L'Oreal. Because you're NOT worth it !!

[Scott McD]

Cosmetics giant L'Oreal has severed ties with the Belgian World Cup fan who won a modelling contract after being spotted in the crowd after it emerged she is a fan of big game hunting.
Axelle Despiegelaere, 17, caught the world's attention after being photographed cheering on her national team in the Group H match against Russia - with the image widely shared online.
But L'Oreal has confirmed that the modelling contract it awarded her as a result of her new-found fame has already been cancelled after a photo emerged of the teenager posing with a rifle and a dead animal in Africa.

As a result of her appearance during the World Cup, Despiegelaere landed a contract to star in a L?Oréal Professionnel Belgique social media campaign, including a 'hair tutorial' video.
But within days of the announcement it emerged she is a fan of big game hunting, with a photograph her Facebook page showing her posing with a rifle and the bloodied corpse of a large Gemsbok antelope.

The image was reportedly accompanied with the caption: 'Hunting is not a matter of life or death. It's much more important than that.'
Now L'Oreal - which is keen to promote itself as sympathetic to animal welfare concerns - has decided to end its association with Despiegelaer.


Respect L'Oreal

[k0nr4d]

What's wrong with hunting antelope in africa? Thing would have gotten fucked up by some lion anyways.

[blackmonsters]

How do you think things will work out if nobody ever shoots another wild animal in Africa?

Only naive people think it is even possible to exist over there without shooting animals.
Hunting is used every where in the world for wild game control.

Her full quote was actually:

?Hunting is not a matter of life or death. It?s much more important than that..this was about 1 year ago?ready to hunt Americans today haha.?

I have no idea how millions of humans showed up and then needed space to farm and forage without
getting gored in the ass by an antelope.

[seeandsee]

She is fucking rich already, she dont care

[VikingMan]

I am very pro-hunting but I would hope that anyone visiting African countries would do something to contribute to the preservation of wildlife than killing for sport. In the USA much of the money that goes to wildlife preservation comes from hunting/fishing permits. I doubt that is the case in African countries but I could be wrong.

[RebelR]

I have no issue with people that hunt, as long as the animal is used or it's an effort to cull the population of an invasive species. I do however object to the trophy hunting whereby people get to shoot an animal just to pose for a picture.

As for this girl, L'Oreal has a particular image that they want to portray, and the her actions contravene that image. They can do whatever they want with their endorsement.

[MiamiBoyz]

I hope that bitch dies a long painful death from the HIV she no doubt contracted while getting gang banged in Africa in between killing the wildlife there. WHORE

[VikingMan]

Of course non of their products are tested on animals........right????

Yep, I just checked and they are on PETA's "Do test" list. Fucking assholes, I consider animal testing way way way fucking worse than big game trophy hunting.

and there you have it.. everyone is a hypocrite, it's a fact of life. If that spoiled cunt wasn't so oblivious and knew people who don't grow up in a bubble oppose to 'hunting' those animals (it's not hunting, it's just pointing and shooting.. hunting actually takes effort), then she wouldn't have posted it on fucking facebook. If the only one who knew this was L'oreal they'd cover it up and go on doing business with this dumb bitch.

L'Oreal stopped testing their products on animals in 1989 - so now they're all self-righteous.

Before that...they had no problem torturing animals in their pursuit of the corporate profit.

Some companies that stopped have quietly began some animal testing in recent years.

Yep, even L'Oreal partially admits to the possibility of this if required.

From their own website:

The Group no longer tests on animal, anywhere in the world, and does not delegate this task to others. An exception could be made if regulatory authorities required it for safety or regulatory purposes.

In other words - 'If they make us do it...we will.'

[ottopottomouse]

Surprised nobody has suggested she was offered the job specifically because they wanted to publicly drop her to push their agenda.

that.. is still a pretty bullet proof statement. they have literally gone out of their way of explaining how they won't get around it

and that's surprising to me

[MaDalton]

i'm not a fan of animal testing but there's huge difference between ensuring product safety on rabbits or mice that are bread for this purpose and killing (sometimes endangered) animals just for shit and giggles like that c.unt does it and any others of those "heros" that need to boast their low self esteem

also there's a difference between hunting for food opposed to just getting a picture and a trophy

[blackmonsters]

I don't know her specific reason but it is sometimes required to hunt to thin out a herd.
This happens all the time in America with native deer.
When the deer population gets too high they all start to starve because the food supply shrinks.

You will see 1000's of starved out deer and other animals.
The situation is corrected by having a bounty hunt where hunters receive a bounty of $x for each deer.

So to prevent having to do bounty hunts, you can allow a limited amount of regular hunting so that you never get to the point where every animal is starving.

