The Hunting Collective

Ep. 49: Trophy Animals, the Mainstream Media and Hunting "Scandals"

On this week's podcast I'm joined by MeatEater colleagues <a href="https://www.themeateater.com/authors/ryancallaghan">Ryan Callaghan</a>, <a href="https://www.themeateater.com/authors/janisputelis">Janis Putelis</a> and <a href="https://www.themeateater.com/authors/sam-lungren">Sam Lungren</a>. We sat down in our offices for an editorial meeting of sorts to review the most recent hunting scandal in the mainstream media. We're using the new MeatEater Scandal Assessment Chart to help determine the validity of the national media coverage and the anti-hunting outrage when a Texas banking executive paid $110,000 to kill a Astore markhor in Pakistan. Connect with <a href="https://www.themeateater.com/authors/mark-kenyon">Ben</a> and <a href="https://www.themeateater.com/">MeatEater</a>Ben on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bennyob301/?hl=en">Instagram</a>MeatEater on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/meateater">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StevenRinellaMeatEater/">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/MeatEaterTV?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Twitter</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAaa0mleeU128Ad5iM1RFIg">Youtube</a>Shop <a href="https://store.themeateater.com/">MeatEater Merch</a> Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
