Leopard Kill
Leopards are beautiful animals
Preservation's where we're putting our skill
So why is a USA woman
Showing off her proud leopard kill?
The picture appeared on social media
And went viral all round the world
The outrage was loud and wide-spoken
At such no-care attitude unfurled

Bravo Don for bringing this to everyone's attention! I have never seen this and I am in shock!
I cannot say what I'm thinking because the language is NOT appropriate but I will say that I believe in "Karma" and I hope this woman pays for her atrocity!
She is a disgrace to the human race!!!!!!!!!!!

How can she be proud of that ?
She should be deeply ashamed.

Don,
this attitude is prevalent in any society which finds guns to be acceptable. If disgruntled students massacre their class mates a leopard is small fry. Sadly so.
Thanks for posting this.

This is our sport, we all love it
The NRA provide us with guns (a wild guess)
We all enjoy firing our cannons
So what if there's one leopard less?
The thrill of the chase is fire-upping
The target lined up in our sights
We don't care what animal sits there
We don't care if we're wrong or we're right
As long as the kill brings us accolades
As long as we can hold our kill proud
We don't care what others may think of us
We're content with our heads in the cloud
D ?

Don - they say a leopard doesn't change its spots, but you've certainly changed yours with this piece to show that beneath your fun exterior there's a serious person inside.
So awful!!
Thanks for highlighting this, Don
I must agree Don . the picture shown here almost seems like she is cuddling the animal like it was stuffed toy!!

An appalling image that deserves your condemnation.
The use of firearms is varied but this example is totally unacceptable -
UNLESS the animal in question was a threat and had a record of depredation. As a boy, I read the book by Harry
Corbett(?) "The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag"
(think that's the spelling) - about a beast that was killing
villagers. He was a professional hunter hired to track
and kill it - and told his tale in the above book.
That is a world apart from those who kill certain species
for no other reason than to boast of a "trophy" killing.
There is an ironic news item online of a guy injured when
the bear he'd shot fell on him! Nature's pay-back?!
I have my own experience of using a range of firearms.
There is a satisfaction in their precision, and the handling of these items - used to obtain the target accuracy that is a sport in itself....check the Olympics.
Unfortunately, due to political scaremongering and the like, this has been diminished, along with the disciplined familiarity that eliminates the fear of firearms in minds
unaccustomed to their use.
