The owner of the reserve where an Alberta couple posed in front of a dead lion defended trophy hunting saying people’s outrage wasn’t justified and that it was a sign of “the times we’re living in.”
is legal. Since the couple and Legalela Safaris each posted the photo on Facebook, they each have received international backlash and even death threats.
this is indefensible. period.
Great photo. A couple sharing time together doing something they are passionate about. And the trip cost them enough to keep a small village going for a yr. People don’t understand the benefits
The ignorance in these comments is astonishing. What you people don’t realize is the lions that are hunter are old and are killed off for the health of the pack to get new bloodlines in. The money from the sale of a tag is put into the protection of them and the reserves.
The human race is a cancer attacking earth's ecosystem. Stage 4... Too late.
i hate it so bad
Our animals are going extinct due to sport hunting. So sad. Humans will cause the world's death.
Do some research that lion was probably terrorizing community's and was a problem the tags are extremely expensive and are not given out just for sport also locals use the meat for food so stop with the PETA propaganda
Ta hell with yall humans.
There are only 7 billion humans remaining
Barbaric, cruel and unnecessary.
They need to be dropped in the middle of south Africa so they can be hunted... karma is a bitch
Did they kill it ? No then who gives a fuck what that couple is doing
Disgusting.
So kids who kill animals for fun are flagged as potential future serial killers but this is totally fine right? These people are sick. Hunting for a trophy (of an endangered animal no less) is not the same as hunting for food - how can anyone equate the two?
A serial killer keeps a souvenir.
Everyone feel better now that you’ve called them names ? Don’t stress out about something you can’t control !
Also, here’s the link to their Facebook profile. Feel free to send them a lovely message, I know I did!!
Legal activity is just that, legal.
I hope they get shot. An animals life is no more important than your own. Shooting for food to survive is ok but shooting for sport and pics is disgusting and completely disrespectful to the earth and it’s beings.
Disgusting. Why hunt lions. Don’t see any reason. Revoke their citizenship
Disgusting, vile human beings. They should be shot, see how they like it.
There’s a difference between killing a chicken and killing an animal with a declining population and vulnerable status. And these assholes killed three of them.
I hunt, but I’d have no interest in this BUT Without the money from the trophy huntERS that lion becomes bushmeat. Worthless. Money goes to protection from poachers and local economy. Before you armchair idiots start spouting off, so some research.
What is the animal used for? Is the meat eaten by locals? Hunting is for food.
What some one paid big money to a poor country to shoot and animal that was most likely going to get shot because to close to “town” and get a wonderful life experience and travel the world. DAM THEM to hell (only cuz I want to do that)
Wouldn't it be cool to round up all the small-crotched trophy hunters - strip them naked and take away their guns - then release them into the centre of the compounds within which they now prey.
I can’t believe they’re from Alberta! Go figure!
If they are legal to hunt there is no problem.
