Facebook Being Evil

They pull down pictures of a young girl lawfully hunting in Africa, but leave up the posts where people demand her death!

Facebook has allowed the “Kill Kendall Jones” community page to stay, despite deleting several of the Texas teen’s hunting photos for violating the social media network’s animal abuse policies.

Kendall Jones, a 19-year-old cheerleader and avid hunter, sparked outrage and admiration with online photos of her trophy kills.

Facebook deleted a series of photos that showed her posing with a variety of animals, including a leopard and a lion, that she had shot earlier this month on safari in Zimbabwe.

The pictures were said to break a rule about “graphic images shared for sadistic effect or to celebrate or glorify violence,” as outlined in this page on Facebook Community Standards, Mashable reported.

“We remove reported content that promotes poaching of endangered species, the sale of animals for organized fight or content that includes extreme acts of animal abuse,” a Facebook spokesperson told Mashable.

But Juneau Empire reporter Matt Woolbright noticed the stunning contradiction when he tried to report the “Kill Kendall Jones” community page, and Facebook said it didn’t violate their standards.

Now first let’s talk about big game hunting in Africa. I say “Hunting” and not “Poaching” because this young woman followed all the laws. Few hunters ever bag any of the Big Five in Africa, and this young woman is past most of some of the best hunters in the world right now. Most don’t do it because it is VERY expensive. Besides travel and equipment, the permits and fees, as well as hiring a guide is MONSTER money. Monster money to a part of the world where what we blow on dinner and drinks in one night might support an entire village for a week! You see big game hunting in Africa not only drives their economy, but it drives conservation of animals that have been in trouble for years.

The guides search out animals that should be culled for conservation, and money not only supports the people who make sure there will always be animals to hunt, but it helps pay for them to combat poachers which have no qualms of wiping these great animals off the face of the planet. Areas where Safari hunting happen are actually doing very well with conserving their populations, while areas with prohibition on hunting are struggling to keep the poachers at bay.

Now let’s look deeper into the evil of Facebook. The pages demanding this woman’s death have the VERY SAME PICTURES Facebook deleted as a “violation”. This is obviously selective enforcement of the rules by Facebook, and think about what they’re promoting!

They are admonishing a woman for traveling to another part of the world and engaging in a sport that helps people in that troubled nation alive, and promotes protection of the vary animals she killed, but they are SUPPORTING the people who want a woman who has done nothing wrong to die or be murdered!

Disgusting!
