Now here is my take on this. Hunting is not necessarily a bad thing, I hunted for sport for a number of years, but always ate my kills (I was mostly a bird hunter). And I don't think one should be banned from Facebook for posting such kills (more liberal overreaction). Having said that I never though killing these great beasts for trophy was a good or noble act. I have always felt that trophy hunting was unseemly, perhaps immoral.
The Texas cheerleader who sparked a social media firestorm after posting pictures with animals she shot and killed to Facebook is fighting back against critics who are petitioning the social media network to have her page removed.
Kendall Jones, a 19-year-old cheerleader at Texas Tech University, first drew controversy when she posted on Facebook photos of herself smiling next to wild animals like a lion, a rhino and a leopard that she says she hunted while in Africa.
The photos drew the ire of animal rights activists who created a petition June 22 asking Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to remove her page because it promotes animal cruelty. As of today, the petition has 121,788 of the 200,000 signatures it is seeking.
