He looks so much like Donald Trump it’s uncanny.

Tasty.

This is a great story - the only thing that would've made it better is if the lion had killed the entire family

Any legitimate news sources confirming this? Smells fake, such as not naming the hunter.

by Anonymousreply 16January 27, 2023 11:39 PM

Good.

I love stories like this. Big game hunters should all be literally fed to lions. Round them up and charge admission. More fun than guillotines for sure.

He may have paid the local tribe to hunt it. His wife definitely paid off that lion's brother. She's finally free.

I'd love to see a video of the lions' feast. I'd pop a bottle of champagne while watching.

There’s video of the incident in the linked article R25. Fatso was live streaming.

I’m confused. The man in the video isn’t fat. If that is real, I am totally freaked that I just saw and heard that.

by Anonymousreply 28January 28, 2023 1:39 AM

Also, how were they eaten alive if they lion left so quickly? And no mention of the woman? What was that honking sound before she saw it?

by Anonymousreply 29January 28, 2023 1:40 AM

It's fine, the lion is on keto so he can have the extra fat.

by Anonymousreply 30January 28, 2023 1:51 AM

Geez, you can see a lion charge and hear the woman scream.

You hear her scream but you also hear gunshots. Then the lion meanders back into the frame a minute later. Did that couple get away?

[quote]The article featured an image of a Savannah Lion killed in the Kalahari Desert, South Africa over a decade ago, with a message falsely claiming that the photo was taken recently in South Africa.

[...]

[quote]The creators of the misleading video in question had manipulated a photograph of a lion that was hunted in 2013, superimposing it on a generic landscape resembling South Africa. They then staged a scenario in which a lion was depicted as taking revenge on two trophy hunters. The originators of this video remain unidentified, however, it is believed to have been produced as part of an anti-hunting advocacy campaign.

The video is completely fake. The dead lion is fake. The acting is fake, and the charging lion is clearly video layered on top of video. Sorry.

by Anonymousreply 36January 28, 2023 2:18 AM

I didn't know there was a video R31 so went and looked.

I've seen that video before long ago. It's fake. (see link below) It's not to do with the great big fat person in the OP's link. Or is it? Is the story about the great big fat person in the pic or is it about the video?

To be frank - that whole story is fucking lazy and tacky in its execution. It's reporting on tweets as actual content. Not even any analysis or anything. Just pasting the contents of tweets. Not even bothered to confirm any of it. And in The Esquire too! I guess nobody reads that anymore right?

[quote]On 7 June 2016, YouTube user Jayden Tanner published a video purportedly showing "leaked" footage of a trophy hunter being attacked by a lion while posing for a photograph with another lion she had allegedly killed:

[quote]This video does not show a real incident. In addition to some problems with the optics — the lion makes its way from the horizon to the camera at an alarmingly fast (and quiet) rate — this footage used an image of a lion that was killed in 2013, not 2016 as claimed in the YouTube messag

Nice work DL Hot Detective Squad @ R34 and 35. You posted that while I was writing mine.

Connecting the two. The Esquire journalist has stolen a headline from one article and pasted the contents of various tweets as the story. Not bothering to even use Google.

I mean... that's pretty bad. That's a very low standard. I just thought The Esquire was quite classy and well-done.

Anyway - anyone who hunts animals like this is sub-human. The same level as paedophiles. Unacceptable thing to do on any level, for any reason.

Everyone knows it’s the lioness who hunts and kills. The male Lion just sits around and watches until it’s time to eat. That’s how I knew it was fake. Although I wanted it to be true!

Whether the story's true or not that pic looks legit but let's be clear...

That man is NOT A HUNTER. FFS, that man needs a rascal scooter just to go to the mailbox.

Yet they expect me to believe he didn't just hire a "guide" who tranquilized the animal so they're a slow groggy target and then drives the man to a nearby area where he can sit at a podium with a scoped rifle and merely pull the trigger..

That's what these shithats call hunting.

So, if the story isn't true, is the guy in the photo still a prey-for-pay Safari hunter? There have been so many good jokes in this thread, and it seems a shame to waste them.

Perhaps but the role of the male lion is to protect the pride, which is apparently what they were doing in this case.

The gross fatty that looked like Dump was a nice touch though.

by Anonymousreply 63January 29, 2023 6:29 AM

These safari hunters probably have several other men with rifles at the ready, so if the hunter who is paying all the money shoots and misses when the lion is charging at them, the other men will kill the lion before he has a chance to reach them.
