Hey Pierre we should tell that Belgian football fan Axelle Despiegelaere to get in touch with you now L'Oréal dumped her for being a hunter

After she turns 18 of course

I saw the story on TV a few minutes ago. I was going to post it, but you beat me to it.

Well, it looks she will be 18 soon yes but I don't think she will ring at my door because after this scandal she will not need me because in theory lot of medias will propose her some job !!!
Anyway, she kills animals and probabily she doesn't like the "White Gorilla" and me I don't like hunters even if it a bomba like her !!!

I always find it funny when people get pissed off to hunters, and then they go to supermarket and pick up some chicken or other meat. You should see how that food is made and how the chickens are living. Not pretty.

Well, I do a big difference between eat an animal and be the guy who has killed him.
If you eat a beef, it means this poor beast was destined from is birthday to finish like that and he has been killed by a machine or by a guy who is generaly not so happy of his job.
But when you take a weapon sophisticated and enjoy shoot a wild animal, you're just a killer who loves take off the life !!! It's my personal point of view.
I have grown up in the forest and my grand-father brought me to hunt at 6 and 7 years old many times. I enjoyed to shoot but not to shoot the animal. Once a huge wild pig run on a path in our direction when I had the gun in the hands and he told me to shoot fast but I didn't and jump on my left not by fear but because I thought already the game wasn't fair.
Later at 9 years old I was in a tree when just under me a 180 kg wild pig fight with many dogs, killing them one by one and then arrived many hunters who shoot him many times and killed him. This part of land was our property and I was madly furious, so I went down from the tree and started to insult thoses guys. One of them slaped me very hard without care I was just a children. My father was at work and I cannot do nothing. I never saw these bastards again in my life but I know that people who love see the blood have darkness instead of a heart !!!

If you find this post disgusting, I won't mind if you delete it. In 1964 there was a guerrilla (civil) war in Rhodesia. The US applied economic pressure on them first, and then South Africa second. The Soviet Union, China and North Korea sent weapons and guerrillas to fight and bring down the white government. They would slaughter any white farmers that they could. The government had a $10,000 bounty on any foreign guerrillas dead or alive.
I knew a guy who lived in Florida who went there, big game hunting. One night he went on a hunting party at night and shot a Russian guerrilla. He got his money, but Rhodesia lost the war, becoming Zimbabwe.
The country used to export food to other African countries. Now they cannot feed themselves. The US gives them between $200 and $300 million dollars each year so they won't starve. The guerrillas continue to kill whites whenever they can and they cannot leave the country. Just like East Berlin.

Yes always the same shit everywhere !!!

I respect your feelings, Pierre, but in rare cases the tables are turned. In 1898, the British were building a railroad bridge over the Tsavo river in Kenya. Col Patterson was in charge of the project. There were 2 male lions in the area that discovered 3 things. Humans cannot run as fast as antelope, their skin is thinner and the meat is not as tough. The railroad workers were imported from India, and in March of 1898, they started disappearing. The lions stalked them at night. The workers slept in tents, with bonfires and thorn fences for protection. It did no good. In the next 9 months about 135 were killed and maybe 35 eaten. (Even house cats have been known to kill mice and birds, even when not hungry. They kill for the thrill.
Finally, Col. Patterson, went out at night with his Enfield rifle and stalked the lions while they stalked him. After many nights of trying, he managed to kill them both. One lion was 3 meters long and it took 6 men to carry the body.
If this true story sounds like a good plot for a movie, you are right. At least 4 movies have been made about it: including "Bwana Devil", and the 1996 film, "The Ghost and the Darkness", starring Val Kilmer.
Nowdays, the union would file a grievance and the government would complain about an unsafe work environment.
There is an old saying: Somedays you eat the bear,
and somedays the bear eats you.

Sorry George but I have a serious doubt about what you say. I don't think the guy you knew did shot a Russian guerrilla. Maybe he did shot a local guy supported by Soviet Union...that is very different.

Yes I think so too ...