Simply stated : Limited hunting prevents mass suffering of animals

People who live in cities where there are no wild animals don't understand how these things work.

Nobody hunts horses in America, so here's what happens every time :

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x13...ng-horses_news

Notice that the horses are starving.

We don't have "round ups" of deer because we allow hunting before they starve out.

I know that under some circumstances hunting makes sense.

Hunting for fun like in her case or other trophy hunters does not

Hunters everywhere hunt for fun and trophies. They are allowed to hunt because it is sanctioned by their government.

If this girl was poaching, I say shoot her. Not even kidding. Poachers need to go. But if this girl made a kill that was sanctioned by the government of whatever country she was hunting in, what exactly is the difference between her and my dad hunting deer?

If I'm the game warden and I need 50 antelope taken out of the herd by the end of the season then I don't care if she wants a trophy.
She gets a permit just like anyone else who's going to help me kill the 50 antelope.

See, 50 antelopes are going to get killed no matter what. That's the part you are not hearing.

[chaze]

Yeah screw her, glad they stepped up.

And i understand that.

I don't understand however how a 17 year old blonde chick would want a trophy pic like the one above, regardless of whether she has a permit for it or not. I could technically get a permit, but that's the last fucking thing i want to be spending my afternoon doing.

It's clearly something she enjoys doing, which in itself for me is enough to say fuck her. And i'm glad L'Oreal dropped her. Even though they clearly aren't all innocent themselves...

[SilentKnight]

L'Oreal:

Give random cheerleader chick her shot at the 'big time' (the Rocky story).

Take contract away after revealing she's an 'animal hunter'.

Stir up debate and controversy. Tug at heart strings. Get everyone talking. Sympathy for the pretty cheerleader underdog...sympathy for animal rights.

Viral marketing that money can't buy.

That was 25 years ago.

And 25 years ago a L'Oreal exec apparently had the foresight to realize that it was more profitably advantageous to be perceived as 'animal friendly' in the public eye.

But they haven't done away with the caveat of possibly still doing it "if need be."

[CaptainHowdy]

She can hunt me down and kill me whenever she wants ...

Well goodbye

You don't understand her because you are not out in the field actually working with animals.
People with real experience in wild life face the reality that no matter how much they love animals they still have to kill some.

She is not posing with 2, 3 or 4 animals and that's the people you want to rant about.
She shoot one buck, not a cow, not a fawn and not some other animal that wasn't authorized.

It's like this : Two people had a gun and they both shoot and killed. One was a cop, the other was a crook.
We don't call them the same thing just because they both shot and killed.
You think the girl is the crook; but in reality she is the cop.

Not sure there's anybody on this planet who isn't a hypocrite. We no longer HAVE to eat any living creatures nor wear or use their hides. We pay other people to do the slaughtering for us. If I had to kill an animal myself I'd be a vegan. If I was starving to death and had no other option, different story.

[bronco67]

Aren't we at the top of the food chain? I don't get the problem? It's not like she took a picture with a dead white tiger.

Yes we are and we are also supposed to be the most "intelligent" animal on the planet so we have a choice to kill or not.

This useless cum dump killed a beautiful creature for no good reason except to have something to post on her facebook page thinking it would impress people.

Well, we all see how well you read my post with links to become informed as to why she shot the animal.

no, we have decided on our own criterias that we are what we want to be and there is no neutral judge to validate or invalidate our affirmation.

Also, yesterday i killed a spider... by error... yes, i killed this wonderful creature by error and now it is too late...
Yes, you estimate the value of a life in function of its cuteness, its value or the sympathy that you feel for it. This is a kind of racism between animals.

Hello, i'm from the VLF, the vegetable liberation front, and i'm here to protest because you just don't care about vegetables. It's not because they don't bleed red that they don't have the right to live.

Free the carrots, kill the rabbits !

You are right...I am sure that vapid cum dump also wiped out an entire colony of crabs living around that moldy ridden yeasty cunt of her's with Rid.

Probably also killed millions of innocent viruses when she had her anal warts burnt off as well.

I get your point now - my bad.

I agree - and I'm one of those hypocrites unfortunately. I could *NEVER* kill any animal unless I was really starving. I like a good steak once in a while but in my head, steaks are made by 3D Printers at the grocery store, and that's all I want to know about it.

I could *NEVER* hunt, and call it "sport". "Sportsmen" who use camouflage, scopes and rifles to kill dear aren't participating in any "sport" because they have overwhelming technological and other superiority over the hunted. Even worse, they have the gall to display the head as some kind of trophy on their walls. I don't call them sportsmen, I call them pussies.

Then of course, there's they biggest pussy of them all, Sarah Palin, who promotes AERIAL hunting of Wolves & Bears.
