Full Metal Jacket actor R. Lee Ermey poses in Facebook pictures with lions he shot
A Hollywood actor has been branded a “disgusting killer” after being pictured proudly with two dead lions.
Former marine R. Lee Ermey, who is best known for his role as sadistic Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann in Full Metal Jacket, apparently posted the disturbing pictures on his Facebook profile.
Dr Kat said there is a lucrative hunting tourism trade in South Africa, which is one of the only places in the world where it is legal to kill lions.
Some hunts use animals bred in captivity that are released by firms for paying customers to shoot, he said.
Speaking to The Independent, Dr Kat said: “It’s not hunting. You’re not tracking these animals through the savannah or anything like that, there’s no skill involved.
“It’s about as difficult as shooting a cow in a field – it’s just an ego trip.
“It’s not hunting, it’s just killing.”
Because the animals are used to human contact, they are easier to catch than wild animals, he added.
The campaigner said: “You can even choose what lion you want to kill beforehand from pictures, like a menu.”
Can't stand people like this, need to feel big by killing something you would stand no chance against, beat it hand to hand then we'll talk, ******.
