Pero Jelenic hit by a stray bullet while hunting big cats bred in captivity

Lydia Smith 2 hours ago



A trophy hunter was shot dead as he hunted lions bred in captivity in South Africa.

Pero Jelenic was struck by a stray bullet as he tracked on of the creatures near Setlagole, in the North West province.

Police spokesperson Charlize van der Linden told News24 that the 75-year-old hotelier from Croatia had already killed one lion and along with two other hunters, he was tracking another big cat when he was hit.

. . .

South Africa’s “canned” lion hunting industry is highly controversial. In canned hunts, cats raised in captivity are kept on private hunting reserves where they can be shot by hunters for a fee.

[gyroscope]

61. Excellent idea

[janterry]

12. A canned lion hunt

OMG. That's something people do??

[Neema]

45. I know, right? What kind of fucking monster gets his jollies doing this kind of thing?

I'm just sorry he was able to murder some beautiful animals before he was taken out. What a waste of skin.

[Marie Marie]

59. Now there is one less fucking monster.

Good!

[Neema]

87. Agree.

[MFM008]

62. Yes.

Animals raised in cages or on reserves.
Like shooting fish in a barrel.
They deserve what they get.

[Cold War Spook]

96. They do it in the US also.

Animals, birds and Democrats. Okay not Democrats.

[hopeforchange2008]

32. Thank you!

[Botany]

81. It is really old too

The meat would suck and not unless this was an imported animal
on a game ranch/hunting area the now dead d-bag took some really
high quality genetic material from the heard.

[hopeforchange2008]

90. Its horrible to see such a beautiful animal killed for this guys ego

[Ligyron]

Maybe there really IS a god?

24. Instant Karma....Eric and Donnie Jr must be due for a hunting trip soon

[Baitball Blogger]

25. Stray bullet?

Okay.

[PJMcK]

101. My thoughts exactly! (n/t)

[BlueIdaho]

27. I still say

Put all these thrill seekers in a 100 acre enclosure and let them hunt each other.

[dembotoz]

28. good to see dick chenney is still out and about

[True_Blue]

104. Lol!

[byronius]

30. Another demonic psychopath bites the dust.

Awesome.

[sinkingfeeling]

31. Now he knows how the lions felt. What a shame.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

33. Stray bullet, right.

He had enemies, or
some wildlife-loving activist stopped the hunt, or
most likely, some other hunter mistook him for a game animal.

Stray bullets almost never have such a fine sense of justice.

[jmowreader]

58. I'm betting on a fourth possibility

There were probably several canned hunts going on at the same time, and he got between another hunter and the lion that guy was trying to shoot.

You know they should mount his head and hang it on the wall in his hotel next to his trophies, with a plaque under the chin reading "he died doing what he loved."

[dewsgirl]

34. Good!

[red dog 1]

35. These "canned hunts" are for fucking cowards!

It's bad enough when these millionaire hunters go into the African jungle to kill lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos etc purely for "fun".& trophy collecting..but going into those fenced private "hunting reserves" to kill these magnificent animals is the ultimate form of cowardice imo.

there is a god I've ever seen.

43. It's only a "sport"

if sometimes you lose...

[awesomerwb1]

44. Will never understand this

Killing an innocent animal like these a-holes do.

[Neema]

46. Would someone just perfect penis enlargement pills or surgery already? It would save so many

innocent lives to let these guys finally be able to have the penis of their dreams.

[geardaddy]

73. This reply wins the thread!

[Neema]

86. I never win anything!

[Fullduplexxx]

47. Some much needed good news

[Vinca]

48. Big cats bred in captivity? They might as well be hunting dairy cows.

Idiots.

[bluedigger]

49. He should have bought the All Inclusive package like the other guy.

[saidsimplesimon]

50. Perhaps Dick Cheney

was included in the outing? This is not hunting for food, it is disgusting.

[crazycatlady]

[regnaD kciN]

51. What. A. Shame.

[SammyWinstonJack]

52. Ah, too bad. NOT!

[LanternWaste]

54. I'll never understand these dullards.

I'll never understand the dark entertainment these dullards get from killing sentient life.

Screwtape knows them much better than I.

a total ass-wipe will get what's coming to them.

[SunSeeker]

56. How is it a "hunt" when you are in essence shooting at fenced-in pets?

What a scumbag. If there is a hell, he's blistering in it.

[flying_wahini]

57. Hope it took a while to bleed out.

Won't go further but he did get his due.

[BobTheSubgenius]

60. Why go to the trouble and expense of wandering around on the veldt, then using a rifle?

Why not just get the owners of this unspeakably awful operation to stake the lion out for him, so he could then beat it to death with a hammer?

Sick fucks.

[homegirl]

63. This is how

Eric and Donald Jr. "hunt"!

[rownesheck]

64. Good.

One less bastard ass in the world.

[Jack-o-Lantern]

[iluvtennis]

67. No sympathy from me...don't believe in hunting animals.

My God that is wrong on so many levels!

91. Good riddance. nt

[liberalhistorian]

92. Boo fucking hoo.

What goes around comes around. Literally. Fuck him. How anyone could even consider "captivity" hunting, or any big game hunting, much less take gleeful pleasure out of it, is completely beyond my understanding. They are sick. Fuck him.

[Flaleftist]

93. Too bad it doesnt happen more often.

I have more sympathy for the squirrel I accidentally ran over a few months ago.

[flvegan]

94. I'm sorry for his family and loved ones.

Otherwise, my laughter cannot be contained. Enjoy hell, shitbag.

[Demsrule86]

95. I am just so sad that this pos died...all he wanted was a shoot fish in the barrel hunting

experience. Tsk, tsk...how er unfortunate. On a brighter note...many lions were undoubtedly saved.

[Marengo]

99. As a hunter myself, Ive never understood the...

Appeal of canned hunts. My hunting associates largely ridicule them as well.

[Owl]

100. Excellent!

[jrthin]

102. Oh, well. nt

[TlalocW]

103. I can understand hunting for food and making a trophy from the pelt, etc.

The trophies don't really do anything for me. I don't want a deer's head looking down at me while I'm watching television, but I've availed myself on the meat from my brother-in-law's hunts - deer bacon, bear burgers, etc.
