These moronic hunters actually shot and killed a rare albino moose [View all]

My, don't they look proud. But after shooting this rare albino moose near Belle Cote in Nova Scotia last week — and posting the pics to social media — the trio has sparked considerable outrage, particularly among the region's Mi'kmaq indigenous community.

This moose was known to the local Mi'kmaq people for years, but they refrained from killing it because they consider all white animals to be sacred — what they call a "spirit animal." Even hunters, aside from these clowns, don't shoot albino animals for fear that it'll bring bad luck — and despite the fact that it's not illegal. These guys breached a kind of unwritten code of conduct that has also upset many in the hunting community.

the pics at the link will break your heart. Many years ago I had the great good fortune to see a huge albino moose. One of the most breath taking sights you can imagine. Anyway, hunting moose is no sport at all. they just stand there.
