Opie & Anthony: Melissa Bachman The Lion Murderer, with Jim Florentine (11/18/13)

[@onquacole9855]

I always wondered if the executives ever listened to the show. Because Anthony was great with all the comedians and really needed a show of his own. Him with Patrice, Jimmy, Vos, and without Opie. It would still be better than H.stern any day.

[@LA-ym3gt]

I agree, much better without the hole (Opie).

[@budaustin6681]

Amen

[@drbibhis7345]

To be honest opie with below average comedian is better than howard

[@frankconforti2679]

They wasted a billion dollars on stern too. First contract was definitely worth it but after that…

[@jamesmactaggart9]

It doesn't matter if she gave the meat away. She murdered a species that is in serious trouble just to make herself feel better. She is a sad person.

[@SmokeymcJoint420]

" She murdered a species that is in serious trouble just to make herself feel better." Quite an assumption on your part. No, in fact it is common to hunt these sorts of animals for various reasons, be it the animal is old and will be put down anyway or the animal is a threat to other animals and will be put down anyway. You have no idea how any of this works or why it is done.

[@stackingstones7173]

I do not mind the hunting part but killing an animal not meant to be eaten or controlled as an invasive species or over population is besides me.

[@swingingfordearlife]

people defending this are ignoring the fact that she shot a lion in the head for no reason. who shoots anything like that for no reason with a smile on their face? creepy.

[@richmound5145]

So?

[@petesmith9475]

there are enough of those useless critters at zoo. Just blast away for fun.

[@peterpratsch7223]

They are preserving the lion population now by letting select hunters shot them for big money. It’s sick and backwards but that’s the fact now.

[@m3m3lina47]

The best part is that no matter how hard anyone whines, this will never go away.

[@tm171990]

Jim rants be so golden lol

[@hansel4150]

Jimmy is always talking about phony outrage on the media but then he goes on stupid tirades like these.

[@MelBee128]

South Africa is not a poor mation. A lot of the gold and diamonds of the world come from there. They could ban hunting and not feel it at all financially. They certainly don't have an abundance of lions if there's only 35,000 in the whole world.

[@szuchmann]

Whats the point of big game hunting? To kill rare animals for no reason? Do they use the meat after they kill it?

[@MrEvanNoyes]

Trophy hunting

[@jospi2]

Jimmy changed quite a bit, I remember his hilarious bear rant from a few years back.

[@badreligionbomb]

jospi2 not a change.. its called comedy

[@petesmith9475]

guess it's true you become pussy when you are old fart for lack of testo. Does not apply to me.

[@gingeranagram2467]

Bruh the animal and environmental rants were jokes...

[@UrockEntertainment]

In recent years, there was an estimated 200,000 South African lions. Today there are only about 23,000 -30,000 left, already extinct in 26 countries. Only seven countries - Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe - are believed to have more than 1,000 lions each.

[@speedrob]

Is this good or bad and better or worse now and why do I care? 🤷‍♂️

[@jameswall1987]

Hopefully we can kill em all!

[@joseherrera2338]

Jim's classic rants are pure comedy gold regardless.

[@svenohair]

Amen, Jimmy. Amen.

[@JerFhilm]

There's nothing wrong with hunting and eating what you kill, but this trophy hunter bullshit is for the birds I say.

[@tolpacourt]

In some parts of Africa the alternative to wealthy westerners coming over to hunt for trophies is large-scale poaching by heavily armed gangs. The hunting tourism industry provides jobs to the local people who then have a strong financial incentive to _not_ poach the game because their relatives are hunting guides, cooks, etc. at the hunting lodges. Poaching is the real problem in Africa, not rich foreign hunters.

[@Monscent]

By golly, let's keep this family friendly.

[@jacobsmith1997]

@@tolpacourt Except this is most likely a canned hunt which is even more shit than trophy hunting.

[@carlm2590]

Alright Jim we get it

[@davidperez5089]

I rather her die by the hand of a human hunter aka serial killer. Poétic justice right Yimmy!

