Poachers Slaughter Hibernating Bear And Her Cubs In Horrifying Video

Some humans are genuinely hard, some like to pretend, and in pretending prove they are actually only capable of cowardice in its most extreme.

Andrew Renner and his son Owen are the latter, and there is video footage that cements their place in history as such.

The father and his offspring were wandering the harsh wilderness of Esther Island, Alaska, in April 2018, when they happened upon a bear hibernating with its cubs.

After not being confronted by the sleeping mother the duo decided to wander up to its den and shoot it dead at point blank range, while the cubs wailed – such power, much testosterone.

The disturbing and tragic footage was captured on camera without the poachers’ knowing as the bears were part of a study conducted by the US Forest Service and the Alaska Department of Fish & Game.

Motion sensors were set up so that recording would take place as the bears emerged from their den – but because of the Renners they never did.

They skied up to a den, shot a slumbering, defenseless mother at point blank range, and then shot her two cubs.

What unparalleled sportsmanship. What courageous hunters. What an awesome display of manliness.

What UTTER human filth.

The only thing an animal should ever be shot with is a CAMERA.

Such a pointless, stupid, and cruel act. Infuriates me to read about assholes behaving this way.
