Trophy Hunter in a Shitstorm

People who kill animals for fun are mentally disturbed. In today’s society, those who feel nothing when killing are considered severely ill.

The fact that such sick individuals also occupy positions in public authorities paid for by taxpayers makes the whole affair even more embarrassing.

The official Blake Fischer from the Idaho/USA Wildlife Department is just another individual who boasts about having killed animals on a hunting trip to Africa.

14 animals killed, including a family of baboons

Blake Fischer was asked to resign after he sent an email to over 100 people showing photos from his recent big-game hunting trip in Namibia.

The 14 animals he killed included a giraffe, leopards, impalas, antelopes, waterbucks, kudus, warthogs, gemsbok, and an entire family of baboons.

The photo that has caused the most concern is one of Fischer, where — like many hobby hunters — he grins psychopathically into the camera while posing with the family of dead baboons, including the babies through whose stomachs he had shot arrows.

Worldwide Outrage

Not only animal welfare advocates around the world are outraged after he shared the heartless and despicable photos of himself. Comedian Ricky Gervais called Fischer “pathetic” on his Twitter account with the hashtag #BanTrophyHunting.

“We all know that hobby hunters are cowards and the scum of the earth,” said Tom Arnold on his Twitter account.

Fischer reportedly claimed that he had done nothing wrong and was an ethical hobby hunter.

The public pressure became too great, and the mentally disturbed hobby hunter, who harvests living beings like vegetables, has resigned. Not everything that is legal is also right. More on crime and hobby hunting and on the psychology of hobby hunting.
