The reasons behind a tracker's attack on a wild animal remain unclear. Reports indicate they were so fucking mental that they didn't see a problem with killing an innocent being for no reason.

Whenever I read about these hunters getting killed there is always this element in the reporting that it was a tragedy. It wasn't. It was a glorious victory. Two entered a death match (one unwilling) and one survived. The buffalo defied odds heavily stacked against it and won. The buffalo didn't ask to be the target of a wanker with a gun who likes killing things for fun. The wanker should also acknowledge that they're are risks in playing death games. Sorry dude you lost. Buffalo won. Buffalo should get to live like a king as its prize.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Klingon voices suddenly cried out in agreement and were suddenly honored. I ~~fear~~ know something glorious has happened
Asher was fatally injured in a sudden and unprovoked attack by an unwounded buffalo
Yeah, I'm sure it was unprovoked by the car full of people following it for hours.
Oh no! Is the buffalo ok?
He's traumatized from the hostility and will have PTSD. But he did the right thing.
The reason behind the buffalo's attack on the trackers remains unclear. Reports indicate it became hostile before charging down the 52 year old.
God sending Harambe back for one last job.
And nothing of value was lost.
At least until they revenge hunt the animal for defending itself.
“Locals shocked that megafauna are megafauna and humans are not invincible just because they have guns.”
In South Africa too. Like, do they not get that wild animals don’t play by human rules? It’s bigger than you. You took that risk.
This warms my heart ❤️🥰
Oh No! A millionaire trophy hunter was brutally mauled to death by a vicious beast? This is a terrible tragedy :( Seriously, what could be more important than the life of a complete and utter scumbag?
I wonder how many innocent children starved and were murdered by the IDF today?
Doesn't matter- didn't you hear? A rich white man was killed!
That buffalo deserves that millionaire's body as trophy.

"Why are you attacking me I'm just trying to hunt you"
Rest in piss 👋
What a traumatic experience for the buffalo, I hope it's ok.
I think this is more "fuck around and find out" than "leopards ate my face".
There should be a photo of the buffalo posing with his body, like all those pics of him posing with his kills.
Nothing of value was lost.
Buffalo ate my face.
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo ate my face.
FAFO. No animal deserves to die according to the pleasure of some jackass human.
While trophy hunting is fucked up, I'd like to remind people that hunting as done by regular people and not this millionaire bozo is a critical aspect of conservation.
Hunting keeps deer and elk from overpopulating and stressing the habitats of other wild life. It is the only thing that keeps prion diseases in these populations in check. Hunters are a necessity because humans have displaced and culled apex predators who played the same role.
RIP Bozo
Lol fair's fair, pretty sure he was fixing to kill a buffalo
Hot take, I'll offer an alternative perspective. Obviously, poaching is one of the most disgusting crimes. Sourcing animal parts for folk remedies is reprehensible.
Responsibly managed hunting generates a ton of money, some of which which gets invested into the local community and into conservation efforts.
The key word here is responsible. If a land manager shared wealth in an equitable fashion with the locals, and demonstrates careful management of animal herds by close monitoring of populations, that's responsibility. I wouldn't want to hunt on lands owned by, say, a literal nazi in South Africa. But, unfortunately, as long as we live under capitalism, I have a hard time imagining a different way to encourage the world to preserve our natural resources.
I don't disagree but I also think it's fair game for the hunted to win. That should be part of the point of big game hunting, it's fucking dangerous and tbh it's a little satisfying as a poor when the buffalo beats the millionaire in a battle to the death the millionaire started
Whole point of capitalism is breaking the game to get ahead.
No. Actually, if you read Adams, it should be a pretty just system, the problem being people I that system, without checks and balances.
People, not systems, are the problem.
A new system that allows entrepreneurship, while protecting those who just want to go and clock-in, allows private property, but prevents accumulation and speculation, etc... But designed from the ground up to prevent major deviations, is in order.
Pussy, ambushing a lone buffalo while armed with a big game gun!
Run the bulls in Pamplona, like real men do.
The reason behind the buffalo's attack on the trackers remains unclear>
Well, just a wild guess, but "These creatures are shooting at me and want to kill me" sounds like a pretty good reason.
His ex-partner and teenage daughter have been notified of his death.
I parsed that sentence wrong and the next paragraph didn't help me correct it.
A close friend of the father revealed: "He spent every spare moment he could with Savannah and shared his life with her. Nobody could love a daughter more than he did...
I was in full WTF mode for a second there.
Also can someone explain to me what a luxury ranch is? Cause I just imagine it's a fucked up modern day plantation with extra steps.
If they wanna call it a “sport” they have to let both sides win and lose.
Oh well....
This should be posted in "uplifting."
Edit: it was!
He died doing something he loved: being eviscerated by black death thousands of miles away from the few people that pretended to love him in order to gain access to his money.