[@alexmckelvey3768]

Hypothetically, if the woman who shot the lion paid enough coin to save even 2 lions, would it be okay then? Not looking for an argument on feelings, I agree that her style is distasteful, but selective culling in exchange for a month of operating expenses for a game preserve has to be worth it, yes?

[@jacobsmith1997]

That's not what happened. She probably paid a cub petting zoo that sold there older lions to hunters to kill.

[@jacobsmith1997]

@Jo Bi No

[@teddyhammer2558]

Animals are hunted here for meat. It is during a specific season and is regulated due to the mass influx of deer etc. nothing about this is true about lions. That is all.

[@Monscent]

Wouldve been good if Rogan was in studio here. I can understand Jimmy but I dont think he has much knowledge about this stuff.

[@BobbyDigital59]

The whole rant started after they brought Ricky her aid up, the whole rant was probably an attempt to get Ricky to cast him in something

[@whahappend8222]

Lmao that caller who tried to play the "don't judge what people enjoy doing" card. The difference between doing something and someone judging you for it, and flat out murdering something for you own ego, is massive. One is a hobby where you hurt no one and destroy nothing, the other is killing something for fun and to stoke your own self worth.

[@MrEvanNoyes]

Are you also a vegan? Do you also disagree with clearing land for development? These people want a trophy. As long as they’re not killing endangered species, fuck it.

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

Who cares? You know how many people you killed out of boredom with your comment? Just so you can get your meaningless point across.

[@NimrodTheMaidenless]

@@MrEvanNoyes but they always go after endangered ones or else its not "rare" enough, either way whats the point of a trophy anyone with a weapon could achieve? its just retarded and weak.

[@blaineburns867]

Jimmy your way off on this one. Whats really your issue about this? Your selective in your own mind when your view is without merit. Stop trying to play Dr. Nothing!

[@crimsonxtide50]

People are acting like she did something illegal. She paid for permits, she did nothing illegal, she wasn't hunting just to kill, the meat was donated to people in need which is actually a standard practice in Africa. Hunting is also a huge economy boost in Africa. I'm not saying this isn't sad, I love lions, but the fact people are thinking she went out and purely just wanted to kill something, its quite ridiculous.

[@phanatic215]

she did go out with the intention to kill a lion, otherwise she would have brought a camera instead of a gun.

[@PedroUtubeVideos]

This world is a safer place to live because of Melissa Bachman.

[@steallydan5849]

Really tho 👍🏻

[@free2game]

Who gives a shit. They're animals, not people. Besides, hunting like this is done to be sustainable, it's not like it's poaching or something.

[@rahmingfamilymafia]

Fuck you a year later

[@UrockEntertainment]

"I have the right to do anything," you say--but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"--but not everything is constructive." 1 Cor. 10:23....It's not like she's the only one who has killed and then posted a picture of herself with a dead lion killed senselessly. Many have. But she is a HIGH PROFILE figure who has done this and my hope is that this lion's death will be the one that really wakes people up to the needless killing of this amazing animal and others and my hope is many more people will get involved in stopping this kind of head hunting activity. posted below was my response to another post about this senseless killing of this amazing creature.

[@MelBee128]

I Love Jimmy even more for bashing this awful woman. Who knew he was such a defender of animals? Good on ya Yimmy

[@Anfubvinch]

Oh wow, Jimmy wasn't lying. She looks awful. She's a manly murderous 2.5/10

Anyone else think Melissa Bachman sounds like Bonnie McFarlane?

[@redzeppelin6843]

Don't they hunt bears in NJ too keep the pop. down?

[@pinkmullet4]

Jimmy is wrong about this, these hunting reservation raise lions and other endangered species in massive reservations. The hunters pay tens of thousands of dollars to hunt these animals which go towards maintaining the reservation and protecting these animals from extinction often times the meat is donated to feed families in Africa. This woman is actually a lion hero.

[@pinkmullet4]

Will Schmidt uh, okay?

[@pinkmullet4]

Will Schmidt You didn't make a point.

[@willschmidt6584]

pinkmullet4 I think I have proven that you are 'on the spectrum'.

