An Idaho Fish and Game official has come under fire after emailing friends and co-workers photos of a family of baboons and other animals he shot and killed on a hunting trip in Africa.
A group of former commissioners is now calling for Commissioner Blake Fischer to resign, CBS Boise affiliate KBOI reports.
Fischer emailed photos of himself posing with a dead baboon family – including a baby – as well as a giraffe, a leopard, and other animals he killed on a recent trip to Namibia.
Fischer went on a two-week trip to the African country with his wife.
“First day she wanted to watch me, and ‘get a feel’ of Africa,” Fischer said in the email. “So I shot a whole family of baboons.”
