And she ran away and blocked. Calvinism when you apply scrutiny is always exposed as abhorrent.

A few months ago, a 75 year old hunter was killed by a herd of elephants while hunting in the African country of Gabon for a species of antelope called the Yellow-Backed Duiker. The event was an accident when the group stumbled into the elephants, who then acted defensively.

This provides revenue to the communities that incentivizes reducing bushmeat consumption in the area, as the meat from the hunts is already distributed to them.

This all has led to a successful hunting program with healthy populations of game species like the yellow-backed duiker and non game species like the forest elephant. Let's celebrate that.

Wyoming boasts the world's largest wild population of American Bison in the world, with their herds numbering up to 5,500 individuals. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem holds almost the entire population.

Regulated sport hunting is utilized as a culling tool to manage the herd size in Yellowstone. The revenue from these hunts also funds further management measures to keep the state's bison population stable.

People like Trevor will specifically target "Mormons" because they, as the narcissistic and abusive people they are, believe that the "nice" stereotype that Latter Day Saints have will allow them to abuse, harrass, and slander without any pushback. They are nothing but cowards.

And when Latter Day Saints do respond appropriately, these cowards hide behind the stereotype and say "See, these people aren't nice". It's a classic gaslighting tactic of abusive narcissists.

Most animal rights activists are degenerate cretins and all it takes for them to expose their true colors is to have someone they disagree with die. Let me be clear, I don't like people like Elizabeth. But I would never dance on her grave if something awful happened to her.
Fabulous! … For all those moaning I never post good news, here’s some! Big game hunter trampled to death by 5 gorgeous elephants 🔥

One of the most intensely debated species in North America is the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker. Despite the last official sighting being in 1944, Ornithologists have had numerous claimed sightings of the species since then, with the latest one being in 2023. 1/3

Many of these sightings are just misidentifications of the similar Pileated Woodpecker. However, some sightings lend more credence to the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker, leading many to believe that it still exists. This belief is so strong, that when the USFWS moved to declare 2/3

the species officially extinct in 2021, there were large petitions and protests that eventually made them rescind the decision. I personally think there is a decent chance either way, but even if they are alive, they would still be critically endangered. 3/3

Due to commercial hunting in the 19th century, the elk was drive to extinction in the state of Arizona in 1900. Fortunately, 13 years later, hunters dedicated to conservation transported more than 80 elk from Yellowstone National Park to Sitgreaves National Forest.

Now, in 2026, Arizona sustains a healthy population of 35,000 elk that continues to grow. Management and conservation of this herd is funded by hunting license and tag fees combined with the Pittman-Robertson tax on firearm and ammunition sales.

This is one of many examples of the North American Conservation Model succeeding in the restoration of species in the United States.
