This my friends is what the power of coming together and speaking out against blatant disrespect of animals can do. A few days ago, Idaho Fish and Game Commissioner Blake Fischer shared some abhorrent photos of himself with some animals he killed while on a hunting trip with his wife in Africa. We've all seen these types of photos, you know the ones where the assholes are standing behind these beautiful animals smiling away like they've accomplished some great feat while the corpse of the animal lays before them? There was however, a major problem with the photos the Mr. Fischer decided to share.
Needless to say, the backlash was swift and Mr. Fischer was forced to resign from his position today. If the Idaho Fish and Game Commission suggests you resign despite the fact that it's kind of a hunting protectionist group, then you know you fu<ked up. Looks good on him and I hope in the future he thinks about his actions before proudly showing off his "kills" with his perverted smile in the background.
This is definite proof that if we all come together and speak out on something, our voices can and will be heard. Together, the world was able to pressure him in to resigning after something he thought he did that was ethical. Let me remind you all, trophy hunting is not ethical unless you lack empathy or compassion. There is nothing ethical about killing animals that don't want to die, specifically those that are already endangered. Enough is enough here, we must continue to speak out on trophy hunting until we see the end of it before we unfortunately see the end of animals like giraffes, elephants, leopards, and lions.

The development of hunters is very messed up. When trophy hunters first got their kids to enjoy killing animals for a thrill in MN, they set up the shot and kids pulled the trigger. Without exception, all the kids imagined the bear was going to hurt them to explain why they killed it. They had an innate moral compass that killing for fun was wrong. Of course after years of watching their loving Dad have fun causing suffering and death - they start to change. that is why we can't Blake Fischer's who works with the big Brothers' Organization of Boise giving kids weapons to slaughter animals for fun. Please get people to protest his involvement with children in this organization.

Thank you for your post Mary! I will look in to this and come up with something in the near future! I certainly agree that giving children guns and teaching them that taking lives for fun is wrong and I will support any cause to end Blake's involvement with this organization!
