This is an extra episode of the Hunt To Eat Show. Peter Spencer was a father, partner, brother, son, provider, and hunter. In this episode, Demiesha Dennis of Brown Girl Outdoor World and Lydia Parker of Hunters Of Color tell us about what is known of Peter Spencer's story and talk about the need for anti-racism in the outdoors. Peter Spencer was a Black man who was found dead with nine bullet wounds after joining a group of white men in an outdoors activity in December 2021. While the investigation is ongoing, there is action we can all take right now and carry forward all the time. Demiesha and Lydia talk about the need to always center the humanity of Black people and even more so those who are victims of violence. As a hunting community, we need to take collective action to create a world where hunting and the outdoors are safe for Black folks. We need to actively listen to Black voices and what they tell us about what safety means for them. Please join us in listening to Demiesha and Lydia about what we need to do as a hunting community to ensure that the outdoors are for everyone. We felt it was important to use this platform to amplify this story and the voices we need to hear at this time.
