Haha! Hunter became the hunted and got what he deserves. Hunting for sport is so lame. Go fly a kite!

Millionaire big game hunter gored to death in ambush by "Black Death" buffalo
(www.irishstar.com)
In my country hunters try to avoid overpopulation of species (which older generations of hunters caused by getting rid of the local Wolf population), not murdering for fun.
Also, many of the big game hunts in Africa and such target older males that aren't procreating, but are preventing younger males from doing so, and the large fees they charge go to conservation efforts.
Hunters over here oppose the reintroduction of new wolf populations and want to shoot them all dead so fuck them.
Good.
Luigi Buffalo!

To play the devil's advocate; Some of these hunts are purposeful culling for heard health. Plus, African nations make a few bucks. Also, guns aren't magic kill switches. I'd be scared shitless if even a little black bear was charging me, no matter which pistol or shotgun I was carrying.
OTOH, sounds like this guy wanted the challenge. Meh. Ya win some ya lose some. 😆

Hum, how to properly respond..... Lulz
Has anyone watched Murderbot yet? It's really good.

Excellent. That’s one for us today.

Oh no how unfortunate.
He probably had a tag for just that exact individual. Odds are it was issued because that individual was a hazard to the local area and or other members of the species. I used to hate big game trophy hunting but I have come to understand it is much more complicated and beneficial than the headlines lead people to believe.
He probably paid an arm and a leg for that tag which was going to fund conservation and the meat was going to feed the village.

I request gold. Thank you for your attention to this matter. /s
Bro, we're just glad a billionaire is dead. The irony of the hunter ended up dead by his prey is just icing on the cake, it wouldn't matter if the hunter was a billionaire or not. The justification behind the hunt is irrelevant.

Nature bats last.... full respect to Comrade Buffalo.
Kudos to the Cape Buffalo and glad he/she was pissed off. During a visit to Kruger National Park, it was a bit nerve wracking sitting in a vehicle while a herd of Cape Buffalo surround you.
Good.
In other news:
The reasons behind a tracker's attack on a wild animal remain unclear. Reports indicate they were so fucking mental that they didn't see a problem with killing an innocent being for no reason.
