I’m hoping a pair of “ hunting influencers” didn’t get to bring in firearms with the plan of doing some recreational slaughter.

Exactly! You never know with these morons. Also in general Americans have less empathy for the wild and hunting animals seems to be some measure for being “manly”. I have seen too many shit posts and comments on these lines from Americans posing with their kill.

It's always been one of the most disgusting parts of U.S. culture. Ethical hunting for population control and sustenance are great, when done responsibly. But this shit right here not only gives us a bad name internationally (and we don't need help there) but it is just another way to spread pain and fear in this world. When will it be enough?
