Some of the comments are really vile, but she handles herself with class. She says she has had over 5000 threats in one day.

There’s the one where someone attacked her mom and said “she should have died instead of giving birth to me.” Another said her dad should “shoot me instead of shooting the bear.” And finally, there’s one where someone suggested she just “shoot herself.”

That's just disgusting. Why can't this group of people be opposed to something without wishing death on a person is beyond me.

because for some reason. that bear is worth more to them then you or I. Even though they do not know you, me or the bear. I think that every anti-hunter that eats store bought meat should be required to take a tour through showing the life of their "humanely" produced meat.

does that specific bear been used for the meat?
 
Handled it like a pro. Too bad she is used to it.

I don't know why the mainstream media reports so frequently on 'anonymous social outrage'. Feeding the beast I guess.
 
It's the Internet.

People with intellectual/social/mental health issues spend their time trolling and abusing people online, hiding behind anonymity.

Most are just immature or of low intellect, but a good number have mental issues or are outright psychopaths.

Frankly, they should be ignored, or pitied, unless they make a specific threat of violence, in which case the police should be brought in.
 
I may do my hunting at the grocery store, but personally I'm not anti hunting at all. I can't understand why people that claim to be anti hunting and anti gun can be so pro violence by wishing someone they have never met dead. Scary mentality.
 
I'd be the last one to defend these crazy people in any way, but rather than focus on their dysfunction I'd rather see the hunting community take a more proactive (rather than reactive) approach to improving our collective public image.

A good start would be for the hunting shows on TV to focus more on the animal and the food from the animal. Most shows end with a victory scream or a high five (or both) and a shot of a dead animal. For non-hunters to think that it is all about killing is a logical conclusion to what they are seeing.

How many shows show the animal being cared for respectfully after the shot? How many shows explain the importance of proper field dressing, skinning, butchering, etc.? How many shows include a segment where the hunter sits down to a gourmet meal of wild meat with his family/friends?

People say hunters are their own worst enemy, but more and more I see the hunting media industry as one of our worst enemies. As a hunter, I simply can't even watch most of that crap.
