Idaho wildlife official pressured to step down after posting photo of a baboon-family hunt

Posted by / October 16, 2018

Idaho Fish and Game Commissioner Blake Fischer recently went on a hunting trip. Like any real man would do, he used a bow to hunt––and he hunted an entire family of baboons. He inexplicably thought that everyone would think his kill was pretty cool, but that was not the case. Other wildlife officials have called for his resignation, since his actions put hunting in general in a bad light.

“I didn’t do anything illegal. I didn’t do anything unethical. I didn’t do anything immoral,” Fischer said. “… I look at the way Idaho’s Fish and Game statute says we’re supposed to manage all animals for Idaho, and any surplus of animals we have we manage through hunting, fishing and trapping. Africa does the same thing.”

    I can taste the vomit in my mouth looking at this photo. Someday I hope he looks back on this hunting trip and feels remorse.

    there is something fundamentally wrong with someone who chooses to kill rather than celebrate the beauty, they of course can not see the difference, they are deeply flawed. they require years of therapy to become humane as they were when they were a child.
