Hahahahahahaha!
You already deserve to be gored to death for trophy hunting, but if you try hunting something called the Black Death, you're just asking for it.

Naw, I can take him! Hold my beer!
Built different, eh 😂
rc__buggy was never heard from again
This would be more suitable in an "uplifting news" community
In this case, literally uplifting? By the horn puncture wound?
How? It's ACTUALLY uplifting, not Corpo Apologia
Right, and this is Lemmy, not Facebook
Doesn't feel like it sometimes.
“On Sunday, while on a hunting safari with us in South Africa's Limpopo Province, Asher was fatally injured in a sudden and unprovoked attack by an unwounded buffalo. He was tracking it together with one of our professional hunters and one of our trackers. This is a devastating incident, and our hearts go out to his loved ones.”
Go fuck yourself Coenraad and Vermaak Safaris. Unprovoked my ass. You were trying to murder the Buffalo. Also, stop calling this shit hunting. You can’t lead a millionaire douchbag with a gun out into a ranch with a tracker and call him hunter. Are you going to pull the trigger for him too?
"I was trying to kill him and he attacked me completely unprovoked!"
Would not hold up in court if we were talking about humans.
The buffalo was unprovoked?
You ever look up what the proceeds of those safaris go to? Usually, to animal conservation efforts and to pay the people who stop poachers. If you don't believe me feel free to look it up. And usually the "targets" of these safaris are from problem animals or animals who have become too much of a burden to care for.
But is he okay? Getting shot at can be traumatic. I hope he's okay.
And I thought feel good news articles were dead. It's good to know journalism can still bring a smile to my face occasionally.
I hope the buffalo is ok. Imagine minding your own buissnes, and a murderer comes and takes shots at you.
In all fairness, this was truly self-defense. I would do the same if I was a buffalo.
"Hunter" guided to the largest target out there, somehow still misses so bad, the target pummels him.
👏...👏...👏...
We have one less Elma Fudd.
He must have not been a true millionaire. I hear they're invincible. Only way to prove you’re one of them is to try this shit and see if you’re killed.
Other similar options: Submersible near the Titanic, riding in Boeing aircraft, orbiting in a Tesla, being on the slicing end of a guillotine. All voluntary of course.
I see the problem. He is targeting a land-based species, but has his weapon and attention on something in the air. A common, but fatal, mistake. Shoot for the moon, land on the horns of a buffalo.
I love the responses in the content section. Good riddance to this fucking guy and let those safari parks crumble.

Apparently this community exists!
Would love to see that active, but lemm.ee is dead. Sadly.
Oh no!! 😭
To maybe add a little bit of perspective on the why of his hunting a Cape Buffalo.
The danger of getting maimed or killed is an integral part of the hunt for people like him. This time he lost to the hunt and the Buffalo won. And this is not considered the most dangerous land animal in Africa to hunt. That honor goes to Hippos. Evidently they don't much respect getting shot with .500 nitro Express......
I won't shed a tear for him, but I do understand his thoughts.
Black Death > white rich man.
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Texas Watkins.
Nice.
In loving memory of your demise
So why do they call it Black Death, anyway?
Probably because it was a super friendly albino buffalo.
Couldn't he hunt some non-named buffalo? This is like trying to shoot Kirk instead of a red shirt.
But wouldnt the result have been the same if he had hunted Kirk, prolly been double fist punched to death ?
Why is South Africa underlined?
My guess: It's a link. This news website likely will show other South Africa news if you click it.

Is the buffalo keeping a trophy?
