Eva Shockey responds to critics of bear hunt

Famous hunter is harshly criticized by animal lovers after killing 510-pound bear and posting the photo on Facebook; story gains mainstream attention

Eva Shockey knew she was placing herself in the crosshairs of anti-hunters before she posted a photo of herself posing with a 510-pound bear she killed last week to her Facebook page.

The famous co-host of “Jim Shockey’s Hunting Adventures” told Field and Stream:

“My dad warned me before I even got involved with the show that I was going to have to deal with anti-hunters. I’m a huge target for them because I’m a smiley young woman, and I’m different than who they’re used to dealing with.”

But Shockey, 26, had no idea the flood of venomous comments would be so extensive, or that the story of her hunt and its aftermath would gain national attention in the mainstream news.

She killed the bear, the largest she had ever harvested, on the fifth day of a hunt with her father in Hyde County, North Carolina. Bears are responsible for extensive crop damage in the region, she explained on Facebook, and hunting helps control the bear population.

But this was such an impressive animal, and the photo was bound to attract lots of attention. Critics found their way onto Shockey’s fan page by the hundreds, and opened with both barrels. She spent most of the day removing the harshest comments “so other people don’t have to read them.”

Shockey told The Blaze that one commenter, in reference to a Facebook photo of her posing with her dog, stated that she “should kill that worthless dog you have instead.”

The hunter’s response: “Apparently hunting a bear, eating/donating all of the meat, and putting money towards conservation is a bad thing, but killing my puppy is OK. If this logic isn’t totally insane, I don’t know what is.”

The story—the dog comment in particular—caught the attention of mainstream news networks, such as ABC News and Fox News.

During an interview with Fox News on Monday, the anchor described the dog comment as “pretty sick stuff.”

Said Shockey: “It is sick, I agree with you, but unfortunately we actually have to deal with that quite a lot. … I’ve never had someone tell me to kill my puppy before, but comments like this … they definitely happen to us.”

Shockey has been posting the news reports to her fan page, which has more than 657,000 likes.

Part of the bio on her page reads: “With a combined passion for conservation and adventure, I try to balance hunting, femininity, and family into what I consider to be the best lifestyle in the world.”

Shockey told The Blaze that one commenter, in reference to a Facebook photo of her posing with her dog, stated that she “should kill that worthless dog you have instead.”

There's a couple of folks in Virginia who can help with that:

PETA reportedly stole a family's pet chihuahua from their porch, and killed it.

You heard that right. Yes, we're talking about that PETA: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The theft was caught on video, and has been reported by WAVY.com, local media in Accomack County, Virginia.

County Sheriff Todd Godwin insists that he charged the two PETA workers with larceny. The prosecutor has apparently refused to pursue the case, however, citing insufficient evidence of "criminal intent."

Let's try to comprehend this: we have a home surveillance video clearly demonstrating that a van marked "PETA" pulled up to the house of Wilbur Cerate, and that someone took the family's chihuahua, Maya. PETA has reportedly admitted that Maya was killed: they arrived later with a basket of fruit as compensation, says Maya's owner. (For some bizarre reason, PETA thinks that a nice basket of food makes killing pets okay.)

Hence, we have what we are told is pretty strong evidence that a crime was committed. An admission of guilt has been alleged. What part of the notion "criminal intent" am I missing here?
We also seem to have powerful evidence that the girl who owned Maya is inconsolable. The New York Daily News reports:

The Mexican immigrant said the tiny dog had been the only thing that cheered his daughter, who was having difficulty adjusting to her new country.

PETA has refused to comment. Local reporter Anita Blanton has tried valiantly to elicit a statement from PETA headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, and has thus far had no luck.

Why did she need to kill the bear? There's no sport or skill in shooting a defenseless animal from a distance with a high powered rifle. You cannot eat bear.

The woman is a piece of shit.

[Lord Jim]

You cannot eat bear.

