Woman says she was banned from dating app Tinder for posing with dead deer

A Vermont woman was banned from a dating app for her profile photo, which included a dead deer she hunted.

KGO reports that a woman, identified only as Nichole, was banned from Tinder after she tried using it on vacation in San Francisco. She claims it is because of her hunting photos.

"I opened up Tinder -- in a few hours I was banned from the platform," she said.

When she reached out to Tinder, they said she "violated the terms of service and the community guidelines."

"I cropped it so there were no weapons, no blood. My family, we are not trophy hunters, we hunt for food. We respect the animal, we respect the outdoors, we eat every part of the deer that we can and only take shots when we feel it's going to be a good shot and it's going to take the animal as quickly and painlessly as possible," said Nichole.
