Chavit Singson Kills Lion on Birthday

According to the report, Singson went to the Kalahari Desert, which extends 900,000 square kilometers and covers much of Botswana and parts of Namibia and South Africa, to hunt wild animals.

Singson, like all other hunters, waited for about a year to get his shooting license, it said.

"His hunting rifle took down a male lion and an antelope, highly valued targets. Needless to say, he couldn't be happier. His feats were celebrated in his birthday bash in Spear Safari, also in the savannah. An image of his prized catch is printed onto his cake, making the celebration go down in history as one of the most memorable," the report said.

Meanwhile, an online petition at Change.org is asking Singson and his family to stop hunting wild ducks.

The petition, which has so far garnered over 600 signatures, started after photos of Singson and his daughter, Richelle, hunting wild ducks in Ilocos Sur went viral online early this month.

The Wild Bird Club of the Philippines said the Singsons have "shown a blatant disregard for our country's wildlife laws and the welfare of our wildlife by advocating the hunting of protected species and posting photos of their father-daughter hunting spree on Facebook and Instagram."

"We ask former Gov. Chavit Singson and his daughter Richelle Singson to stop promoting, advocating, and practicing hunting of Philippine wildlife. We hope they will instead promote the protection and conservation of wildlife and their habitat," the group said.

ABS-CBN News Channel tried to contact the former governor to get his reaction but he has not been answering the calls.

    1. Photoshopped na Ito! Ito ung pic nung babaeng foreign journalist na bumaril dun sa Leon ganito din kasi ang position nung lion sa pic. Ung mga wild ducks Lang natin dito na endangered ang binabaril ng Masong Ito at ng anak nyang babae! Pero Kung totoo yan e wala pa din akong magagawa.

  7. I know it's legal there but kawawa naman yung lion at antelope it would have been a much better headline if it read Chavit Singson Kills Himself on Birthday. Mas may value ang buhay ng lion kesa sa kanya.

  24. People who need to kill living beings in order to be "happy" must have deep psychological issues. He probably feels insecure and inadequate - mentally or physically or both - about himself and he feels empowered by killing. Conclusion: maliit ang _i_i niya.

  25. May the lion and antelope rest their soul :( kawawa naman.. Chavit must have done all but still looking for his happiness by killing. What a disturbed little old man!

  34. I think it should be the other way around, Lion, still alive and Chavit on the ground.

    I really feel bad for the lion, why is this still legal?

  44. This is animal cruelty! Cguro understandable pa if he did this for self-defense coz he was attcked by the lion but for mere entertainment/fun?! i wish he & his daughter will be prosecuted for hunting those wild ducks. my pnagmamalaki pa nman syang zoo,Baluarte,so he has this image na animal lover sya.& evrytime i see him on tv w/his tigers,e tuwang-tuwa pa nman ako.
