He died doing something he loved: being eviscerated by black death thousands of miles away from the few people that pretended to love him in order to gain access to his money.
There should be a photo of the buffalo posing with his body, like all those pics of him posing with his kills.
“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.
And nothing of value was lost.
At least until they revenge hunt the animal for defending itself.
This warms my heart ❤️🥰
Luigi showed how it's done. And a buffelo is the one to step in his footsteps? All hail this buffelo, shame on the test.
Rest in piss 👋
Lol fair's fair, pretty sure he was fixing to kill a buffalo
This should be posted in "uplifting."
Edit: it was!
RIP Bozo
Nature bats last.... full respect to Comrade Buffalo.
I think this is more "fuck around and find out" than "leopards ate my face".
Oh no.
Buffalo ate my face.
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo ate my face.
sometimes you're the hunter.... other times you're the prey.
I'm sorry that buffalo had to go through that.
If they wanna call it a “sport” they have to let both sides win and lose.
Hot take, I'll offer an alternative perspective. Obviously, poaching is one of the most disgusting crimes. Sourcing animal parts for folk remedies is reprehensible.
Responsibly managed hunting generates a ton of money, some of which which gets invested into the local community and into conservation efforts.
The key word here is responsible. If a land manager shared wealth in an equitable fashion with the locals, and demonstrates careful management of animal herds by close monitoring of populations, that's responsibility. I wouldn't want to hunt on lands owned by, say, a literal nazi in South Africa. But, unfortunately, as long as we live under capitalism, I have a hard time imagining a different way to encourage the world to preserve our natural resources.
I don't disagree but I also think it's fair game for the hunted to win. That should be part of the point of big game hunting, it's fucking dangerous and tbh it's a little satisfying as a poor when the buffalo beats the millionaire in a battle to the death the millionaire started
I honestly thought it was, I guess I can still have too high expectations of people. If they're not even seeking the adrenaline rush from the danger, it's like extra mega ultra omega level of pathetic instead of just extremely pathetic
The need for managed culls is partially driven by the displacement of predators and other disruption from human activity but ok
The Hunt is about one thing, survival. And only one of you gets to claim it.
