YES! I've boycotted JJ's now for about two years because of it. I'm sure my little one person boycott won't do much but it's the principle of it.

Personally I no longer patronize Jimmy John's. I will not support big game slaughter. And really, the ass on the man in the upper left picture just forever killed my appetite for that product.

It bothers on enough levels that I need at least an escalator.

Doesn't really bother me; jeezus, we have a Cretin in the WH whose children are as bad, or worse. I would, however, like to shove a hand grenade up that guy's ass and pull the pin.

Like Japanese whaling and other senseless killing, I have spent much of my life opposing this sort of thing. I think what I find most disturbing is the people that get a thrill out of it.
Unlike most, I do not value humans any higher than other mammals, so to me the logical extension of thrill killing of animals would be thrill killing of people. And there are plenty that do,

It bothers me Intensely...

I hunted for food much of my life. I don't ever remember posing with such irreverence. I would always thank the animal, and rarely pose, and if I did I was grateful. This guy seems to have no respect.

Herd management (a good thing) often involves granting hunting "tickets" to a certain number of people. If you're going to eat the meat, or donate it, then I'm good with game meats like bear, elk, deer, etc. I don't know enough about big game hunting to comment. But it does look like this guy is just being a knob.

I don't know the location, but elk and moose were constantly stripping away the wild grasses and reeds from a section of river, leaving it bare. It led to soil erosion and affected the local fish habitat. So they upped the number of hunting tickets and introduced wolves in the area. By REALLY thinning the heard, vegetation came back and in a few years the area was a thriving ecosystem once again.

Yes it bothers me and I don't ever eat there.

Yeah... im not interested. Don't care if what he has is free...

yes

more than you could imagine

I've no problem with hunting. It's necessary to keep animal populations under control since we humans have mostly eliminated the predators that would be doing that. However, hunting endangered animals, and hunting for sport generally, is really not cool.

The elephant and rhino yes no reason this guy seem to have done this for sport which is senseless. When it is done as a means of survival it does not bother me. I know lots of families in back woods areas of Pennsylvania that go deer hunting and stack the freezer. It helps with the food bill some.

Just nausea...

I don't support killing anything for the fun of it . Never seen a bear that big before . Must have had a time & a 1/2 getting it out of the area , or did he just let it rot ?

I don’t like it at all.

Oh, my eyes

Yes it does. I am an outdoors, in nature person and I have never hunted nor killed for any pleasure nor do I understand how others do. There is a Native proverb, "Until the lion can speak, you will only hear the hunter's story."

In my opinion, anyone who would kill an elephant or a rhino bothers me. I think that's just weak. If someone wants to go out there and take on a rhino with a sharp stick, go for it. That might actually prove something about your manhood. But going out and purchasing a high power rifle with an equally expensive optical sight and then riding out on a land rover and shooting it into the vital organs of an unsuspecting elephant is just cowardly and selfish. Seems to me it takes a special type of numskull to waste the kind of resources necessary to go and do that. Not to mention the fact that the act itself is just pointless.

The bear or the bare?

everything related to the senseless maiming, torturing or killing of animals makes me despair of our species. it hurts me, it outrages me, i despise every person ever considering it smart or heroic or whatever to commit such atrocities. i would shoot those bastards without flinging, were it not illegal.

Trophy hunting is disgusting. I only wish the bear knew how to use a gun..

Yes.... understanding that we all exist here in balance, this crap is good for no one. The cruelty upsets me greatly.
