In the recent few years, humans have not only managed to disrupt the habitats of multiple animal species, but we have also completely wiped out some of them.
Day by day their numbers are declining and more and more animals are living with the constant threat to their existence.
While deforestation is sure a concern, one of the biggest reasons certain animals are endangered is because hunting is still a thing and people find pleasure in butchering innocent animals.
There’s apparently a sense of ‘pride’ in hiding and shooting animals from a distance which I’ll never understand. Pathetic losers.
A wealthy businessman from Georgia has made headlines for shooting and killing two baby elephants along with his hunting partner because when you’re rich, you can get away with anything, right? Not really.
Mike Jines, who is a partner of TopGen Energy, is now receiving major backlash after the pictures of his hunt went viral on the internet. In the photos, two dead elephants can be seen along with Mike and his friend.
With their guns on their shoulder, the two men can be seen smiling in pride and posing for snaps while the poor dead animals lay lifeless on the ground with blood oozing out of their bodies.
The gruesome photos were first uploaded on Facebook by user Darrell Eisman.
“Apologies for the disturbing photo,” he wrote along with the photos.
“If you’re really upset by what you see, then make this go viral along with an email letting Mike Jines know what you think [sic].”
The post immediately went viral and received crazy interactions. Darrell’s post was shared almost 100k times and people didn’t hesitate to let Mike know the kind of person he is and how ashamed he should be of his acts.
According to CBS, Mike is receiving so much hate that it has started to affect his business. Jines, however, is claiming that he and his partner only shot the elephants because they were ‘charging’ towards them. It was self-defense.
He is “making sure people understand the actual facts as opposed to the mischaracterization on social media.”
In a statement, Jines said, “The two elephants that are shown in the photos were shot in self-defense in an unprovoked charge.
Both elephants were fully mature cows, not juveniles.”
He is also stating that the hunt was carried out lawfully in a designated safari area in Zimbabwe. Sadly, hunting is still legal in parts of the world.
Jines previously wrote about the incident in a hunting forum, “the hunt started with a bang . . . literally.
Less than thirty minutes into the first morning of the first day we experienced a double elephant cow charge.
This was obviously a first for me but it turns out it was a first for Buzz as well. We saw a group of cows from the road and decided to follow them to see if a tuskless was in the group.
We caught them quickly and identified a tuskless. We positioned ourselves to get a good look at the tuskless and concluded that since it was just Day 1 we would pass.”
“An instant later she came in an all-out charge. Buzz and I both fired two shots a piece and she went down. Then from behind us, a large one-tusked cow charged at full speed.
We each fired one shot and she crashed to the ground with her hind legs out behind her, indicating the speed and determination of her charge. The two cows were less than forty feet apart with Buzz and I in the middle.
Fortunately, we had positioned ourselves in some open ground so we had good visibility when the charges came. Certainly, a little more excitement than we had bargained for on Day 1,” he adds but people are calling BS on his claims.
It’s disgusting.

People are taking to their social media to express their rage. “It is such a sad situation, that these barbaric men can kill these beautiful animals and get away with it!” commented a user.
“That is not a trophy. You have nothing to be proud of. NOTHING! How disgraceful and disgusting and low life to do this. You didn’t give this baby life and you sure have no right to take it away. I pity you for you indeed reap what you sow,” commented another.
#topgenenergy needs to die a quick death just like the 2 defenseless elephants these sociopaths killed. Those were babies that belonged to a mother. Those mother elephants are grieving their deaths. These men are like cancer on the planet.

Mike has been receiving death threats and he also has something to say in return.
“While I can appreciate that hunting can be polarizing and that views on hunting can vary materially, I am sure that you can appreciate what it is like to deal with the vitriol particularly when the underlying information in this case is inaccurate.”
It is outrageous how animal murderers get away with killing poor beings and then later justify it in the name of trophy killing. Our world is a sad, sad place.

"This event wasn't about fixing the healthcare system. It was about protecting the healthcare industry, no matter the cost to patients, families, workers, or employers. The industry is the root cause of our healthcare crisis."
As nurses, doctors, and ordinary Americans ramped up their nationwide effort to build support for Medicare for All at the grassroots level and in Congress, staffers for some of America's top Democratic lawmakers reportedly attended a "luxury" retreathosted by corporate lobbyists working to undermine the growing push for single-payer.
According to The Intercept's Lee Fang, who first reported on the swanky gathering on Saturday, "around four dozen senior congressional staffers decamped for a weekend of relaxation and discussion at Salamander Resort & Spa" on April 5-7 in Middleburg, Virginia.
Hosted by the group Center Forward—whose board, Fang noted, "is made up almost entirely of registered corporate lobbyists"—the retreat was attended by the chiefs of staff for House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), as well as many other staffers for centrist Democrats and Republicans.
Wendell Potter, an insurance industry executive-turned-whistleblower, told The Intercept that any "congressional staffer serious about finding solutions wouldn't touch that retreat with a 10-foot pole."
The gathering, Fang reported, "featured a lecture from industry lobbyists leading the charge on undermining progressive healthcare proposals. Center Forward was originally known as the Blue Dog Research Forum, a think tank affiliated with the conservative Blue Dog Coalition of House Democrats; the coalition has pressed the caucus to oppose social welfare spending, taxes on the wealthy, and regulations on business."
"Center Forward's big idea on Medicare Part D, for instance, is to maintain lobbyist-authored provisions of the law that bar the government from bargaining for lower prices for medicine," wrote Fang. "Such restrictions cost taxpayers and patients as much as $73 billion a year while boosting the profits of drugmakers."
Fang continued:
The schedule shows that the health care discussion was led by Center Forward board member Liz Greer, a lobbyist at Forbes Tate; the firm manages the Partnership for America's Health Care Future coalition designed to undermine Medicare for All. Paul Kidwell, a lobbyist from the Federation of American Hospitals, and Larry Levitt, from the Kaiser Family Foundation, also spoke. No proponents of Medicare for All were included.
News of the luxury retreat comes around two weeks after Medicare for All received its first-ever congressional hearing before the House Rules Committee, which single-payer proponents hailed as a historic moment in the fight for a just healthcare system.
With comprehensive Medicare for All bills now introduced in both the House and Senate, the insurance and pharmaceutical industries have intensified their campaigns against single-payer, launching misleading attacks in the media and working to stop Medicare for All behind the scenes.
According to Sludge, healthcare industry lobbyists have increased their donations to the DCCC—House Democrats' campaign arm—as progressive lawmakers work to expand support for Medicare for All within the Democratic Party.
Potter—who is now president of the Business Initiative for Health Policy, which supports Medicare for All—told The Intercept that the Virginia retreat was part of the ongoing campaign by private healthcare interests to stop the momentum of single-payer, which poses a major threat to industry profits.
"This event wasn't about fixing the healthcare system. It was about protecting the healthcare industry, no matter the cost to patients, families, workers, or employers," said Potter. "The industry is the root cause of our healthcare crisis."

Exposing treason in America
Your tax dollars at work paying Israel to mass murder the innocents. The orphan children who survive, will then be abused by Israel's "most moral army in the world" that likes to torture, imprison and terrorize gentile children
