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 think there are many hunters who would agree.

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.

He's traumatized from the hostility and will have PTSD. But he did the right thing.

[-] wabafee@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

That buffalo deserves that millionaire's body as trophy.

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

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".

There should be a photo of the buffalo posing with his body, like all those pics of him posing with his kills.

This should be posted in "uplifting."

Edit: it was!

Rest in piss 👋

And nothing of value was lost.

At least until they revenge hunt the animal for defending itself.

If they wanna call it a “sport” they have to let both sides win and lose.

[-] Broadfern@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

“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.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I think this is more "fuck around and find out" than "leopards ate my face".

Read "bored to death" and didn't understand why it should be a leopards material.

[-] AlexLost@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Haha! Hunter became the hunted and got what he deserves. Hunting for sport is so lame. Go fly a kite!

The Hunt is about one thing, survival. And only one of you gets to claim it.
