Portuguese officials have expressed outrage at the massacre of more than 500 deer and wild boar in a hunting zone in the centre of the country.
Environment Minister João Fernandes said the killing by 16 Spanish hunters was "vile" and an "environmental crime" that should be prosecuted.
Pictures of the slaughter were shared on social media.
Hunting individual animals is allowed but in this incident most of the zone's deer population are said to have died.
The killing is thought to have taken place on a farm in the Torrebela tourist hunting zone, near Azambuja, about 40km (24 miles) from the Portuguese capital Lisbon on 17 and 18 December.
The 1,100ha (2,700-acre) farm is described as being walled in, meaning that the 540 animals had no means of escape from their killers.
The Environment Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday that "the reports and news about the indiscriminate slaughter of animals… have nothing to do with hunting, understood as a practice that can contribute to the maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystems".
These guys are pretty cool and it's a bit much them all getting salty just cos someone killed all your deers and pigs. They were free to shoot so these guys were just following the rules.

Fuck deer and fuck pigs, those fuckers have had it too good for too long, eating up all the good grass and vandalizing all the tree bark with their antlers and shitting everywhere, oh and don't even get me started on pigs. Did you know that they roll in their own shit? Literally coat themselves in their own excrement just to be a dick.

hunting would be more interesting if instead of fat fucks with powerful and accurate rifles camping in a tree house waiting to ambush a deer it was people with bows and arrows and kives and spears going hand to hand with giant beasts like the old days

We should just start up life and death combats, or small ritualistic warfare. BLU or RED but with actual stakes and glory. It's just that it would probably make so much money, and they would be so well adapted and equiped that they would probably become dangerous at large or some shit.

i bet the free market division would trounce an unmotivated "professional" force and both would utterly destroy a conscript army.

I never understood how 'sport' hunters take pride in killing things that have no chance of ever fighting back
sometimes I try to think up ways to arm up wild animals to give them a chance, like maybe an automatic turret on the head of a giraffe or an LRAD panel that blasts hunters with an ear-shattering screech
