Here’s a really terrible headline that goes with a really nice story. Some hunters found a young buck trapped in a fence, so they freed it — and the New York Post considered that “unthinkable.”

Even the story doesn’t back up the headline:
When these hunters in Warrensburg, Missouri, encountered a young deer with its leg caught in a fence, they stepped in to save the animal. Although the duo often hunt deer, they believe in treating wild game with respect and kindness. “We are very ethical hunters — we would never kill a distressed, captured or trapped deer or any animal,” Buck Tranbarger explained. After being freed, the animal thanked the men with a sweet gesture of its own. It was seen on camera nuzzling up to one of the hunters, who was happy to comfort it with some relaxing petting.
How is that unthinkable?
Hunters are (usually) also conservationists so not unthinkable at all.

Nothing says “living in a bubble” like the person that came up with this headline. https://t.co/7PY0QlEizR

Why is it unthinkable? The headline writer has never been a hunter. https://t.co/PmrsMlnlHy

This is only “unthinkable” to hyper liberals living such an isolated life in a bubble they have no concept of hunting…… https://t.co/VLKCcDwxyl

Hunters have far more respect for nature and wildlife than any woke climate change environmentalist.

Hunting is conservation. Libs do not and will never grasp this essential fact. https://t.co/CQTFhyAcjB

This is an incredibly stupid headline. Why is it "unthinkable" that the hunters didn't kill a small wounded deer?
It's unethical to hunt animals that are wounded and struggling. Secondly, you don't kill small bucks anyways. You let them go and let them grow. https://t.co/v2iYhhuz3R

It's only "unthinkable" if you have no idea about who hunters are and don't realize that they're the biggest conservationists you can find. https://t.co/J4998aOWxU

Why is this unthinkable? Real hunters are conservationists.
