Things that make you laugh...

These stories will never not be funny.

A “sudden and unprovoked attack”.

WTF? Dude was literally going to kill the buffalo. That would provoke the hell out of me.

Also, he was apparently really bad at stalking.

Buffalo kills someone who was trying to kill it.

Seems "stand your ground" laws apply.

Yeah he was a dick. I hate guns and I don't hunt. I only said it wasn't funny. This buffalo kills up to 200 people per year and is more dangerous than virtually any other animal in Africa. It kills a shit ton of hunters. This kind of big money expedition comes with risks that all are aware of. It's part of the thrill. This is not exactly unusual or as ironic as it appears. I'm glad the buffalo lived.

I posted something about Ted Nugent that was disparaging about his ridiculous amount of animal and big game kills. I find it revolting.

I just don't find stories of people getting killed particularly funny. My father was a hunter and I don't think I'd have laughed if I'd heard he'd been killed.

Did your father provoke a buffalo into killing him though? I don't think he did.

No.

Look, ideologically I'm mostly in agreement with the sentiment here. I just don't think these stories are FUNNY. If the buffalo had been carrying a rifle, now THAT would be funny; if it had bored the guy in the ass and tossed him twenty feet, THAT would be funny. But with these admittedly asinine big game hunts, what happened to this dude is not exactly novel or ironic. Irony is the key to humor. When you go after a dangerous animal like that, the chance of being killed by it is acknowledged, and is part of the excitement for these silly alpha types.

Not to mention he left a mother, brother, ex-wife, and 16 year old daughter. Other people are involved. I don't feel like laughing at their expense.

I just don't think it's FUNNY, but that's just me.

Yes, but as an analogy, obviously the Holocaust isn't funny and was obviously a horrible event. But nevertheless people still find Hitler's mustache, the way he talks in his speeches, and Nazi marching funny. Just because the Holocaust was horrible doesn't mean we can't make anything related to it funny.

The same buffalo???
I mean, if they’re all trying to kill him, I don’t blame him.
If you mean that’s the total for the species … no biggie. I mean, mosquitoes kill up to 1 million people every year. That basserd should have been hunting THEM if he was on a quest to prevent mortality.
