2 min read

This article by Miles Mathis argues that former NFL player Derek Wolfe is not a hero for killing a mountain lion in Colorado. The author disputes Wolfe’s narrative, questioning the likelihood of a large cougar living under a porch and preying on dogs. Mathis suggests Wolfe’s story is fabricated to justify hunting the animal for sport, citing Wolfe’s history of trophy hunting, including a large bison. The author draws parallels to other instances of perceived trophy hunting and destruction of nature, such as the felling of ancient sequoia trees and the killing of Siberian tigers. Mathis criticizes the idea of trophy hunting as harmful to animal populations and questions Colorado’s hunting season for cougars, given their presumed low numbers. The article also touches on the expansion of human populations into wilderness areas and its impact on wildlife. Finally, Mathis expresses disgust at images associated with Wolfe’s kill and criticizes Tucker Carlson for presenting the story as heroic.
