Kick streamer Natalie Reynolds is facing backlash from viewers after broadcasting herself spearing a wild boar.
Natalie Reynolds is an influencer who boasts a healthy following across multiple social media platforms. She commands over 350K followers on Instagram and 56K on Twitter/X, with another 14K followers on Kick.
On January 24, Reynolds began a two-hour broadcast titled ‘SHOOTING ANIMALS FOR DINNER LIVE.’ At the beginning of the stream, she claimed that she would be hunting wild hogs using a spear.
Natalie, her friend, and two other hunters spotted a boar about 40 minutes into the stream, which was being pinned by several hunting dogs.
Kick streamer sparks outrage for spearing wild boar
The dogs had grabbed hold of the hog’s ears to prevent it from swinging its head from side to side, causing potential injury with its tusks, while one of the accompanying hunters grabbed its legs to immobilize the animal.
It was then that Natalie approached the squealing boar with her spear and carried out the task of killing it. During the incident, one of the hunters claimed that the pig was “killing my dog” and that she had to be quick.
Unfortunately, Natalie’s work with the spear wasn’t exactly clean, leaving the animal writhing in pain and definitely not dead.
As the pig’s throat was slit by one of the hunters with them, Natalie and her friend joked that it was at “one HP,” with Natalie feigning throwing up as she watched the animal die.
