” ... unprovoked attack .... “

—

I don’t know all the details but if you’re in the animal’s space, you’re threatening to the animal. Sort of like if a lion is in their space.

Had a chance to go on one of those hunts while living in Tanzania. I think I was 20 or so, and said “no thanks”.

“...a sudden and unprovoked attack”

Maybe the buffalo didn’t want to be killed and have its head hung on a wall somewhere. That hardly counts as “unprovoked.”

It’s not the kill, it’s the thrill of the chase.

the buffalo is regarded as the most dangerous animal to pursue in Africa, let alone the world

Did he invert the normal order of the expression?

Regardless the wording of the announcement, he took on a dangerous hunt and was killed. Not sure what people think is funny.
On the internet, every liberal idiot is cheering his death.

I love the “sudden and unprovoked attack”! Cape Buffaloes are well known for their size, their ferocity, and for their resistance to gunfire.

Not like hunting cattle -

Sounds like this “hunter” wasn’t up to this hunt.

Sometimes you get the buffalo and sometimes you get buffaloed!

Big game hunting is a dangerous sport!

You’re tracking and animal. Unprovoked attack is an asinine statement at best but it is NPR.
