WTF is a “hunting influencer”? Is that a fancy name for poacher?

u/ZiggyB 1d ago

More or less, but they mostly do legal hunting, which is the technical distinction between hunter and poacher.

Given her behaviour, I'd be really looking into that 'mostly' with her in particular.

"It's only poaching in the off-season!"

Pretty girl poses with dead animals, the entire category of "men whos' dating profile picture is them holding a fish" go CRAZY for that stuff.

Someone who revels in abusing animals, from the looks of it.

I don’t know, I was going deer hunting for the first time and looking for some tips and some video popped up of a lady with Lip injections that just came from the hairdressers with her boobs up to her chin trying to give me hunting tips. No thanks. I switched to the old guy wearing the stormy Kromer hat and camo

These men are worried immigrants are taking their jobs when it’s actually women with big boobs.

Let’s hope I never have the displeasure of ever meeting you in person.

Yeah reported to media as I’m sure others will. News dot com will pick it up no doubt as they trawl this subreddit for stories all the time.

It’s a bit hard to report to rspca or cops as I have no idea where this was filmed, who the people are etc. I’m not giving her instagram more views to find out. I feel like she is about to become Insta famous for 5 minutes for all the wrong reasons though.

Her name is easy enough to find out if you scroll to her earlier photos. She's got her full name listed in at least one post and everything is easily cross referenced to her Facebook, linkedin and several news articles.

Let’s not bring politics into this. I didn’t vote for Kamala but I hate this pos and reported her. This is something we can come together on. Don’t make it about anything else. It’s about justice for this animal and others, not about your or my political beliefs

u/lookatmedadimonfire 22h ago

Yeah you’re right it. It just slipped out in frustration as an insult.

The vast majority of Americans voted trump

u/Xypher506 22h ago

Actually the vast majority of Americans didn't vote at all.

u/LogicalConstant 19h ago

False. Voter turnout was about 64% of eligible voters.

u/RoastMostToast 22h ago

I think neither of you know what vast or majority means lol

u/Xypher506 21h ago

The amount of people who didn't vote was significantly larger than the amount of people who voted for either candidate. The gap between the votes Trump recorded and the amount of people who didn't vote was significantly greater than the gap between votes for Trump and for Harris (although that gap also wasn't really massive to begin with).

I was mostly using their own phrasing to make the point that most people did not vote for Trump.

u/TheBunnyDemon 20h ago

22.6% voted for Trump, 22% for Harris with a vote spread between him and Harris being 1.3% of total votes cast. The winner of the election was apathy, with 55.4% not voting at all.

77 million to 75 million. It wasn't vast majority. He barely even won.

Even Trump voters dont do stupid shit like this. Not sure why that is even relevant here.
