The leader of a pro-hunting group in Utah said he has received death threats from animal rights advocates after voicing support for a hunter who posted a picture of herself earlier this month smiling next to the carcass of a male lion during a hunting trip to South Africa.
Jason Fackrell, the founder of Hunters Against PETA, told KSL.com that one comment said, “I wish to have some money to kill you myself.” Another comment, the station reported, talked about killing Melissa Bachman, the hunter who posted the picture.
Fackrell described the torment he faced. He said he had to move, had his contact information posted online by hackers and has seen family members threatened in the past.
He expressed his dismay that about “90 percent of the population eats meat, but it’s OK to threaten the life of a human being that kills an animal.”
He has not reported the recent threat to the FBI, the report said. But highlighted what he sees as a double standard.
“I’ve never seen hunters threaten the lives of animal rights activists because they don’t like hunting, so there definitely is a double standard.”
PETA responded to KSL.com’s report and said it opposes violence. The report noted that PETA is not connected to the alleged threats on Fackrell.
Meanwhile, more than 375,000 people signed a petition to ban Bachman, the host of “Winchester Deadly Passion,” from gaining entry again into South Africa.

““I’ve never seen hunters threaten the lives of animal rights activists because they don’t like hunting, so there definitely is a double standard.”
What a crock of SHITE! This guy has his head up his ass if he believes that hunters have never threatened animal rights activists.
I feel like smashing my head against a wall. I mean, seriously? Is he fucking kidding? What a tool!
Did you guys miss the article link on the page that could be filed under “Not poaching, probably a mistake, but couldn’t have been a hunter as it wasn’t a clean shot”?

Thanks, I did miss that. Another benefit of giving you the link to site like Fox news…
A friend of mine who is Anti Wolf hunting has been threatened too many times to count. Plus they have left dead animals on her car. Pro-hunting groups are worse than we are.
Far worse!
never threaten to kill .. always retain the element of surprise 😉
LOL! I like the way you think.
With a name like “Hunters against Peta”is’nt he asking to start trouble,without any reason ??
Yep, that’s clear to everyone but Fox News. And as if PETA has much of anything to do with anti-hunting.
Reblogged this on Sherlockian's Blog.
I don’t know the particulars of the lion she killed, but judging by the photo, it was a large, healthy male, and may well have had a pride. Given that possibility, the killer should also have put at least a few dead lion cubs and perhaps one or two young females into the photo, to more clearly illustrate the extent of her mayhem on lion society. Like all souvenir killers, she fails the empathy test, and is willfully ignorant about how her actions cause the death of more than the immediate victim.
I’m surprised that Jame “Buffalo Bill” Gumb hasn’t weighed in with a comment on the photo, “Nice rack! I want that for a trophy!”
