Y'all wanna see a bunch of Murdering Cowards?



Nearly 100 animals were recently killed on a property in South Africa, shot dead in an activity so unseemly that even those who paid top dollar to participate in it couldn't bear to show their faces.

Last week, 13 wealthy European tourists descended on three farms near the rural town of Alldays, where one of the most shameful events ever conceived had been planned for their amusement — a "driven hunt." Unlike traditional hunting, in which target animals have a reasonable chance of escape, all the group had to do was aim and shoot at the terrified targets who were forced into their line of sight.

"No hunting actually took place in the practical sense of the word," Paul Oxton, founder of the Wild Heart Wildlife Foundation, told The Dodo. "There's really no sport in it."

This is a way of saying, "Look at me. I have so much money I can buy something like this."

15. Fitting justice would be to turn them loose on the African plain , on foot, with just a sharp stick.

of vicious poltroons willfully condemning all those not close enough their god. Ready and willing to start any number of new wars on humanity while ignoring their culpability in the many war driven deaths abroad and at home.
