to snuff on her giraffe sociology, if she had a guide she thought she could rely on.
I’d just like to point out what no one has mentioned. Bow hunting is incredibly difficult. Bow Hunting Brown Bear, Moose, Wilda beast (and Rams?) is difficult and dangerous.
…bla bla bla…
Yeah, stupid you.
Did you get that out of your system? Good for you. I wasn’t going for an emotional cheap shot, I posted an analogy.
I won’t go any further with the analogy though, because you are still too thick to get it. I wasn’t talking about soldiers smiling after surviving a legitimate military engagement. I was talking about soldiers after surviving a legitimate military engagement posing with their thumbs up over the body of their enemy for a photo, of them literally pissing on their bodies and occasionally playing with the skulls. You know, that sort of disrespectful stuff that actually happened.
Some things need to be done. We need to eat: so we hunt, we harvest, we kill. Wars need to be fought, so we destroy and we kill. Asking people to be respectful when we do things that need to be done isn’t that onerous of a request.
I don’t know about you, but if I’m going to travel the world killing things, I’d hope I’d do some reading of my own before shooting the fuck out of the local wildlife.
I’d say it makes her an even bigger idiot, buying whatever gets told to her (which I’m dubious was the case, anyway - do we have the guide saying this on tape, or is this her say-so?)
Oysters (dead or alive) don’t care about a lot of things that are important to human beings. How is that relevant?
Personally, “enjoys killing” isn’t on my short list of desirable traits to seek out or admire in other people.
Speak for yourself. Hunters disgust me. Especially ones who do it “for sport.”

And who gives a fuck how dangerous it was? I seriously doubt she didn’t also have a gun, or a guide with a gun.
These two statements can both be true, and still not invalidate the opinion that the woman in the OP is an insufferable fame whore, trolling the environmentalists of the world for fun and profit.
I have no problems with hunting. I have no problems with managing wildlife populations and culling. I’m not a fan of trophy hunting, but it’s not the worst thing in the world if done legally and as part of wildlife management. I still think this woman is pretty awful.
Cry every time you eat. Even if you never eat a bite of meat, animals died to produce the food on your table. Choke down every guilty bite and make sure you don’t enjoy a single morsel of it. Monster.
I watched the video. It didn’t look all that hard.
Squirrel…well, they’re difficult anyway. Not so much dangerous.
Granted, she’s good at it. Archers impress the heck out of me with their accuracy, whether targets or prey.
I don’t see how it really affects whether she’s a goddess doing righteous wonders, or kind of a self-righteous amoral bitch.
Aaargh. Gaudere!