[@DanFromMerdo]

Right so killing Lions helps them? there are only 32,000 left. And if this shit keeps going on they will be gone before we know it.

[@pinkmullet4]

Atheieye Yes it does, that's the whole point, they aren't snatching these lions out from the wild, they are bred and raised in captivity. Not all of them are killed either some are released back into the wild or into reservations where hunting isn't allowed raising the population. they could not afford to do this if the hunters were not paying exorbitant sums of money to hunt them.

[@frankconforti2679]

Was Opie on vacation? This was a refreshing episode. No hostility and you can see nobody is walking on eggshells

[@vitaminrstudios]

It's interesting seeing so many people turn on Jimmy just because they don't agree with him. He killed to me, especially once they started watching her video.

[@cuddlepartyatmyhouse]

If he was a vegan I'd respect what he's saying. Hearing meat eaters preach like this is so fucking douchey.

[@flutebasket4294]

He's a homosexual

[@UrockEntertainment]

I am not against hunting the right animals for the right reasons. The bottom line is Lions are hunted for their heads. The one thing I am glad for is when a Lion, even a drugged Lion is shot, it does not retreat, it immediately charges and attacks its aggressor, my hope is more Lions will get their shooter before they die. This is the reason for all the jackasses with guns alongside a so called HUNTER. She did not stalk this Lion. She shot it after it was brought in for a canned, paid for hunt. Basically she and anyone who “hunts” these animals this way, are low life scum who are, in the animal world, equal to child molesters and rapists in the human realm. I only hope her career as an asshole with a gun is ruined. May the internet bullies be unleashed on her.

[@abaddon4823]

They’re old and the pride needs culling. It really does help since it’s illegal to poach and lions are apex predators. Money helps the sanctuary’s pays the game wardens. Not my thing but it really does help

hunting anything that breaths is epic fun.

i could be wrong but didnt Jim get uggs for a girl?

[@trvemike6222]

If she was poaching I would get the outrage. But it costs thousands of dollars to get those tags and the hunting trip. That's besides the fact that guns for big game are only effective up to about 150 yards if I've been reading correctly. It's probably the fairest hunt there is. Lions eat by picking off the weakest, sickest, and slowest in a herd. They look cuddly, but they would tear you in half because they are predators of opportunity. Still, I morally object. But I don't think that this hunting should be banned. It just means I won't shell out the money to go to Africa. Besides, I'm gonna guess that these countries aren't getting much in the way of tourism. Those hunters are putting a ton of money in that economy.

[@AwakeningHypnosis]

No--she is flanked by armed guards--and cameramen that protect the "Little Princess". Fair?? Brave ?? NO. Google "Canned Hunt"...and you will be shocked to see that (for a price) you can KILL Lion, Zebra, Panther, etc at a number of "Clubs" in the USA--most are in TEXAS. (Ted Nugent has his own in Michigan). "Weekend Warriors" pay between $4,000- 7,500K (avg) to kill a drugged, sickly, or retired circus/zoo animal. YES--right here in the USA.... shamefully !!

[@trvemike6222]

AwakeningHypnosis Why--do you TALK like this??? The money from the hunt goes towards conservation in those countries. I think killing off one sick or old lion is okay if it means the rest benefit.

[@AwakeningHypnosis]

It's Government Propaganda that "it's for the Greater Good" !! The Government is so deep into the Black Market selling of these dissected carcasses--the going rate for a Lion Penis starts at $4,700-USD in China (a white Lion Penis can fetch $15K!!) The Officials POCKET the CASH. Lion bones are ground for a "Viagra effect". Tigers are worth even more. The S.A. Government is hugely corrupt.

[@trvemike6222]

AwakeningHypnosis It's a CONSPIRACY-- !! THE GOVERNMENT is engineering thermite lions to EXPLODE on command with the HAARP system!!! Thank you for your service.

[@phanatic215]

TrveMike fair would be going after the lion with a sharpened stick. It's completely unfair to hunt with a high powered rifle and think it's a challenge.
