Each time, holding their rifles, they smiled in front of their hunting trophies: leopards, elephants, buffaloes, all victims of a sadistic and senseless passion. But the social outrage this time had a sequel and the couple in question were fired.
Each time, holding their rifles, they smiled in front of their hunting trophies: leopards, elephants, buffaloes, all victims of a sadistic and senseless passion. But the social outrage this time had a sequel and the couple in question were fired.
Jacques A. and his wife Martine ran a Super U supermarket in L'Arbresle, a French town not far from Lyon, but the two continued to have an unbridled passion for hunting.
So every year in South Africa, where it is allowed to hunt wild animals by paying hunt organizations, they went on vacation to kill. And then clearly some souvenir photos were taken.
Ignoble images that ended up on social networks posted by one of the big game organizations that had hosted them, unleashing the ire of users.
But not a simple indignation, a real protest so much so that even the mayor of Lyon Gérard Collomb intervened on the matter, commenting that“Hunting protected species is a criminal act”.
In the end, this passion cost husband and wife the loss of their jobs. In fact, the management of the Super U chain has urged their resignations, motivating that those images are in contrast with the values of the defense of nature disclosed by the company.

The two allegedly killed: a lion, gazelles, a hippo, a leopard and even a crocodile. The images dating back to 2015 have ended up on the web in recent days and have created havoc and the company has posted its choice on Twitter by distancing itself from this type of behavior.
"We are totally against hunting safari activities, we announce that the two workers are leaving the company with immediate effect."
It goes without saying that the decision was received with great applause by all.
“You have to lead by example. You can't afford to kill a living being and brag about corpses on social media ”, one user commented.
