but seriously, this is a horrific story, worthy of front page news. hunting for sport? I hope anyone involved is locked up forever.

I heard a story about a slave ship in the 18th century, where most of the slaves died of all sorts of illnesses on board. So the owner in mid shipment, decided he wanted to declare a 100% loss on his cargo of people he was transporting. He ended up throwing the few living with all the dead, out into the middle of the sea. One crewman reported that women and children were flailing in the waves before drowning.

So people have sucked for a very long time!

The Zong massacre was a mass killing of more than 130 enslaved African people by the crew of the British slave ship Zong over several days from 29 November 1781.[a] The William Gregson slave-trading syndicate, based in Liverpool, owned the ship as part of the Atlantic slave trade. As was common business practice, they had taken out insurance on the lives of the enslaved Africans as cargo. According to the crew, when the ship ran low on drinking water after a series of navigational errors, the crew threw enslaved Africans overboard.

After the slaver ship reached port at Black River, Jamaica, Zong's owners made a claim to their insurers for the loss of the enslaved Africans. When the insurers refused to pay, the resulting court cases (Gregson v Gilbert (1783) 3 Doug. KB 232) held that in some circumstances, the murder of enslaved Africans was legal and that insurers could be required to pay for those who had died. The jury found for the slavers but at a subsequent appeal hearing the judges, led by Lord Chief Justice, the Earl of Mansfield, ruled against the slave-trading syndicate owners, on the grounds that new evidence suggested that the captain and crew were at fault.

By the way, Hurricane Melissa just destroyed the town of Blackriver which was so wealthy back then that the town was the first place in Jamaica to have electricity.
Have to wonder if the insurance money made that possible.

in the movie Armistad (1997).

Who knows how many other slave ship owners resorted to this, while transporting slaves?
We may never know.

Lots of enslaved people were murdered - period

I'm a reclusive type.

Though I've catless for several years. Until I moved I had ready access to several cats to enjoy but now I have none, yet. There are two longhaired torties at the other end of the building who leave tracks on my car, I feel accepted. But I'm moving on to a new place in a few weeks so I will have to figure something out.

I don't doubt there were wealthy gun nuts from the U.S. who participated as well.

Uday and Kusay and some of their buddies?

They were called Blackwater or whatever Eric Prince renamed them (they've gone through several iterations since), Now they're just ICE

ie not someone who might have said "I am joining Bosnian Serbs in trying to murder Sarajevans, because I'm on the Serb side".

But it's just as likely she was one of their customers (perhaps as a guest of a political donor.)

Still, who is Hell for, if not these people?

I guess War Crimes tribunals are the closest to justice we'll get on Earth.

Only $1,000,000 — must be paid in advance.

Bad enough when it’s old lions. Unforgivable that people are the target.

Over under is 2.5 and I'd bet the over.

.. is that Don Jr wasn't involved. Too busy grifting & taking drugs. A few years ago he for sure would have been there.

He wasn't? Just asking because I would almost be willing to bet that went there.

I know a Chicago cop who has talked about retired coworkers/friends working in some African country (I forget which one) shooting poachers. And they ain’t exactly environmentalists.

I have no words. I am too heartsick.

Please let it not be true.

Italian prosecutors will essentially investigate anything if it gets their names in the Corriere della Sera.

So, I'm leaning towards "It's probably bullshit."

Except no one was actually shot by him because his aim is so wicked bad.

DOGE illegal cuts of Congress's approved USAID funds.

Starved to death is even worst than shot dead instantly.

Don Jr. would be right up front - I doubt wild animals are doing it for him any more. How much more entertaining it would be to shoot a roofer right off the roof he's working on, or take out a nanny walking a kid to kindergarten!

... but if someone does get shot, that's no biggie.

one step at a time for them

To which humanity are unable to sink.

Happening in Sudan now?

Out them now. Sick.

How are people that depraved?

Read up on the things that occur during genocides and wartime.

How many were also Epstein clients?????
And many own America right now. And media, courts, Congress and senate, and are untouchable.
How Jesus taught us to accept. (:sarcasm
