Is This Abuse/bullying?

[TheDevil]

I feel like this is abuse

The chap has since left the Love Island villa, but because he is still in love with his ex, not anything to do with this petition.

Is it not abuse and bullying to start this petition about this man?

In the petition the lady "Amey C" has said "He has proudly posed with an array of dead endangered animals including warthog and water buffalos"

Neither are endangered so this is spreading false information about someone.

The petition got 40,795 signatures

I feel sorry for this chap. Two people from Love Island have killed themselves in the past due to public scrutiny and coping with the public. Yet this woman is allowed to start a global petition to publicly scrutinise a young chap to the point that you want him exiled from the show.

If I had a change.org account I would report this petition for defamation, cyber bullying and spreading defamation.

Yes, I am a vegetarian - next question !!!

"Yes, I am a vegetarian - next question !!!"

Does it help you sleep at night knowing that you are?

[hereIam]

No, not particularly. But I'm happy being one.

a-h - good points.

[TheDevil]

Have you ever thought about going door to door with your ideologies?

[Mamyalynne]

HereIam if there is no 'sign this petition' box it usually means it's closed.

They are claiming 'Victory!' Hurrah.

Not for the animals but for getting him out of the Love Island villa.

TheDevil - // And ironically... two pints of lager and a packet of crisps isn't about.... //

No it's not - it takes its title from a comedy pop song from 1981.

Really, you need to argue from a position of strength, not simply type the first thing that comes into your head, as you appear to do.

[TheDevil]

Andy, i'm not arguing with your opinion, it's valid, that's fine.

I know it is - but thanks anyway!

Do you dispute the points I have made about the fact that this young man actively seeks our publicity and approval for his horrible behaviour - and then goes on a reality show and it bites him in his bottom?

[TheDevil]

"this young man actively seeks our publicity and approval for his horrible behaviour"

I don't think he does, these photos weren't pushed into our faces, he never spoke about it on the show, they were looked for and used against him. "The 23-year-old aristocrat claimed the controversial pictures were from his work as a conservationist, where he observed sick and old animals being culled".

Ollie has not admitted to being a hunter.

[Barmaid]

Why have a pop at HereIam who answered your question about whether she is vegetarian?

To my knowledge she's not banged on about this or tried to force it down people's throats. Plus I am not sure what being vegetarian has to do with trophy hunting.

But back to the original question it is neither abuse nor bullying nor virtue signalling (which has to be the most over used phrase on here). People can express an opinion without it being bullying, abuse or "virtue signalling". Just because it is a different opinion does not make it any of those things.

Frankly if you put yourself on second rate car crash TV it is at your risk.

[Barmaid]

"Ollie has not admitted being a hunter".

Yet he is the MD of a company which lists "hunting, trapping and related activities" as the reason for its existence. NOT conservation.

[hereIam]

16:50 No.

[hereIam]

Thank you BM.

[TheDevil]

It's the kind of principle that wouldn't be applied to say, Madonna. Therefore I think it's a virtue signal.

why get him off TV? What good does it have?

If you want this 'hunter' off the TV then surely you want people such as Madonna off the radio?

I dunno, it depends if your principles have gravity.

Barmaid, what company is he a managing director of?

[rowanwitch]

Anyone who kills for sport is beyond the pale to me. The world has too many humans and not enough wild animals.

If the young gentleman does not wish to have such photos 'looked for and used against him ... ', then the simplest answer is for him not to pose for them in the first place!

which should not in any way be confused with its 'sister organisation', the Cornish Culling Sick And Old Animals Agency.

[TheDevil]

I won't advocate public scrutiny especially when in the past, from this show, it has lead to the deaths of two young people. When they kill themselves people change their tune.
