And the thrill for that prick is breaking the rules, he knew. He wouldn't have even gone if it wasn't an opportunity to do something illegal.

Fucker pulled the trigger, he's guilty.

by “not knowing”.

But where there is a Trump, there’s a crime being committed.

For a Twitter post. All staged canned hunts. Repulsive sewer waste. The stench of this Trump family continues to permeate every aspect of the news cycle. 🤬😢

May those animals rest in peace and honor.

I put the odds of trumpette not knowing about the baiting at about 1000:1. And he'll probably get away with it, as usual.

is guilty of everything that is amoral or illegal. He just hasn't gone through all of them.....yet.

I need to take deep breaths every time I read of the horror he inflicts on our majestic animals.

I'm sure the Trump family will gladly pay for the finest lawyers to defend him.

It's not like hunting deer and eating what you killed. This type of hunting is like murder. It's killing just for killing sake. It makes weak men feel big and tough.

campaigning for 2016, photos were posted of Junior w/ a dead elephant (he was proudly grinning as he held the elephant's tail up to the camera) and Eric was pictured proudly wearing a dead leopard around his shoulders as if it was a mink stole. A friend of mine, a long-time hunter, said the background behind the Eric/leopard photo appeared to be a canned hunt location.

These guys think they're manly men, but they're cowards. And they know full well what they're doing because those hunts are very expensive. The "guide" has a history of hosting these hunts back to at least 2009.

The Utah Investigative Journalism Project in 2018 requested DNR files on those hunting trips back to 2009. They received files "EXCEPT for the case on the 2018 Trump Jr hunt."

Think more publicity should be given these hunts. Even Republican women I know would likely be outraged.

hoping the righteous avenging bear and cougar escape any consequences as they would be doing the world a big favor, IMO.
