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.
These guys breached a kind of unwritten code of conduct that has also upset many in the hunting community.

You see... This is what happens when people worship false gods and practice false religions; their ancestors end up dying multiple times.
The other white meat.
Some people have a vast self important capacity to declare a wide variety or ordinary things wrong for the primary purpose of elevating themselves in their own eyes.

Zact Mundo again!!!!
Don’t take offense or personally.
We don’t.
We have a difference of ideals.
If we we’re there we are questioning our ability to take a rarity.
Doesn’t mean that taking that rarity would result in an education for others.
I would leave that poor thing for someone else....unless I wuz drunk and being egg’d on by buddies..
Ping to 142. Didn’t see that you got there first.
Fine, love your guns all you want, but do not inject your values on these legal hunters. An albino anything is not a valuable specimen of the specie, rather it is an aberration that will not likely pass on its genes to the population- there is a reason why white Moose are not at the top of the game....
Also, since you are a non-hunter voicing anti-hunting opinions, you offend many more than see the same point of view.
Sounds like a democrat mentality to me. Hypocritical.
I don’t care if you do not hunt, but leave others legal and moral choices alone, okay?
I was thinking the same thing. If it died and was eaten by scavengers, there wouldn't be anything left.
Agree. These assholes give the gun grabbers another reason to take all guns.
Are you telling me that you would shoot pink ponies?! You sicken me!
I confess that they do taste pretty good (a hint of skittles with a slight apple pie finish. A la mode.)
"Hey Bob, instead of shooting this moose why don't we capture it instead? We could make a load of cash by exhibiting it to tourists!"
"How? It's 300 yards away, and we don't have tranquilizer guns."
"Just Google it! Do I have to think of everything?"
“There’s a white squirrel that’s lived in my neighborhood for three years, which is a long time for a squirrel even without it being really obvious to predators. It would tick me off if someone decided to shoot it.”
There’s a few colonies of white squirrels protected by city ordinances near where my parents live.
Do you know anything about rifles?
It was a legal hunt.
Deal with it...and educate yourself.
What makes you think you have the right to hunt rare species? You sound almost as arrogant as obozo.
Wow! That should be award winning photography (if it isn’t, already.)
I’m not a hunter, but used to produce a hunting TV series for VERSUS. It was my ironic job to be sure that the stalk, shots, kill, and trophy were all legal. Personally, I’d love to see the albino captured and moved to a national park - but I’d support the kill as it was and then bring out the educational points in the episode that have been brought out by other sportsmen here. I’d especially highlight the aspect of using semi automatics. There’s nothing worse than missing a kill shot with one bullet - and then having to try to find the wounded game all day - rather than if two or three shots can hit the quarter heart target.
’ve seen half a dozen at least—almost got one with my van one night a few years back. Missed its back end by about a foot.
I would respect these people much more if they played the role of bail bondsman and went into the inner cities to get the worst criminals off the streets.
Hunting large animals once too some courage. No more.
LOL!
That is a stupid hyperbole, no just plain stupid. You know nothing about my hunting ethic. FYI, albinism is a defect not a desired characteristic.
Ethical hunters do more to care for animals than any bamboo shoot eater you know. You probably have the same mentality about protecting the land from farmers/ranchers when in fact farmers/ranchers, like hunters, take better care of their assets than you loafer types since that is how they make their living (or harvest food/recreate in the case of hunters).
