I just dont see why anyone would want to make their 12 year old daughter a public figure unless that was the end goal.

If you want the 5K or 50K or 500K followers one should be prepared for a barrage of anti hunting post.

I would never post a lion picture on any public forum. Cause an anti hunting advocate using your lion photo can turn you into a public figure. No one cares about me next to a dead buffalo.

And all these hunting public figures with thousands of followers are selling stuff to the hunting world. The anti hunting stuff bounces of them professionally.

There is a strong possibility that another adventurous young lady might soon get trashed.

Its one thing when an adult gets piled on by the ignorant public but minors in and barely in their teens can at times have negative pschological repercussions.

I guess I see things differently... I have no issue with the young lady posting her hard won trophies and being proud of them. I have a serious problem with the Facebook management team letting a minor child be subject to such horrible invectives and threats. Says a lot about the company in my opinion when they let a child be savaged like that...

No shit.

But liberals take up a lot of causes... like bullying for example. This is a prime case where they look the other way. Hypocrites.

It makes them really mad when they see a pretty young girl standing next to her african trophies.
They don't want to accept that nearly all the wildlife is found on protected hunting areas and all other wildlife elsewhere has disappeared.Instead of giving credit to hunters they want to stop hunting so all the wildlife is gone.
It is like you having the only bank account with money in it and they believe it's theirs.
They must really hate their lives.

These kids have grown up with FB. This isn't the first online attack this 12 yr old has been made aware of, if not dealt with. Honestly don't have a FB presence but everyone, literally, I know does. The sky falls once a week over some post. Gossip has an HQ and it's FB.

Absolutely. Some of these facebook/twitter post "events" especially by young attractive females have in the past been quite suspect as purposefully looking for controversary and later "fame". I remember one female who did it in particular .... very suspect.

Not saying this young girl or her parents intended that, but very silly for a twelve year old to have an unmonitored publicly viewable facebook page under any circumstances.

Some hunting dads appear to be very similar to cheerleader moms. Their complete obsession with promoting their daughter is... unsettling.
