Female hunter and former beauty queen says her hunting hobby helps to save animals
This 41-year-old former beauty queen turned game hunter receives death threats when stating that she is saving the animals with her hobby.
Olivia Opre, trophy hunter has a large fan base in the negative sense. Her hobby has caused a lot of public to lash out at her and for good reason.
Follow us on Twitter @amomama_usa to see her live interview and hear what the public think of her game hunting hobby.
Olivia agreed to make an appearance on ITV's This Morning and this interview soon turned into a battleground online.
Watch the interview below that turned into what is known to be one of the worst and best interviews online.
She said: ‘I think what it is, it's bringing me to a place where I get to be a part of these wild places. And amongst the people of these areas, it’s the adventure, it’s the pursuit.
‘It’s something that pushes you to a limit you are not comfortable with and it takes you out of your comfort zone and for me hunting is just being in the wild.'
“What a f***ing idiot!” one person wrote of killing an animal that is of an endangered species. Another said, “they deserve the same fate as those animals.”
Opre stated in her defense after receiving death threats, she states that hunters have legal rites to hunt and that they are contributing to the conservation.
“Yes, the lion and the lioness I did shoot,” she said of the most prominent animals on display, before explaining that she’s hunted about 100 species throughout six continents. “It’s bringing me to a place where I get to be a part of these wild places and amongst the people of these areas and it’s the adventure.
After David Bonnouvrier, co-founder of KnotMyPlanet got hold of her pictures, he posted it online and the media went absolutely ballistic!
As a mother of four, you'd think that her morels and responsibilities would be set to certain standards that abide by the law of "live and let live". Senseless killing does not come into play with that law.
Olivia explained to the horrified presenters that she traveled the world in search of these endangered species she was eager to kill.
Here is a similar story that entails a 12-year-old girl who is encouraged to follow their parent's footsteps in the hunting game.
Perhaps we can try to understand what goes through the minds of these game hunters and why on earth they feel the need to kill innocent animals. Here is a deeper look inside the mind of the trophy hunter and the logic they feel drives them into hunting.
