Why this disrespectful title?He may have been a hunter and all, but he was still a person.I understand you dont like that, but be respectful.The man surely has a family, just like you and me.

Seriously? He was a mass murderer. Should have happened 30 years sooner.

Nah. Why respect someone in death that you cannot respect in life? Why not be happy that earth has one less harmful individual? Do you hate animals that much?

Yes.How can you be so cold about him?If you read the article, he has a wife and 5 children.He started this business not because he enjoys seeing animals squirming in pain, but because he needed money for college.And I mean, humanity hunts animals for its entire existence(and animals do the same).Outside of the possibility of him torturing an animal just for the fun, he did nothing wrong.And as far as I can see, its all legal, and nothing shady about his business.

I always find it funny when people acusse these guys of being "mass murderers".Do you eat meat?Then you also are a mass murderer, because you incentivize the killing of animals, even if they are raised for it, to harvest their meat.Do you eat fish?Then you also are a mass murderer, because you incentivize fishers to go out in the see and capture and kill the fish out there for our consuption.Do you eat vegetable and plants?Then you re also murderer.They are also living beings, and just because they dont scream and cry dosent make them less living.There are more and more researches indicating that plants have councioness, so they are as much alive as any other animal.

Its very hyprocrite to be judgemental of these stuff because you are distant from them.Dont get me wrong, I dont like it either.But I wont judge here when Im as much "guilty" as them, like you are doing.

He was a criminal who was contributing to species going extinct. I dont see you mourning for drug dealers or other criminals.

We are already doing more harm than good for the planet with global warming. And yeah we need to eat less meat, not only is it bad for your health but agriculture to raise cattle etc consumes most of our drinking water. Most of the meat is produced for the fast food industry. Fast foods should be banned, it will lead to a better world.

Assuming he was hunting a species that was protected, or in a season that was illegal, then I agree with you.But I dont see that in the article, so I have to assume you are just guessing.

As for your second point, its just nonsense.The moment I read that meat is bad for your health is the moment you lost your credibility, not to mention that is full of idealistic ideas that would never work in real life.

Well, he died doing what he loved to do. Can't really ask for a better death than that. I like to hunt but not those kind of animals. I think elephants and big cats should be protected but if it's legal to hunt them there then by all means. I personally wouldn't do it.
