No better way to bond with your 8-year-old daughter than to take her hunting and then allow her to munch on her very first deer heart.

This man in New Zealand is facing criticism after posting photos of his family adventure online:

Opinion was split under his post:

Johnny says he’s not bothered what people think:

Chloe has been coming hunting with me since she was eight months old on a front pack. This was her first deer.

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.

We’re not too serious about it; it’s something some hunters do with the first kill. I wouldn’t say [it is] ritualistic, but she is a hunter now.

I’m not a hunter so cutting out a deer’s heart and biting it does seem a little on the savage side, not to mention unsafe? It’s raw meat you’ve cut out of a dead animal after all. At least give it a wash first, right?

Not to worry though, soon enough we’ll be able to hunt actual humans for sport. What a day that will be.
