The animal kingdom is luigifying too! πŸ’ͺ

Maybe get some kind of confirmation a person is a shitty person before celebrating their death? All I can find about this guy is that he was prominent in wildlife conservation activism. Do you have sources I didn't read?

Alternatively, I guess you might try and make the argument that he must have been a shitty person solely because he started, ran, and/or sold a business at some point in his life. I wouldn't recommend it, as that's a shitty argument on its own merits, but you could try.

Sir! This is lemmy! Of course he was evil. Not taking any further questions.

Mother Nature singled him out to get fucking EATEN by a lion during pride month in Namibia

I don't normally go for mystical thinking but come on now

(Though the article implies he was a donor to conservation efforts of specifically the kinds of lions that attacked him so πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ)

I enjoy when nature puts us in our place. Sad for his family, but I’m always on Team Lion.

They told us never leave the tent at night. It was safe in the tent but you needed to go don’t go to the latrine, go just outside the flap.

What kind of businessman?

It matters if they were selling wind turbines or fossil fuels.

i dunno, according to some people here at least it's exploitative to sell people things they need for stuff they do...

It's exploitative for a cobbler to sell you a pair of trekking shoes?

Seems like if you got the shoes for free, you'd be the one exploiting their labour.

Did the cobbler make ever facet of the shoe themselves?

Did the 4x4 seller resell shit made in China from slave labor, take a profit off of his direct employees work, and use it to benefit his own life?

Congratulations, capitalists are exploiters.
