Female Hunter Apparently Takes Her Own Life Following Death Threats from Animal Rights Activists


Hate killed a female hunter who was found dead after apparently committing suicide, and reports say death threats by animal rights activists may have led to her fatal decision.

According to DailyMail, Melania Capitan, 27, had a prominent social media following for her outdoor/hunting lifestyle.


As we see so often with hunters on social media, Melania received thousands of death threats and hate messages, mostly from animal rights activists – and we all know how extreme they can be.


Even after her death, her Facebook page continued to be flurried with comments, apparently welcoming the news.

“She was so bitter that she had to pay her hate killing innocent animals, thank God she killed herself, the only good thing she did lately,” one of the grotesque comments read.

So we have to ask, when will this hate for hunters stop?

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

This is tragic but she must have had other emotional issues if written abuse from strangers on social media was enough to push her over the edge.
I don't know why someone would post hunting pictures on Facebook.

Come to think of it, I don't know why someone would post ANYTHING on Facebook.

There is more to this than just posting pictures on FaceBook!

Just like this site, NO ONE IS FORCED to post ANYTHING on FACEBOOK.

That woman had other emotional issues, and those are what caused her actions!

It seems that young people today are more susceptible to suicide over cyber bullying. I don't know know the reason why, but it seems there is a story about it every week.

It is a Sad, terrible situation. My sincerest Condolences to her family and friends.

The most troubling part to me, is that young people place such a high value on sites like FaceBook.

There are a LOT of very sad things connected with this. It is a shame to see a young person take their life for any reason. It is also sad that they live too much of their lives on line and that becomes their main contact with the outside world and shapes way too much of their emotions.

If she had only gone hunting instead.

I agree. This is not a bullied 13 year-old, she was a grown woman. I am sorry that she made such a terrible decision and my thoughts are with her family but blaming the antis just gives them a sense of power.

I would be very surprised if she did not have other issues that contributed to her death.

I have posted hunting and fishing pictures on FB including many with my daughter and I have never received a single negative comment.

I have noticed that the antis get extra torqued when a hunter happens to be a female. I think it messes with all of their trite "theories" regarding why hunters hunt.

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

You ever known or been around a person contemplating suicide?

What are you basing your "Judgement" on?

Because she was a hunter?

It don't work that way.
