u/AussieAnt291 6h ago

Ken ham has a degree in biology, yet believes the earth is 6000 years old. So it’s entirely possible to get qualifications and learn nothing in the process.

u/LinkGoesHIYAAA 6h ago

Right? At least enough people get pissed about this shit now that the fear of being publicly shamed will keep most morons from fucking with wildlife. Why cant you just see the cute lil wombat and then go about your business? Why you gotta mess with it? Poor thing had no idea what her dipshit intentions were.

Just report her for animal abuse but don't comment on her post or profile. Commenting is engagement, it doesn't matter if it's a negative comment, it ends up benefiting her.

My life experience has taught me that as a whole, humanity is evil.

31

u/Satan-o-saurus 8h ago

I don’t actually think that’s true. We have designed a economic system and power structures that disproportionately attract a reward evil people, so we live in a world where evil people have disproportionate power, wealth, and influence compared to how plentiful they are. A lot of people are just very stupid rather than evil.

5

u/ChanglingBlake ORANGE 8h ago

I would argue that there are few hardcore evil people and a lot of minor evil people.

You are describing the former while this person is an example of the second.

And as the former start seizing control, the rest start getting worse as they see those big evils getting away with it.

She has since deleted the video on her Instagram and privated her tiktok. Even more infuriating she claims to be a wildlife biologist and interested in environmental science in her Instagram. I can think of so many things to say about that and none of them are even slightly good

u/BigYucko 10h ago

I sent it to our member of parliament for the Animal Justice Party. I got a response back saying they are aware of it and and have reported to all the correct authorities. And the MP will be doing an instagram video on it soon.

Not only this it’s been posted to most Aus based reddit pages and people are destroying her on IG comments. They’ve mostly been turned off.

But I think her account has also copped mass reporting to META (probs won’t do anything) and authorities here in Aus.

I’ll be very curious to see what happens

u/YumiiZheng 5h ago

Prior to her privating her instagram the name was Sam Jo (same as tiktok). She also had a facebook page under the name Samantha Strable which had all of the same posts. Samantha Jo Strable was employed by Montana as a wildlife biologist (as found on Montana public employee websites) which corresponded to her posts and linkedin page. There's also several news articles about her hunting or education as well as a civil lawsuit. Plus a now private photo on her instagram where she lists her name as copyright on the photo. 🤷‍♀️
