Ricky Gervais Says Men and Women Who Hunt Animals Are “Equally Vile” After
Rebecca Francis Claims He’s Targeting Women
He’s just getting started. Ricky Gervais continued to slam hunters following his buzzed-about spat with Eye of the Hunter co-host Rebecca Francis. His new comments are in
“We need to stamp out this terrible sexism in the noble sport of trophy hunting,” he tweeted on Friday, April 17. “The men & women that do it are EQUALLY vile & worthless.” [except for the woman in the photo above–she hunts poachers.]
The British comedian-actor, 53, was appalled earlier this week when he saw a photo of Francis lying down – and smiling – next to a dead giraffe she just killed. “What must’ve happened to you in your life to make you want to kill a beautiful animal & then lie next to it smiling?” he wrote via Twitter on April 13.
Francis began to receive death threats following Gervais’ post, which has garnered over 30,000 retweets. On April 14, Francis released a statement saying she preserved the animal by providing locals with its meat. On Friday, she gave a second statement to Hunting Life.
“Ricky Gervais has used his power and influence to specifically target women in the hunting industry and has sparked thousands of people to call for my death, the death of my family and many other women who hunt,” she said, via The Telegraph. “This has evolved into an issue about the morality of threatening human lives over disagreeing with someone else’s beliefs. It shocks me that people who claim to be so loving and caring for animals can turn around and threaten to murder and rape my children.”

Gervais, however, doesn’t seem to be backing down. He’s continued to show his love for animals all week. “Enjoy the lovely weather and don’t leave your dog in the car. Have a great day,” he tweeted on April 17. On Friday, he gushed about his adorable “furry bagpipe” cats and snapped a selfie with his “new duck friends” near a lake.

Exposing the Big Game 
Hunters are ugly no matter who is shooting.
Ah Feminism. Where “Equal Rights” for females means holding females on a pedistal while vilifying males. Don’t get me wrong I am all for gender equality, but equality means no special treatment or free passes. Ricky Gervais is giving her equality, to do otherwise would be unfair.
Yes, by all means let’s pull-out the gender card and accuse anyone criticizing women hunters of being sexist. Thank god Francis wasn’t also black!
But there IS something uniquely, and appallingly, perverse about women sport hunters. While we’ve come to expect, almost as a matter of course, the most egregiously cruel and brutal behavior from men, women have always seemed to me to inhabit a loftier position. Tenderness, tolerance, nurturing, maternalism, sympathy, humility and unselfishness have always been more feminine virtues than masculine. So, it is disconcerting to see so many women presently coming forth to show-off their masculine-brutalistic bona fides. And even more disgusting to see “feminists” defending them and praising their gender-bending proclivities. It all might just be ascribable to some laughably perverted form of penis-envy were the ultimate effects (dead animals) not so tragic. Regardless of the motivation, serial killers (which includes sport hunters) of whatever gender or stripe deserve a good deal more than just death THREATS.
Oh so well said Geoff-It has seemed to me that feminists despise that tenderness, nurturing and sympathy in women as weakness. And we lose so much when we emulate men in that way. As you put it so eloquently…show off the masculine brutalistic bona fides. Women hunters are anathema-yes they are most especially appalling.
