"  THE IMAGES BELOW MAY BE TOO DISTURBING FOR SOME READERS Meet Kendall Jones. She&amp;#039;s a 19-year-old Texas cheerleader who loves hunting. According to her Facebook, she&amp;#039;s slated to get her own show on the Sportsman Channel next year, because a combo like that sounds like a recipe for success. She also hunts endangered animals [via The Daily Mail]. What Jones is doing is technically legal, and not all the big game she&amp;#039;s hunting is necessarily protected or endangered. In instances of population control or \u2014 like in the case of her hippo hunt \u2014 when it&amp;#039;s an animal that is threatening local farmers&amp;#039; crops, these animals are all fair game to hunters. Still, she writes on her Facebook page that &amp;quot;the first animal I ever shot was a White Rhino with a .416 Remington!!&amp;quot; and the selfies she takes, smiling over the bodies of dead animals, aren&amp;#039;t exactly endearing. The Internet has not reacted kindly. Jones has received a lot of death threats on Twitter (she&amp;#039;s since deleted her account), and a Change.org petition to stop her from hunting has nearly reached 10,000 signatures. Some people are taking issue with her hunting animals at all; others have problems with her glorifying this kind of hunting, even if it is in the name of animal control.    I&amp;amp;#39;m all for Red Raiders getting their guns up. But, in this case, #KendallJones needs to get her guns down. \u2014 Lindsey Bub (@_Bub_Step) July 1, 2014      I don&amp;amp;#39;t understand how people can talk about wildlife conservation and how beautiful wildlife is then turn around and hunt it. #KendallJones \u2014 jeremy (@jezc_) July 1, 2014   There&amp;#039;s also a petition online to have her Facebook page taken down, claiming it&amp;#039;s offensive material. The page featured pictures of her posing with her kills and smiling, with captions like, &amp;quot;First dangerous 7 game down!! One of the prettiest animals in all of the land!&amp;quot;     RELATED: This Guy&amp;#039;s Plan to Group Message 32 Tinder Matches Massively Backfired You Can Now Tinder With Celebrities Follow Frank on Twitter.
