karma. If you like killing things for fun how are you gonna be mad when god does the same?

[swisstopia]

Karma is a bi**h! Shouldn’t be killing animals.

[lil----lil]

Don't hunt for pleasure. Please.

[bittersweet]

I feel terrible for her Dad. He awoke to find her badly hurt. He was just being a Southern Dad showing his Daughter how to Survive by hunting just in case. Get off his back. (Texan)

trophy hunting and loves jesus? i don't feel bad for her at all

[DamnPictures]

She must have been such a nice person; the photograph of a dead crocodile certainly proves it.

[psquare]

Hunting is a cruel activity. Karma will come back to bite.

[heatherbeveridge]

Payback for all the animals she killed for fun.

[ivankaedinger]

Well she loved Jesus and killing so much. And now she is with Jesus.

[roordak]

She must've done something god really didn't like.

[WHoo...]

Every death is tragic, but how is this worthy of national news?

[WholeHerbs]

Don’t hunt animals guys, it’s bad karma

[charlesben]

She killed God's creation for sport; that is not righteous.

[somnuswaltz]

I sure hope she hunted for food and not just for the fun of killing animals 🙄

[billythekidder]

Hunting during/near a storm. Good parenting. Lighting can strike up to 15 miles away.

[ElverGalargaaaa]

Thats what she gets... i will never feel sry for those that hunt defensless animals for fun.

[Robzabest]

One of the first things we learnt as children was to not be under trees when there weere storms, so i guess they weren't really learning about survival but hunting as a sport and leisure

[Ohh_Is_That_Sooo...]

Which brings us to a warning the news should have mentioned, DO NOT stand near trees in the rain. It may become a lightning rod. Smh

[karina]

Eh, she killed animals in one of the slowest and painful way.

[aliceshannara]

Yeah... all that prayer really paid off eh?

Poor girl, science saves lives. If there's lighting, you need to get inside. Or at least away from potential grounding points. Just sad.
