Trophy hunting is, without question, one of the most vile, pathetic displays of small-minded vanity a man can engage in.
Picture him in his trophy room, basking in his own imagined glory, mentally masturbating himself over the senseless killing of a completely innocent creature. It is revolting
the justification is that they at least funnel money into conservation.
but that’s like saying that if for every child raped in Epstein island he would have donated enough to save 2 children in a poor country then that island was OK.

Nah, I’m good.
I understand ☹️
Uplifting news.
Luigi bull
Mofo got luigi’d
If they wanna call it a “sport” then they need to have both sides win and lose equally.
So… what’s for lunch today?
Asher was fatally injured, in a sudden and unprovoked attack by an unwounded buffalo.
Uh, sure it was “unprovoked”. Dude was just out there minding his own business and out of nowhere the Buffalo jumped out of bushes and attacked him.
I think it only fair that as the victor in the fight, the Buffalo should inherit this guy’s millions.
also his head framed as a trophy
Lmfao
Good. Fuck trophy hunters. Deserved exactly what he got.
Exactly my sentiment.
Unprovoked
Unprovoked?! The guy was about to kill the buffalo. That was self defense.
Darwinism works all ways. If we kill the harmless animals, we’re directly breeding more aggressive ones that will attack “unprovoked” because that’s what saved their lives.
That may be the case, but African Buffalo are like one of the most dangerous animals to humans on the planet. They have long had the nickname of “Black Death” and “Widowmaker” by the locals because they are so aggressive. The bachelor buffalo (older males that don’t travel with a herd anymore) are known to be the most dangerous. From the description that’s what it sounds like they were tracking. So one of those dudes killing the shit out of someone isn’t exactly uncommon even historically.
Some cracker ass rich dude hunting them and then being killed by one is kind of fucking hilarious. Can you imagine this dipshit thinking that a buffalo wouldn’t trample the shit out of him cause his bank account had a bunch of 0’s? I just imagine him turning around as he’s being charged at and yelling, “You can’t do this I have money!”
Is the bull okay?
Trophies wouldn’t mean a damn thing if this didn’t happen now and then.
They still don’t, but they wouldn’t.
I love poetic justice
opened this thread to see this meme….so pleased to find it at the top.
Asher Watkins, 52, was tracking a 1.3 tonne Cape Buffalo bull, known as the Black Death, in the 50,000-acre Bambisana concession on Sunday when it suddenly charged at him at 35mph.
I don’t know why, but j really enjoyed all the numbers in this article. The speed that the buffalo was going when it smashed into him is a detail that would be left out of most articles. But knowing that it was going 35mph makes it very impressive.

Man this descriptive title for the Bull makes me see why Monster Hunter and Xenoblade appeal to so many. We have real life tyrant animals that have fucking bounties on their heads and names like “Black Death” that have killed even the best travelers. Video games are real 🥹
Exactly. We get to play those games without the real world ecological catastrophe that is big game hunting.
I’m upset this very british tabloid didn’t convert the weight to stone.
The bull weighs about 205 stone, btw.
Wow, that’s a whole lotta bull.
Well someone watched Monty python and the holy grail and figured they needed the mean speed of some swallow or something.
