shows the N.R.A. chief Wayne LaPierre and his wife hunting elephants. His wife, Susan, kills an elephant, cuts off its tail, and holds it in the air. “Victory!” she shouts.

1. What a tragedy!

Where was the herd to trample these two evil pieces of shit?

Look at their grins.

[Buns_of_Fire]

2. I remember reading that it was an open secret within the NRA

that whenever Big Wayne had any sort of firearm in his hands, the wisest move was to take cover.

[onethatcares]

3. there's something seriously wrong

with those people.

[spanone]

4. fuck them both.

[snort]

5. They'd be fun to hunt.

Hope the LaPierre's can run fast, more sporting that way.

[XanaDUer2]

6. I hope he and his wife are unvaccinated nt

[Phoenix61]

7. There is something seriously wrong with someone

who takes pleasure in killing a living being for “sport.” One more time I wish I believed in hell because they would surely be in the deepest, darkest corner of it.

8. Hard to imagine feeling like one has accomplished something killing an elephant, big cat, etc.

[Hoyt]

9. Sorry, duplicate.

[The Blue Flower]

10. The absolute worst version of humanity

May they start rotting before they get to hell.

[Baked Potato]

11. I really, really dislike these MFers.

12. Trophy hunters are scum. Every single one of them. No exceptions. (n/t)

13. Flush 'em & forget 'em.

The sewer is where they belong.

COVID has also taken a toll on wildlife.

The tourism revenue upon which Africa relies for conservation has dried up because of Covid – allowing poachers to thrive, according to a major new report by Tusk and Natural State.

African elephants, lions and rhinos face a renewed onslaught from poachers after Covid caused cash from tourism to slump.

The pandemic has thrown African game reserves into crisis, virtually eliminating the tourism revenues that are vital for the conservation of gorillas, giraffes and other endangered species, according to a major new report.

14. Disgusting.

I don’t object to hunting for food. But this is just glorifying in the killing of an animal for the sake of the killing.

[11 Bravo]

15. She should be locked in a room with the carcass, and not allowed out until ...

she has consumed every ounce of that magnificent beast's flesh.

I'm not anti-hunter. I've hunted since I was a kid. But I eat what I kill (and I don't kill endangered creatures).

Trophy hunters are a fucking stain on humanity.

[bluewater]

16. I'm incredibly saddened that anyone, let alone these two, are killing elephants.

[demtenjeep]

17. fucking disgusting pieces of shit

I fucking hate them

[Xolodno]

18. In the show Yellowstone, there is one episode where someone out prison says....

..."Mister, I don't know you. But I know whoever wears that mark is a bad man. And you have to be really bad if they want it back.". And the villain's are portrayed as a hero's against two white supremacist's ....who are also trophy hunters.

19. Did Susan fly her makeup artist along at NRA expense?

The NRA spent tens of thousands of dollars bringing hair and makeup artists around the country for the wife of its CEO, two sources told The Daily Beast. The expenses–which included plane flights and luxury hotel stays for the stylists–are bound to fuel an already-raging debate over what some see as a spendthrift culture in the NRA’s upper echelons. The NRA, meanwhile, called it a “non-story,” and said their ex-ad firm was responsible for any such expenses. 

Susan LaPierre, the wife of longtime NRA chief Wayne LaPierre, is one of the gun organization’s many public faces, and co-chairs its Women’s Leadership Forum. She often speaks at that group’s annual gatherings for female NRA supporters. And for years now, the NRA has paid for a makeup artist and a hair stylist, both based in Nashville and plugged in to the country music scene, to do LaPierre’s hair and make-up at events around the country, according to two sources familiar with the arrangements. 

The NRA Women’s Leadership Forum hosts many of its events in major metropolitan areas where local hair and makeup talent abounds. But because of LaPierre’s preference for the Nashville artists, the gun group has paid a premium to fly them around the country, and put them up in style. "...(more)
