I hope she dies a horrible death

How many of the people who disagree with what this women did are vegetarians? I'm not condoning what she did, but there are many other forms of animal cruelty that are just as unecessary (such as rearing animals in unpleasant conditions so that we can eat cheap meat) and to react so violently to one without taking a similarly strong stance on others is pretty hypocritical in my view.

its not the fact that the gaming industry exists its more of the killing an animal for a bet that irks with me, not just a idolised elephant but killing any animal for bet

I agree with this and think that killing it in a less efficient and slower way is particularly unpleasant. But I wouldn't advocate killing her slowly in revenge

To quote Lou Reed's painter friend Donald on Americans: -

"Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they're done"

She'll get hers !.... Just like Steve Irwin did !

Should I get rid of that link? Its pretty grim.

No.

Kinda wish I did'nt read it. But as they say the truth hurts.

Total empathy fail by both!

What goes around - comes around. She'll pay in the end.

Amen

in america there are many people who hunt animals for pleaseure, and i don't agree with this.

its bambi all over again

+1 There can't be many countries that have dedicated hunting reserves, where you don't even have to shift off your fat arse to hunt, you can just shoot 'em from your 4x4.

Bollocks.

It happens in this country, and in mine.

What a fucking disgrace.

I'd love to say that she failed at humanity but unfortunately the human race has always been capable of despicable things and that it very unlikely to change.

I'm vegan and I disagree with what she did.

this is a video of cruelty to an animal; any chance you could delete it?

just don't see the point in giving it more exposure.

Why quote the link, then?

I am not vegan, but my meat does not bleed to death overnight.

that story about iraq........ fuckkkk..... it's so so easy for me to forget the type of shit that's happening all the time in this world, especially in the war zones, even when i try to stay aware. sadly i have heard a number of other stories like that, too. what's wrong with some people?

My girlfriend is currently writing up an excellent phd this investigating the conservation tourism an hunting industries, mainly in south africa. From what I can decipher of her science chat, both industries are doing very little for conservation and hunting is thoroughly warping local ecosystems. She would banter about it for pages here but she thinks bikes are shit.
If anyones interested i could post links to some of her papers though

Ace.

Seconded.

not vegan or veggie (kinda pseudo tho) and i disagree with what she did.

Bollocks.

Feck me, it all happens here (OK not so many elephants).

that huntress is an vile cunt,killing animals for sport or just for the sake of it is wrong.culling animals to manage their numbers is acceptable if done humanely

I am not vegan, but my meat does not bleed to death overnight.

But that's my point. A lot of the meat we eat (I was vegetarian for ten years, but not any more) spends it's whole life living in a cage full of its own shit and then gets killed fairly unpleasantly in an abbatoir. Thie elephant spent most of its life trundling around Africa and then bled to death overnight. Neither of these are nice and both are unecessary and cruel, but is the death of the elephant so much worse than the mundane cruelty and misery of normal farming?

I think that some of the more extreme things said on this thread about what should be done to this woman can only legitimately be said by vegans and, to a lesser extent, vegetarians. Those of us who are meat eaters should face the fact that we are sometimes just as cruel, only we do it remotely rather than buying a special bow and arrow.

That may well be the case, but that doesn't mean that meat eaters by default must support the actions of the stupid hag.
Hypocrisy is pretty much a fundamental part of being a human and non-meat eaters are not exempt from it.

I'm not condoning the cruelty of farmed animals, but they are reared for us to eat. yes the way that they farmed is unacceptable.

But i find extremely unacceptable that a animal is shot and left to die in the name of sport or for a bet.

At least battery hens turn into chicken nuggets that are eaten.

Vegan debate is not really my thing dude...

Not at all. Veganism means avoidance of all animal abuse, which certainly includes people. It's always worth pointing out the Vegan Society's motto: 'For people, animals, and the environment'--in that order. The primary objective for us (because we are people) is to ensure a better society for people and animals, although animals are not far off. I would never advocate violence against her. The worst possible punishment for her would be for her to understand her actions.

Cruelty is actually a bit of a red herring, as it opens the doors for the 'humane killing' defence. And it's not cruel to be completely distanced from what happens to the animal. It's precisely that in eating meat so passively you are not being cruel or emotionally upset that causes the problem. An actual experience of cruelty could be a real eye-opener. Still, that in itself isn't enough--I've met so many lapsed vegans or vegetarians who only ever had their emotional reaction to cruelty (e.g., as shown in a TV documentary) to guide their actions, and when that emotion faded, they had nothing else, which is why rational moral reasons are important to bolster up the motivation.
