A man is facing serious backlash after proudly posting photos of his daughter taking a bite of warm deer heart as part of a hunting tradition.
On NZ Woman Hunters Facebook page, hunter Johnny posted a photo of his daughter, "little pink ninja princess Chloe", taking a bite of a deer heart straight from the chest of a deer she killed. This submission has been taken off Facebook.
Johnny submission states he is a proud dad and that his daughter successfully shot and killed a young stag using his shoulder as a leaning rest. It’s a tradition that is known in the hunting community, but not everyone partake in this "ritual".
Upon this submission NZ Woman Hunters page have had over 20,000 shares with comments filled with people criticizing Johnny’s parenting skills and referring both as "sadistics" and "psychopaths". Read the rest of the story here. So for you hunters and non-hunters what do you think of this response on Facebook?
Its too extreme for his daughter to take a bite out of a deer’s heart but if she wants to have an abortion, get a sex change or do drugs, hey, that’s just a matter of her choice . . . .
Seems kind of weird to me, with no genuine good reason for it — plus, we would not know without examining the carcass whether it’s infested with something. I’d be for keeping the meat and giblets (if they are called that) as clean as possible and using it for food later.
Is Hunting Ritual too Extreme?
Don’t tell them that their steak is a muscle from a cow cut in slices perpendicular to the muscle grain.
Dang. I just drooled on my keyboard.
I personally wouldn’t do it, or let my kids do it for fear of disease/parasites/deer TB.
All game that goes in my mouth is thoroughly cooked. It’s a safety thing...
Those nuggets are chicken?!? I thought they were harvested in the late summer from McNugget trees!
“Under the spreading McNugget tree the village smithy stands...”
If that’s too extreme, then being a Native American is too extreme.
Good grief!
Didn’t ISIS soldiers also eat the hearts of Syrian soldiers? May be it is the remnant throwback behavior from the old days.
Under the spreading McNugget tree, I sold you, and you sold me!
Hey, I proposed to my wife next to a Big Mac pond. People were pullin’ them out all day.
Is picking your nose and eating it too extreme a ritual?!
We eat pig’s feet, sweetbreads, tongue, Rock Mountain oysters, haggis, chopped liver and foie gras. Why is eating the heart so extreme?
This whole thread reminds me of a very old warning: If you really like sausage, it’s best that you don’t know how it’s made.
Deer liver is actually quite tasty. Tastes nothing like beef or pork liver.
BTW, that is not what I would ever require of my own daughter if/when I ever have one. But if she really wants to, then I’d be cool with it.
But if I had a son, by the time he’s seventeen he will have killed an animal. I would prefer he put down one that is already suffering and doomed, but hunting would be an option. Knowing in your heart that you can kill is necessary for being a true man.
In a thread a while ago, someone was making fun of the Chinese eating disgusting insects. So a poster posted pictures of a shrimp and a crab.
In our day they just painted some of the blood (mixed with a few other choice bits) onto the face of the lucky hunter and he had to wear it until after supper. If he shot and missed, they cut his shirt tail. No heart biting.
It hurts the deer, killing the unborn doesn’t
