        He killed a baby. He killed a mother & her baby. He killed a father & his family. Then he posed them for a picture. That's Jeffrey Dahmer level sadistic, if you ask me. What kind of human, with reasoning of pain and torture, does that to a defenseless animal?

        I’ll never understand how someone could take pleasure from killing an animal for no legitimate purpose.

        Sickening and Idaho should demand his resignation.

        I am a hunter myself. But, there is a difference between hunting and wanton killing.

        If I am not mistaken, Namibia's Ministry of Environment and Tourism outlawed taking pictures with dead animals so indeed, you may had the permit to shoot but I do not think, its allowed under Namibian Wildlife Law. It outright painful to see those pictures of dead animals.

        I am an Idaho resident. When I saw this report it broke my heart. I called the game commissioner's office immediately and could only leave a message. I left my name and local address asking for his resignation. His behavior is revolting.

        It’s legal.

        It also goes against the Idaho hunting principles that are taught by the commissioners. He was called to resign by previous ID game commissioners.

        Well, if he broke some policy or rule that’s a different story. But just hunting an animal legally shouldn’t be a career death sentence.

        If you read the Idaho Statesman article, he sent an email with the photos to friends and colleagues. Four former commissioners called for his resignation because showcasing kills and sending unsolicited photos goes against ID hunting education which he teaches.

        Someone should declare open season on trophy hunters and those who enable them like "President" Trump!

        I call on potential tourists to Idaho to boycott the state until, Blake Fischer leaves his Fish and Game Commissioner post. You can't pledge environment safety and have an animal killer on your payroll!

        It is common sense to stand by your words. You can't be a Fish and Game commissioner in Idaho and then travel to Africa to commit poaching.
