Whenever I read about these hunters getting killed there is always this element in the reporting that it was a tragedy. It wasn't. It was a glorious victory. Two entered a death match (one unwilling) and one survived. The buffalo defied odds heavily stacked against it and won. The buffalo didn't ask to be the target of a wanker with a gun who likes killing things for fun. The wanker should also acknowledge that they're are risks in playing death games. Sorry dude you lost. Buffalo won. Buffalo should get to live like a king as its prize.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Klingon voices suddenly cried out in agreement and were suddenly honored. I ~~fear~~ know something glorious has happened
Guns are for punks. Fight with your hands or GTFO.
(I'd PPV that all day. It's like watching parkour YouTubes, just screaming and damage everywhere.)
Asher was fatally injured in a sudden and unprovoked attack by an unwounded buffalo
Yeah, I'm sure it was unprovoked by the car full of people following it for hours.
The reason behind the buffalo's attack on the trackers remains unclear. Reports indicate it became hostile before charging down the 52 year old.
God sending Harambe back for one last job.
Also said it was going 35mph when it hit him. Nice.

Grizzly bears can do 35 mph too, but they're less "hit by a truck" than "hit by a wood chipper".
That buffalo deserves that millionaire's body as trophy.
Oh no! Is the buffalo ok?
He's traumatized from the hostility and will have PTSD. But he did the right thing.
This should be posted in "uplifting."
Edit: it was!

These "hunters" can eat shit.
Lol fair's fair, pretty sure he was fixing to kill a buffalo
And nothing of value was lost.
At least until they revenge hunt the animal for defending itself.
There should be a photo of the buffalo posing with his body, like all those pics of him posing with his kills.
Hum, how to properly respond..... Lulz
“Locals shocked that megafauna are megafauna and humans are not invincible just because they have guns.”
In South Africa too. Like, do they not get that wild animals don’t play by human rules? It’s bigger than you. You took that risk.
Rest in piss 👋
If they wanna call it a “sport” they have to let both sides win and lose.
This warms my heart ❤️🥰
Cool!
I think this is more "fuck around and find out" than "leopards ate my face".
RIP Bozo
Haha! Hunter became the hunted and got what he deserves. Hunting for sport is so lame. Go fly a kite!
In my country hunters try to avoid overpopulation of species (which older generations of hunters caused by getting rid of the local Wolf population), not murdering for fun.
Also, many of the big game hunts in Africa and such target older males that aren't procreating, but are preventing younger males from doing so, and the large fees they charge go to conservation efforts.
Thoughts and prayers
Oh well....
You reap what you sow
Stupid pays
The Hunt is about one thing, survival. And only one of you gets to claim it.
You gotta do some pretty stupid stuff to get killed by a deer imo.
Yeah but Deer can also cause other ecological problems if left uncontrolled. Like, no, they're not likely to gore you except for in specific seasons, but they can hurt you in other ways.
Tragic.
So what's everyone having for dinner?
I’d really like something rich in flavour
Buffalo ate my face.
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo ate my face.
Good.
"darn"
Read "bored to death" and didn't understand why it should be a leopards material.
Kudos to the Cape Buffalo and glad he/she was pissed off. During a visit to Kruger National Park, it was a bit nerve wracking sitting in a vehicle while a herd of Cape Buffalo surround you.
