EXCLUSIVE: Wife of American dentist who is in hiding after killing Cecil the lion is a hunter too - and his office has animal heads and paw print flooring
Walter Palmer's wife Tonette has had a total of seven hunting licences including in Florida and Alaska
She and her husband are in hiding after he was reviled around the world for hunting and killing Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe with bow and arrow and gun
Former member of Palmer's staff reveals his private office had animal heads and animal print flooring
Tonette Palmer was formerly the vice president of a family-run import and export company although recent employment records list her as secretary for a Minneapolis real estate developer.
The mother-of-two seemingly shares her husband's zeal for killing wildlife, with public records revealing that she has held as many as seven sport licenses entitling her to fish in Florida and hunt in Alaska.
Her husband's numerous kills - all by bow and arrow - include a moose, a buffalo, a polar bear and a mountain lion.
Their two homes are thought to be crammed with stuffed heads and mementos from his safari slaughter spree, with more items stored in his personal office at his dental surgery in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Polar bears are an illegal prey. Somebody needs to be called into accountability..

I'm no fan of big game / trophy hunting.

If a bear gets aggressive they trap it and tag it then fly it out of the area.
DashOneBravo
(2,679 posts)I've seen numbers ranging from 300 - 1000 killed a year.
I think I'd rather just watch one.
Monk06
(7,675 posts)it in one of these with a hunter hanging out the side door.
The bear with a 'broken leg' hit the water at 50 mph then reared up and slapped the side of the helicopter with its paw and the pilot had to bank away tout suite.
Policy then was if a bear came into the camp it was shot. There were over tree hundred kids living in the camp at the time.
Oh and in case you think the helicopter slapping bear is a fish story take a gander at the reach of these big fellas. LOL

What I don't believe is ya'll flew in that thing and didn't die. It looks like the bastard father of the Chinook.

But I do recall the RCAF was equipped with them because they were in the news because of reliability problems and crashes. The one in your pick could be the one I saw LOL. Since it's an antique it must be RCAF !
Might have been this version http://www.canadianwings.com/Aircraft/aircraftDetail.php?H-21-172#
They were aquired by the RCAF in 1954 and used for transport and SAR on the DEW line

Don't ask me to put a sarcasm tag here, because if you find a sarcasm tag necessary, it does not reflect poorly on me.

(7,675 posts)easily the equal of the one in that pic, They are huge animals, especially the males.

(2,185 posts)Although the Inuit host many 'big game hunters' (cough)
they will not take down a polar.
The aboriginals have much more leeway regarding harvesting (their term) arctic animals
(but they must by law register their harvest with the Canadian government)
when I was there, I saw nothing, no evidence of a bear kill.
Saw them take a beluga, musk ox, arctic fox,
but no touch the bear.
There is a protocol followed in villages when a bear is on the turf,
but only kill for food, or when in danger.
The harvest of an animal is done with great care, and honor the creature
as well as how its done. None of this done by our friend.. Tonette and her dickhead husband.
Right now they are the hunted.. how does it feel to be on the other end of the sights?
DashOneBravo
(2,679 posts)Sight-seeing trips in the Arctic. It has to be a blast.
The article I read said that Canada was the only country that allowed polar bear hunts and you had to use a guide.
noel711
(2,185 posts)The guides are the aboriginals..
they appreciate the work but are very..reticent,
especially with anglos..
No luxury hotels, and food is thru the roof.
Fresh water is a luxury: bathing and washing clothes is
rare.. Fresh vegetables and fruit are rare treats.
And alcohol among the tribal peoples is almost banned,
due to long standing addiction issues.
We went on a mission trip with our church to work with the children,
which was incredible. We had a 'in' as other groups had been to
the Island before us.
The 'sacred' part for me was evening visits with the elders
as their stories and experiences.were incredible.
Some of them remembered when the first white explorers came
to their island.. and changed their lives forever (not for the better).
We were there during July/august
so it was daylight 24/7... very odd to get up at 3 am
and see kids riding bikes and playing basketball at the school building.
But it was an experience of a lifetime, and hated to leave.
It is stunning to know there are still humans who honor the land,
the animals with which they live, and one another.
Our culture has much to learn from them.

Glassunion
(10,201 posts)I'm not saying that she does not trophy hunt, but then again I'm not saying she does. Do you have evidence to the contrary?
Yes she married an asshole. But does that make her a low-life? Lots of folks marry assholes. Hell even my wife did.
Having hunting licenses does not say anything. I have a fishing license in NJ (not my home state) and have never fished in NJ. I hunt for food. I hold 5 hunting licenses in 3 states. My freezer is full for the minimal cost of a license.
I'm not saying she is a saint, not by any stretch. But what evidence do you have that supports your comment that she is a "low life animal butcher"? Or are you so full of righteous indignation that you feel compelled to burn more folks at the stake?
GitRDun
(1,846 posts)There is a huge difference between hunting for something like elk here in the states and illegally luring then slaughtering a lion out of a refuge in Zimbabwe.
The licenses in the states are limited to preserve wildlife population. Most of the hunters I have ever met eat the meat. Best lasagna I ever had was made with mostly moose.
Her husband is a major tool, to be sure. She's no low life just because she hunts.
btw, my wife married an asshole too...

GitRDun
(1,846 posts)I guess we'll all have to agree to disagree on this one.
When I think of traditional hunting / fishing, I don't see it as being entertained by killing. I don't think most hunters / fisherman do either. It's a food gathering method that's been going on since man first inhabited the planet
The indians, our ancestors hunted for food. They certainly weren't scum. My guess is they "enjoyed" the challenge as much as modern hunters do. I can't make the leap that just because we mass produce meat and fish today that those who hunt or fish are in it for entertainment alone, especially since most eat their catch.
I guess different strokes for different folks

(7,413 posts)So their basis is that she has had some hunting licenses? I've had fishing and hunting licenses in my state for over 20 years, we hunt deer, turkeys and wild hogs around here.
