Parisian feathers have been ruffled by the appearance of the unlikely new darling of the hunting world, a blonde, gun-toting 23-year old French law student whose face has been plastered over metro billboards to promote a documentary streaming channel.

Johanna Clermont, who reportedly changed her surname due to threats, has become one of the biggest “influencers” in the Gallic hunting world, with 300,000 followers on social media, where she promotes a string of gun and knife brands and poses with long blond locks beside her latest kills.

Her profile reached new heights on Tuesday when she featured in a billboard campaign for Zone 300, dubbed “the hunting Netflix” channel in Paris and a string of other cities around France.

“Johanna is the dream face for hunters,” said Pierre Rigaux, anti-hunting wildlife activist. “Young and a woman very far from the reality of the hunter” in the male-dominated blood sport.

1. There is always money to be made, promoting minority views.

It's capitalism!

2. Something tells me she's not hunting to put food on the table.

4. Almost certainly not. But if she does in fact eat whatever she kills, or feed someone else,

(the article doeesn't address the issue) does it really matter?

What's the ethical difference between shooting a duck yourself or paying someone to kill it for you so you can buy it in the supermarket?

5. Recreational killing is

always wrong, no matter what the reason.

6. My father loved duck hunting. We always ate them, but we certainly could have bought all

our meat from the store. He even enjoyed himself when he didn't get anything (but liked it quite a bit more when he did).

I tried it myself just once. I got cold and wet, and shot a couple of ducks. Frnakly I would have rather been home reading a book.

Do I think my father did anything the least bit wrong?

Nope.
