     Please, someone, check for me that the media in the post above is marked as sensitive? It should be, but I'm not seeing it so.

     Humbaba was born on May 19, 2022, and was killed yesterday. Why did I choose to kill him? I wanted an animal to go in the freezer -- I eat about one animal a year -- I didn't want him for breeding, and he'd managed to rip out both his ear tags. So although he wasn't in any way a troublesome animal, he drew the short straw.

     He was shot by a local vet who is licensed to shoot animals in the field, using a 9.2mm rifle.
