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’d be on that list.
Another one here. I’ve never gone out in the field unless I plan on cooking what I bring back. If I fight nature and nature wins…so it is.
Good luck nature!
I vote for nature to take care of city dwellers who buy their food instead of gather and grow it themselves like we do. Those who pave over nature for a new strip mall or condos. They’re a huge strain on the earth with their plastic shit and need for new all the time. Not to mention the masses of viable farmland that are consumed for building.
Yet we are the ones who are hated on and reviled. People are fucked.
Oh, you think all the millions of people in cities would be able to do what you think they should do? Millions of people just disperse through the wilds and hunt and forage and grow a little plot of food?
No I don’t think that but thanks for speaking for me.
Same. Most hunters abhor trophy sport
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Klingon voices suddenly cried out in agreement and were suddenly honored. I

… this is Trekkie bait, don’t take it…
You’re just salty that Dumbledore got to help rid the world of that evil ring while others flew around in their Iron Man suits!
I never saw Harry Potter but I know that’s where Dumbledore is from, so I will assume this is an accurate plot synopsis.
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.)
Human hands are shit compared to what everything else has, at least allow them to use our oldest and arguably best tool. Spear hunting alone still carries a shit tonne of risk unless you are going after fish and even then watch your foot. Id watch one of this dipshits fumble with a spear for 4 minutes before getting ripped apart, it’d be like mixing slapstick with gladiatorial games.
If Mas Ooyama could kill bulls with his bare hands these pussies can learn to do that too.
While I’m sure you could find some rural folks who would do that happily, after all one of my kinsmen likes to hunt bore with knives before he sells it in his shop. We need to give these profligates fucks the illusion they have a chance, I want them to have hope before they get gored.
As long as they don’t go ill the animal later anyway. Big cats that kill peoples seem to get table down and killed in most stories I hear.
Good thing humans aren’t known to be vengeful… I hope that buffalo is like 2 countries over by now with a new identity drinking a mai tai.
Often the individual animals preying on humans have some sort of health problem or something along the lines, making them desperate and thus continuously dangerous - so it is easy to pretend we don’t do it for vengeance too. There’s also the weird still lingering belief that once an animal has tasted human blood they’ll want more. Humans like to believe we’re not controlled by instinct and make up explanations for why not, but our actions have more truth than our words
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.
Oh no! Is the buffalo ok?
He’s traumatized from the hostility and will have PTSD. But he did the right thing.
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.
TheBullWins
Grizzly bears can do 35 mph too, but they’re less “hit by a truck” than “hit by a wood chipper”.
Luigi has found a mount
Last I heard Luigi is en route to be somebody’s mount.
And nothing of value was lost.
At least until they revenge hunt the animal for defending itself.
“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.
I carry in the woods every time I’m out. Wouldn’t want to try my luck against a bear. Especially don’t like my odds against a panther.
Well yeah. But you’re not using something scoped; more boomsticky for the boonies, I’d say.
This warms my heart ❤️🥰
Oh No! A millionaire trophy hunter was brutally mauled to death by a vicious beast? This is a terrible tragedy :( Seriously, what could be more important than the life of a complete and utter scumbag?
I wonder how many innocent children starved and were murdered by the IDF today?
Doesn’t matter- didn’t you hear? A rich white man was killed!
This is why it naked the news att all… it’s engagement. Just leave ragebait alone
This is why it naked the news att all
If it had naked the news I probably wouldn’t mind so much. ;)
The sad fact is, this isn’t really ragebait. The media has always treated the ruling class as more important than us plebians. For much of history- the public kind of agreed with them about that and no one raged about it. It’s only fairly recently that it’s become slightly more mainstream for people to be class conscious (in the last 100 years at least). I’m sure IrishstarDOTcom just thought this was a newsworthy death.
Now I’m wondering if NakedNews is still a thing… Haven’t thought of that in many years.
Edit: apparently so. At least the website still exists.
Haha that’s an acceptable typo :) Maybe it works online because it can simultaneously be ragebait and idol bait. But you are correct, the obsession especially for women for some reason with the aristocrat celebs is baffling
That buffalo deserves that millionaire’s body as trophy.
Rest in piss 👋
The reason behind the buffalo’s attack on the trackers remains unclear.
“Why are you attacking me I’m just trying to hunt you”
Man minding his own bussiness stalking an animal to kill it, inexplicably attacked by animal he was plotting to kill.
I think this is more “fuck around and find out” than “leopards ate my face”.
Unless the guy lobbied to make what he did legal, and I don’t think he did, I agree with you.
What a traumatic experience for the buffalo, I hope it’s ok.
Nothing of value was lost.
