Eva Shockey appeared on Tomi Lahren’s show "Tomi Lahren Is Fearless" to discuss her lifelong practice of hunting bears. She explained that she hunts them due to overpopulation issues and conservation needs, but noted that eating bear meat is not her preference, describing it as flavorful in an unpleasant way. Shockey prefers donating the meat to local communities rather than consuming it herself, favoring other game meats like elk.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
