No, it's not what I thought either...


Laureen Harper slams cougar hunter as 'creep' who 'must be compensating'

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s wife joined the chorus of online backlash against a Canadian TV personality who bragged about killing a cougar in northern Alberta.

Steve Ecklund, the host of the outdoor enthusiast show “The Edge,” posted several photos earlier this month showing him holding the dead animal, and another of him cooking a stir-fry with the meat.

Laureen Harper took to Twitter on Wednesday night to express her distaste for the hunter, calling him a “creep” and suggesting his behavior may have been the result of a masculine shortcoming.

Harper’s response provoked reactions online ranging from support to surprise at such blunt language from the wife of a former prime minister.

“Laureen? I honestly must admit, I never expected you to speak so boldly. Luv it!” wrote one user.

Another said, “Laureen! Who knew you were such a badass?”

Harper responded to a user who worried her account had been hacked, writing “Wasn’t hacked. I was really angry that some guy flies all the way to Alberta to kill a magnificent cougar, so he can make a stir fry.”

Why? Because he utilized the animal instead of just killing it for sport? This guy isn't on anywhere near the same level as the assholes who go out and kill animals just for sport.

For a "guy" who promotes violence on here, you sure are a little pussy.

Didn't know people eat cougar meat?
If it was a threat to life or livestock I get it.
I guess if he ate the cougar that was fine.
But I don't support trophy hunting.

The fact you ask such a question only shows how utterly f**kin clueless you are, unless of course you already know the answer to this and are being purposely ignorant in a pathetic effort to be somehow rhetorical. Either way, it makes you look like a complete idiot....again.

For what...legally hunting an animal during hunting season? If you have a problem with it, write a letter hero.

If the cougar was shot with a permit and it is part of the yearly harvest quota then this shouldn't be an issue. Why are people outraged?

Why are people outraged when a few ducks die in a tailings pond, yet say nothing when statistics show wind farms kill well over half a million birds, including ducks and eagles, per year?? There is no logical answer other than enslaved ideology.

There is no shortage of the big cats.

Population management is very important to ecosystems and climate change reduction.