Sure you can; "recipes for bear meat" (in quotes) brings up over 7000 Google results:

I had bear meat stew once; it was quite tasty...

It's not really all that uncommon in North America; you won't find it at the Safeway, but it's easy enough to order in many different varieties (except of course here in The Altered State):

And using it for food is what was done in this case:

The hunter’s response: “Apparently hunting a bear, eating/donating all of the meat,

Bear Meat is common in many parts of the world, especially northern regions of Canada, Alaska, Russia, and Scandinavia, where it is a common dish in fine restaurants in Helsinki, Finland. Bear meat is sweeter than beef or horse due to the wild bear’s consumption of berries. It is somewhat comparable to pork in flavour. Bear is often hunted and eaten by hunters but it can be purchased as meat and also in restaurants.

[Gob]

Ok, I stand corrected.

She's still a piece of shit though

[MajGenl.Meade]

As if you wouldn't....

[liberty]

Now be honest Gob, old mate, have you ever seen shit that pretty? Don’t you agree that if a woman is pretty enough she can’t do wrong. And all the feminist here should support her as a strong self- sufficient woman that can do anything a man can.

You’re a bad influence on me Gob.

She killed the bear, the largest she had ever harvested, on the fifth day of a hunt with her father in Hyde County, North Carolina. Bears are responsible for extensive crop damage in the region, she explained on Facebook, and hunting helps control the bear population.

So Gob, how'd you feel about organized deer shoots in Ohio (marksmen controlling the population) and my friend Bob sitting in a tree on my property from 4.m. until 8.a.m enticing deer in with corn and odor stuff so he could get a crossbow quarrel into 'em?

Is morality measured by how much of a thing one can eat? Foie gras? Veal? Cows? They aren't defenseless animals after all.... all those claws and teeth, it's a wonder I've ever managed to eat a burger without some farm hand being savaged to death by Old Bossy.

I think the "endangered" tag is more significant when considering the rights and wrongs of hunting. I don't hunt, so no particular axe to grind. So I'll join in condemning "canned" lion hunts in Africa - the slaughter of rhinos for the horn - elephants for tusks. But for the life of me, I can't condemn this lady for taking part in a legal, sanctioned activity. And I'd guess nor would the kind of mopes who think TV series about 'gator hunting are just fine and dandy

I see Oz is 103 for 0 (or 0 for 103 as you silly people put it). Finch and Warner - tough outs!

Not to mention all the 'Roo "culling" that goes on You-Know-Where...

[rubato]

Bear will overpopulate without hunting to control them. They are a destructive and dangerous pest species. I'm glad we have people who will actually pay for the privilege and thus subsidize the costs of keeping track of bear numbers.

What the hell does guity mean?????

What does the question mean? Did she with premeditation and with malice of pre- thought assault and kill a bear citizen of the United States. Not to mention the inter- species cannibalism that occurred later.

[Joe Guy]

She would not be found guilty because she would claim that she has the right to bear arms...

[MajGenl.Meade]

Uh lib. That's malice aforethought I believe. Bears ain't citizens and cannibalism by definition cannot occur between different species, I think you'll find

Cannibalism (from Caníbales, the Spanish name for the Caribs, a West Indies tribe that formerly practiced cannibalism) is the act or practice of humans eating the flesh or internal organs of other human beings. It is also called anthropophagy

[Joe Guy]

liberty, I'm sure that you are guilty of many counts of inter-species cannibalism. You better hope the Cannibal Police aren't looking for you.

[MajGenl.Meade]

I've smoked cannibal resin...

Cannibalism (from Caníbales, the Spanish name for the Caribs, a West Indies tribe that formerly practiced cannibalism) is the act or practice of humans eating the flesh or internal organs of other human beings. It is also called anthropophagy

That is regular cannibalism; we are talking about inter-species cannibalism. Think about it, if you eat a salad are you not eating a fellow earthling? It could perhaps be your very very very very distant cousin.

I'm surprised no comment about baiting bears with day old jelly donuts in dear old Maine . . .
