THOUSANDS of people have again levelled contempt at U.S. cheerleader Kendall Jones over an online competition she set up to find the “hottest” male hunter.

    The 19-year-old, who has been bombarded with death threats and hate from all over the world due to her proud Facebook posts about killing rare and exotic animals, said she received over 3000 submissions for the contest and personally decided upon an “American Idol-style Top 12.”

    But it wasn’t the nominees or even the winner — North Carolina’s Trey Moore — that people cared about, and rather the fact Jones was once again celebrating the slaughter of animals in the name of sport.

    “[Applause] for the day your gun fails and the lion tears u apart,” one furious critic, Paul Norton, posted to Jones’ Facebook page.

    Jones, a cheerleader at Texas Tech in Texas, claims her motivation for initiating the competition was to expose the sexism she has suffered.

    “What really pisses off the anti-hunting crowd is not that I hunt ... its the fact that I’m a girl and I’m doing those things,” she wrote.

    “I’m NEVER going to stop. I’m proud to hunt, proud to cheer, proud to wear makeup, and especially PROUD TO BE ME!”

    However this seemed to only further infuriate her detractors.

    Jennifer Skean wrote: “You may love your makeup but it doesn’t hide the monster you are.”

    Bianca Dye wrote: “You are DISGUSTING!”

    ‘I don’t care the slightest bit that you’re a women. I’m just an average guy who cares about the fact that you’re just willing to kill an animal that just simply doesn’t need to be killed,’ wrote Matt Phillips. “Do you really need to kill a lion/cheetah?”

    Another man, Rick Nally, wrote: “What warped pleasure would you get from killing these beautiful cats? or an elephant, rhino ... etc?”

    Chris Seilhamer added: “You’re not a hunter ... you’re an idiot ...” (SD-Agencies)
