While most 8-year-old girls spend their weekends playing with toys, having sleepovers, and playing sports, one 8-year-old from New Zealand spends her weekends off on hunting trips with her dad.
Since Chloe was just a baby, she has been accompanying her dad Johny Yuile on hunting trips where her dad would shoot and kill wild animals like deer for food for the family, and the trips have even become a bonding activity for the father-daughter hunting duo.
“Chloe and I love our adventures together,” Johny said. “Chloe has been coming hunting with me since she was eight months old on a front pack.” As Chloe got older, she stopped just watching and started practicing at target shooting, and has shot a goat.
While out hunting on a recent trip together, Chloe shot her first deer ever, and her dad couldn’t have been more proud. After getting home, Johny took to the Facebook group ‘NZ Woman Hunters’ to share his little girl’s accomplishment.
“Check out my little pink ninja princess Chloe (8) with her first deer a young stag. Shot in a bush block on a friends [sic] farm last weekend,” Johny wrote.“Then she took a bite from its warm quivering heart.” However, his photos have garnered criticism worldwide for promoting animal killing as well as letting his daughter take a bite out of raw deer heart.
NZ Woman Hunters has since removed the photo after all the negative attention, but Johny was completely unphased by the negativity. “I’d quote the saying, ‘Lions do not care of the opinions of sheep.’ She wanted to do it when she saw a picture of her uncle biting the heart of his first deer,” He then added,“we’re not too serious about it; it’s something some hunters do with the first kill. I wouldn’t say ritualistic, but she is a hunter now.”
