Title: Locked out of Facebook for Bear Hunting Picture...and more.
Post by: aaron on November 21, 2013, 10:42:06 AM: Hi guys. One of my clients, Scott Haugen, posted this on his Facebook page yesterday and I thought I'd share it here. If you don't know, Scott and his wife are outdoor authors and TV hosts. Ever seen Trijicon's the Hunt on the Sportsman Channel?

Scott posted a picture of a bear they took in Alaska last year and were subsequently locked out of their facebook account for 12 hours for "violating community rights" AND where told that their account could be terminated entirely. They tried contacting facebook but got no-where. Now they are receiving death threats.

Here is what he posted yesterday:

ATTENTION Facebook HUNTING friends...In case you're not aware, there is a MAJOR anti-hunting push taking place right now. We're posting a LIVE bear photo, as one we posted a couple months back of a bear taken in AK was banned for "violating community rights," and also locked us out of our account for 12 hrs. Does anyone know how to contact FB about this...we CANNOT have them blocking hunters, tasteful photos, etc. We're a strong community, contributing billions of $ each year into the country, and can't let the anti's ban us..and that's what's happening, now!

It is total insanity where a photo of an ethically harvested bear (not graphic at all) is banned while VIDEOS of human beheadings are allowed to stay (http://zeenews.india.com/news/net-news/facebook-to-continue-showing-beheading-footages-if-posted-in-right-context_891205.html) as long as it's "in the right context".

Post by: snowpack on November 21, 2013, 11:05:13 AM: I thought the owner/creator of Facebook was all into hunting and made some pledge to only eat meat that he killed for a year? Seems weird.

Post by: Russ McDonald on November 21, 2013, 11:10:40 AM: I have posted all my harvest on FB. I suppose because Scott's page is public and every can view it. I met Scott 2 years ago while they were filming and hunting on the Quinault Rez. Good guy. I would tell FB to take a long walk of a short pier.

Post by: PolarBear on November 21, 2013, 11:50:05 AM: Death threats from internet terrorist cowards. These people are just jumping on the bandwagon like those who have crucified Mellissa Bachmann for LEGALLY killing that lion. It seems that the trend is to jump on a popular cause and make death threats, not ulike what happened with the Trayvon/Zimmerman case. None of this crap is based on facts, it is all mob emotion mentality.

Post by: uplandhunter870 on November 21, 2013, 11:52:32 AM: im not sure what he did to tee some one off but 95% of all my FB pics are of me standing/kneeling/sitting next to or holding some sort of dead animal. heck one of them is my 08 black bear that i hit right between the eyes with a 300WSM and it blew the entire top of the skull off its a pretty tasteless look at this s--- type photo and i havent been banned yet :dunno:
