An image of a newly married couple with a zebra they’d just killed shows disrespect for the institution of marriage as much as for the prey the pair have just killed
Marriage is a union that should be respected as much as those who hunt ought to also respect their prey. An image shared by the Empty Cages Worldwide group on Facebook shows quite the contrary towards both by a callous pair of newly married zebra killers.
Shared by some 680 people, the image of this badly dressed pair is offensive on so many levels. That this couple decided to celebrate their union by killing such a fine creature will be viewed as repugnant by many but that they opted to be photographed in such a way after committing to one another sums up all that is wrong with them also.

Even dead, the animal looks nobler than the two of them put together….
This is utterly shocking! Where did this atrocity happen? It is illegal in most countries . What hideous monsters this repugnant couple is .
I would happily shoot both of them.
The zebra is much loved by myself as it belongs to the horse family. What these 2 brutes have done is to advertise to the world their repulsive behaviour! Them and the other 680 backers should be exposed as barbarians to innocent animals. Not surprised they married each other, nobody else would bother. Shame on them. The zebra is far better dressed (though dead) then those reprobates! Words fail me.
those monsters should be tracked down and prosecuted . Are they not shamed by FB??
and how come the wildlife and related organizations have not become aware of this?
Why get angry about this? It’s an ANIMAL! I get angry about the fact that you don’t support the Find Madeleine campaign. You should be helping poor dear Gerry and Kate McCann in their efforts to find their beloved daughter. The zebra is dead, Madeleine is still missing. Focus your wretched energy on a real cause. Thank you, Gillian Trott.
I am confident that readers of this quality editorial support the find Madeleine campaign. But where does one start to look? Your comment it’s an animal does not count. Those people readily and guilt free showed gleefully on social media that they had just killed an animal that was minding it’s own business in trying to survive. Killed for pleasure and not to eat. I might remind you that how we treat animals is largely how we treat people. Decent types respect nature and share the planet with them. After all, we are indeed ourselves a sophisticated animal.
Again, I wheel out my F Scott Fitzgerald / Nick Caraway line from ‘ The Great Gatsby ‘
‘ If ever you feel like disapproving of anyone; just remember that not everyone has had your advantages ‘
My recommendation is to ‘ Row your own boat ‘ or ‘ Paddle one’s own canoe ‘ and you were lucky enough to have a mother like mine, who always advised me to be ‘ As good as you can ‘ and let all the vile and ignorant rot in a hell of their own making…..
