Idaho Fish And Game Commissioner Resigns Amid Hunting Photos Controversy

Idaho Fish and Game Commissioner Blake Fischer became the center of an internet controversy after photos of a September hunting trip began spreading online this past Tuesday (October 16). While on the trip, he killed many animals, including a giraffe, a leopard, and an entire family of baboons, before snapping pictures of himself proudly grinning over their bodies.

Retired Fish and Game Commissioner Gary Power said Fischer's actions were shameful:

The photo of him and the baboons, a family, it's absolutely deplorable and totally contradicts everything that game management is about.

Twitter was disgusted by Fischer's acts of killing:



Under pressure from around the world, Governor Butch Otter of Idaho asked for Fischer's resignation and received it.

This was great news for animal lovers everywhere!



The Idaho governor delivered a statement saying Fischer had exercised bad judgement.

In his letter of resignation, Fischer apologized for so me of his actions.

For many on Twitter, however, Fischer's apology didn't sound quite right.





Fortunately, the good people of Idaho won't have to deal with Fischer any longer.

Hopefully, their next Game Commissioner will have a slightly higher opinion of beautiful wild animals.

They are awfully good at pretending though.

Be vigilant of the signs and red flags.

Toxic people are crafty.

And once you're free, never look back.

There's nothing quite like the drama that can arise at a wedding or in the days leading up to it.

But the moment people don't necessarily think about is the moment when the audience can choose to object if they so choose, and surprisingly, some people take advantage of this opportunity. It often doesn't go well.

Financially speaking, most of us could benefit greatly from having extra money each month.

When love is on the rocks and there's no salvaging a relationship, it's better for a couple to call it splits.

Sometimes the reason for a breakup is obvious.

Other times, it's more complicated.

But the people involved going their separate ways is better than staying in an unhealthy relationship.
