Female hunter who has killed lions, zebras, bears & crocodiles branded ‘murderer’ – but she says I’m not sorry
A FEMALE hunter dubbed “murderer” has killed dozens of wild animals including zebras and bears but claims it was for a good cause.
Michaela Fialova has now teamed up with her new boyfriend, Miroslav Trauer, to hunt down even more beasts.
The model first caused a stir when she revealed her favourite pastime during appearance on ITV‘s This Morning.
She has since been dubbed a “murderer” and received death threats from viewers but that doesn’t deter her from continuing.
She has met her new beau, Miroslav Trauer, through their shared love for hunting and the couple went on to stalk more prey together.
Michaela believes that by killing animals they are actually helping to preserve wildlife.
Although they occasionally kill for food, the couple mostly participates in conservation hunting – aimed at keeping animal population from overcrowding.
Despite constant backlash online, the pair views criticism as part of being a hunter.
Michaela said: “People often say we should die, give us death threats and insults, but it’s all part of it.
“We are both hunters, have the same beliefs and think that animals belong to nature.
“But hunting done properly helps conservation – so we’ve teamed up to help [these efforts] together.”
Michaela has killed many wild animals including lions, zebras, giraffes, crocodiles and impalas as part of wildlife management.
Since teaming up with Miroslav, the two have brought down bighorn sheep, foxes and wild birds – which they use for meat.
The hunter says she draws the line at poaching – especially in South Africa – which is where she originally met her partner a few years ago.
Their passion for anti-poaching protection has not only blossomed into their love story but also, a training project to help patrols in the jungle.
She said: “I [met him while I] was filming some guys who are risking their lives to protect these precious wild creatures, but they had very poor equipment and training.
“I tried to help by looking for someone who could do this properly – such as those in the military.”
Miroslav – who was a sergeant in the jungle at the time – had volunteered to help the rangers and the two fell in love in the process.
He had served for three years against poachers and agreed with Michaela’s sentiments on hunting.
Michaela said: “Now, we are an action couple who hunt and shoot together.
“In our free time, we go to places where rangers need to be trained by professionals to be more efficient and it’s our way to help wildlife.
“We also film a lot of survival videos [to help those in the jungle].”
Although the pair have dubbed themselves a “hunting couple” they try to keep their private life away from the limelight – rarely sharing images of themselves together.
In one rare image of the duo, they can be seen posing behind a dead fox.
Users have flocked to the comments to share their reactions with many people blasting the killing.
One person said: “Photos of animal killing are not really in.”
Someone else commented: “Really manly of you to shoot a little fox.”
“Bad luck to kill a fox,” another person added.
Others are more on board with the hobby.
“Good luck to the hunt! Little beast needs fox hunters. If only there were more hunters who would hunt with their brains and not with their stomachs,” someone commented.
Another person added: “Fox is harmful […] it hunts small game and I also often a carrier of various disease…so good job.”
Michaela’s passion was sparked when she hunted her first deer at only 13 years old.
It has grown into a full hobby when the model moved to South Africa from her native Czech Republic in 2013.
She claims people have tried to “ban” her from the country over the years.
The hunter claims that people are “uneducated” and urges those who call her names to do their research.
While some criticise her hobby, Michaela believes she is saving animals from extinction by shooting sick beats who could be spreading diseases.
She added: “Lots of people say hunting is fun – but what about it is fun?
“Do you think that shooting, dragging, skinning, gutting and meat processing an animal is fun?
“It’s important to have the correct information about hunting.
“In South Africa, around 80% of this pays for the wild animals to be there – if they lose value, then cattle will replace them.
“This would be devastating for wildlife.”
