Activists Want Texas Cheerleader Off Facebook
Huntress becomes hunted as exotic-game photos infuriate animal lovers.

JULY 2, 2014

Kendall Jones may seem like the typical Texas cheerleader. But photos of the smiling, blonde nineteen-year-old are causing furious comments and even death threats.

The Texas Tech University sophomore recently posted hunting photos on her Facebook page, and the shots of her posing next to the carcasses of exotic animals in Africa are attracting more hate than Likes. Her hunting trophies include lions, rhinos, leopards, and hippos, and some of the pictures are disturbing. At least two petitions demand that her page be removed from Facebook, and another petition on Change.org calls for Jones to be banned from Africa.

Jones first became interested in hunting when she visited Africa at age nine, and then shot her first animal, a white rhino, four years later, according to her bio on her Facebook page.

Many of the animals she hunts are endangered, which angers animal rights activists worldwide. One of the petitions demands Jones’s page be removed from Facebook “for the sake of all animals, especially in the African region . . . where hunters are going for fun just to kill an animal.” It had received more 120,000 signatures as of Wednesday morning. “It seems Facebook is not concerned about what Kendall Jones is promoting in her page,” the petition writes.

Jones argues that her hunting helps conservation efforts and gives support to the African communities where she hunts.

“Controlling the male lion population is important within large fenced areas like these,” Jones writes on her page. “Funds from a hunt like this goes partially to the government for permits but also to the farm owner as an incentive to keep and raise lions on their property.”

She adds that not all of the animals she poses with are actually dead. On the caption of a photo of the cheerleader next to the endangered white rhino, she explained that she had helped to tranquilize the animal so that it could receive veterinary attention. “I felt very lucky to be part of such a great program and procedure that helps the White Rhino population through conservation,’ she wrote.

Her Facebook page also says she plans to host a television show in 2015.

Change.org’s petition to deny Jones access to African nations has 30,000 signatures. “Kendall Jones is an American born hunter who has entered the continent and has been hunting African wildlife under the facade of conservation,” is explains, adding that she “is using endangered and helpless African animals as a stepping [stone] to further her popularity on social media platforms.”

Though some comments on her photos urge her diplomatically to stop hunting endangered animals, some take a more direct approach. “I’d love to drop kick you into a lions’ den, see how you do without your gun,” one commenter noted.

Jones has not let the insults and threats stop her, though. “I just want to thank all the haters for making such a big deal with your uneducated comments,” she wrote in response to the comments. “Due to the popularity, I’ve got over 200 new likes in the past 2 hours!”
 
I have a buddy from "back home" who goes on a hunting trip every year to Africa. He then posts pictures on FB of the dead animals he shot.

Last year I defriended him because I didn't want to see dead animals. He asked why I defriended him and I said, because I didn't want to see dead animals. Man O Man what a can of worms that opened up. I got hate notes and and called a pinko commie fag and everything... and that was just from my mom! I got lessons on how much he pays the village to go shot a lion, and that the village gets the meat.... it was quite the brew-ha-ha.

All because I didn't want to see dead animals.


I didn't even mention that he could have shot the animals with a camera and still given the village the money.

Pinko fag.

Culling creates healthier herds.

It also seems to create fearless deer that come right up to my back door to eat out of my gardens.

WTF!!!

Unfortunately it looks like her strategy is working.

There should be a special circle in hell for people like these.

The populations need to be controlled and as noted, she is working with, not against, the local conservation authorities. It's the fucking muzzies that are poaching Ivory to buy more weapons that is the real problem.

Ignorance is bliss.

Lions aren't an endangered species. And the White Rhino was only tranqued. Further the White Rhino isn't an endangered specie, it's on the 'near threatened' list.

There is NO factual evidence in the article that she hunted ANY endangered species.

She probably already has job lined up at Fox after she graduates.

Also Black Rhino (a truly endangered specie) horns. The Islamic royalty are in a bidding war with the Chinese for those horns. The Muslims use them to make handles for their ceremonial daggers and the Chinese use them to make homeopathic aphrodisiacs.

I have no problem with hunting, if you steer clear of threatened and endangered species and eat what you kill. I regularly hunted deer with my father as a youth.

This is not the case here.

This young woman is hunting for sport, not sustenance. Trophies, not food. The justification that the carcasses feed natives is laughable. If she were actually interested in charity toward the native populations, the money spent on her trophy hunts could feed more of them for a much longer period of time.

A little education goes a long way...

Working with the locals doesn't mean she's helping. I've seen plenty of authorities look the other way just for some tourist moolah on all kinds of illegal activities.

I have no idea what kind of lion she hunted but that pic is... infuriating.

I'm no animal lover but killing animals for sport is something I find offensive.

So, emotion trumps logic and you'd prefer to just make stuff up to justify your outrage over a picture...

:eek:

... all locals are on the take. Fucking third world...

It has been proven that if you do not hunt them and cull them that they suffer greatly from lack of game and then that sets the stage for disease and that set of conditions are far worse than the taking of a few trophies.
