I stated her actions were distasteful and disrespectful, then supported with reasons why. You decided to go for a personal attack. You should really control your moods better.

I can both read what is communicated and understand what isn't said. The following shows that she is filling a bucket list. The statement the animals provide food for the hungry villagers is merely rationalization for her desires to feel the rush of killing apex creatures, with daddy's support and protection. You do not think deeply, do you?

And the Native American Indians showed respect for the earth and the creatures on it. Of course not every single individual, you idiot. That respect for other people and living beings is something you and many more people could benefit to learn.

You must have missed the part where she wasn't actually killing most of them. Your ability to read between the lines is even worse than your ability to read what they wrote. She's pretending to kill them all in order to exploit people easily confused by pictures and vague terms like "shoot" and "bag."

I guess that answers my "can you read?" question. You think you are reading between the lines when you are actually just jumping to the controversial assumptions they wanted you to jump to. You fed the troll. Bought it hook line and sinker then defended your initial interpretation in the face of reason and evidence to the contrary.

She did kill SOME of the animals, but only the ones that needed to be. For example, there is only one male lion per pride which consist of many females means that there are an excess of male lions outside the prides. Only one is needed to impregnate the females of the pride. The rogue male lions are a danger to themselves and the health and safety of the others. They will occasionally try to take over the pride and, successful or not, there are injuries. Even when they do succeed, they don't usually do it without injury to themselves and their next order of business is to kill all the offspring of the previous male. Reducing the numbers of rogue lions within a preserve furthers the goals of the preserve and protects the welfare of all the remaining lions.

I'm sure something similar applies to bull elephants in the preserve. If she and others weren't paying to do the dirty work, someone else would have to be paid TO do the dirty work or else all the animals would suffer and the preserve would fail to provide the conservation it exists to provide.

The white rhino was tranquilized for needed medical treatment, but they pretended that she killed it when they referenced it a second time and never used the word "tranquilizer." Did you catch that? How many other animals were simply tranquilized? I'm reading what's actually between the lines here: A lot.

This woman is a piece of shit.

Put her out there on her own with her bow and let the animals have a fair shot at her.

Saw the pic of her kneeling and smiling next to the Hippo she had shot. Too bad it didn't chomp her ass.

I can't bereave she spent hundreds of thousands of dollars hunting in Africa. What a waist. Big forehead too. But I digress. You know how many starving Africans all that money could have fed?

Have I mentioned that 0.999...=1?

Also, this begs the question: if fat passengers all got on a treadmill before boarding a flight, could that plane make it to Neptune? What if the plane falls down while running on the treadmill and gets flung off of it?

But let's be serious for a moment folks:

“I darted a huge male white rhino that had a leg injury, most likely from lions,” Jones said. “It’s hard to explain how exciting it is to be next to such a huge animal with a vet and team of helpers performing these procedures. The vet cleaned out the wound really good and administered an antibiotic ointment for the leg injury and antibiotic shots. He also took blood samples and DNA samples to go into a DNA database, which helps combat illegal poaching.”

She didn't exactly post pics of the vet and his team treating the albinorhino. Why not?
She may not know much, but someone, somewhere along the line told her negative attention is far more effective than positive attention.

Who here can name the inventor of the transistor without googling it? Aha! That's because he didn't poast about killing cute animals.

I think we can all agree that if we used her forehead as measurements for a plane treadmill we can send a whole planefull of Failbook cattle to the nearest black hole.

FWIW I'm not hating on her for what she's doing. Maybe she felt this trollbait would raise awareness better. Fine. But when is she going to get started fixing problems in her home country like Detroit?

Your typical American snowflake whose (rich) parents told them that they were unique and special from the other ones. The prophecy is just playing itself out. Did she get a trophy for her kills and "dartings"? Yes, the pictures she took with them and attention she craved and received.

lol at all the haters who have no idea about hunting.

Yup, ignorant suburban America at it's finest.

"I live in a high rise apartment building in suburban America that I can barely afford with my $100k/yr cubicle job downtown I ride a bus to every morning and have never even seen a wheat field, cattle ranch, or been down a dirt road, but hunting is bad, fishing is bad, guns are bad, gas and diesel cars are bad, and republicans are bad because feels."

Pretty much what I read every time a hater posts

I don't think most here think hunting is bad. Just that her parents raised an attention whoring troll.

So because someone sets out on adventures, is proud and excited about what they do, and wants to share it with the world they are attention whoring trolls?

I doubt she is rich enough to really shoot randomly chosen animals that are also endangered. There is more going on here. Otherwise she and her family would have been already be prosecuted or persona non grata. If there are too much animals for a given space or really sick animals, i am okay with it to put them down if they cannot be helped.
Personally, i worry more about poachers that really slaughter animals and leave those animals horribly injured to die in the open field. I am positive she is not a poacher. That she uses her facebook to get attention... Normal teenager stuff, only here there is also money and fame...

I dunno... at least shes different from the typical girl who loves all animals and has or wants at least 3 pets

Think I would rather shoot a few animals than clean up their shit for the rest of my life. Each to their own though I guess.

Without people like her, the animals have no value besides food. For anyone attempting to do farming, elephants are a huge nuisance. Anyone trying to raise livestock, lions and other predators are a huge nuisance. Without these hunters, the only thing that makes sense to the locals is to simply kill these animals, for food, or for convenience.

Now that i reading posts in this thread, i do remember reading articles about elephants trashing fields with crops. These animals are so incredibly huge(between 3m and 4m height,around average weight is 5000 kg) and strong, that those local farmers would really need concrete walls or dig pretty deep trenches (which on itself are a danger to animals). A simple fence is not going to do it. The same problem applies for 150 to 250kg pure muscle lions.
But how to build cheaply concrete walls that are miles and miles long and on average 4 meters high... Solving a problem is not that easy in Africa but not impossible. But the money...

I wish research scientist where like rock stars (they should be) but the reality is the world is what its is. Probably would of been better if she just went quite to instead of making another page and make her facebook page friends only.

Science dudes are rocks stars to the right people. I don't watch television or movies, but do know animal behaviorist Kevin Richardson... speaking of African lions.

The problem with poisoning is it can effect other animals in the food chain like vultures and lots of other birds and even eagles scavenge. I doubt you want to do that. Also its against the law.

I agree with this. That is a good point.
