The incident has reignited emotions about the ever-controversial practice of big game hunting, a sport that draws thousands of deep-pocketed Americans to the African savanna each year in search of beautiful beasts they can boast about back home. It has called into question a practice that leaves animals — both wild and captive — dead and maimed. Many who despise it say it’s a question of morality. Even some who champion it say Cecil’s death was disturbing.






9,000 trophy hunters, most of whom come from the United States.

Hunting isn't my thing, and hunting for sport REALLY isn't my thing. I don't understand the appeal and would never partake in it. Unless you're hunting for food, shooting animals from a distance just so you can pose in pictures with the carcass or put their head on your den wall seems cowardly to me.

But Jesus Christ, the public court of opinion mob is out in full force to destroy this guy and his livelihood. Why? As Gas mentioned, nothing about this was illegal.

It's interesting that Facebook blocked any posting about the planned parenthood nightmare that continues to unfold, but they leave this dentist guy as one of their trending topics knowing full well there are people out there who are trying to kill him. Frankly, the planned parenthood shit is far, FAR more evil and disturbing than this guy's lion hunting...and it isn't even close.

Thats because the planned parenthood which hunt is a bunch of bullshit

Extradite this scum to Zimbabwe and let him spend a few days in the National Park with the Lions, sans weapons.

Do the same to the Kenyan scum and we got a deal.
:toast:

WITCH HUNT? lol

Does bullshit come in bunches now? Facebook is a joke and demonstrates the absurdity of political correctness.

It cracks me up that people ignore what those doctors said on video. Instead they blame the video for being hidden. You expose them for what the are and they are so full of themselves that they can't help themselves and tell it all. So intelligent people are supposed to ignore what they said. Right. Oh I'm sorry should have said left, far left.

Is anyone still fooled by your "moderate purple" bullshit?

 

[SheriffJoe]

But selling baby parts for profit is perfectly fine.

Dismembered babies vs poached lions. Good to see the gaystream media has its priorities straight with 'Cecil' dominating this news cycle.

Liberalism really is a mental disorder.

I've got to ask...

Are you just partially stupid, or are you full blown vegetable mode? I'm prepared to accept either.

Do you know what the noun witch-hunt even means, or how to apply it without looking like a total dipshit? It's essentially a baseless search to satisfy some arbitrary desire of persecution, regardless of merit or guilt. That doesn't apply here. Know why? Because these people are recorded describing the process in explicit detail. How the hell can this be a "witch-hunt" if the accused have admitted their guilt? You are aware that selling body parts is illegal in the U.S., correct?

BleedingBarney's words above are all that is needed to confirm what I've said about dimocraps all along. There is no right or wrong with them...only that which does or doesn't advance their agenda. The minute they get some direction from their professional liar masters at Huffsuckandblo, dummieunderground, DailyKooks the DISGUSTING FILTH in the lame stream media, they'll parrot the lies.

Except there's a problem this time. The 'fake' thing didn't work. The counter-accusations didn't work. The 'science' thing didn't work. Then they point out that all surgery is gory, but forget to consider that nobody gets sick to their stomach or faints talking about open-heart surgery. Why do you think they are trying to track down and potentially prosecute whoever is making and releasing these videos? There are more on the way, btw. Count on it.

Typical piece of shit. Killing babies, great idea! Killing a lion, outraged!

 

[texansfan]

Obama just said that if he had a lion it would look just like Cecil.

Bill Clinton said Cecil is hotter than Hillary.

Fact: hunting is a coward's pastime, and no one has demonstrated that more clearly than the American dentist Walter Palmer, who apparently paid over £30,000 to gun down a lion to add his head to a trophy wall. That wall includes the heads of animals he has shot at close range – with the help of paid facilitators, of course, from all over the world – including a leopard, an elk, a buffalo and even a polar bear, who won't have to wait for global warming to be killed off.

[SUP]Cecil was a popular attraction among visitors to the Hwange National Park (AFP)[/SUP]

What happened bears repeating: the man, aided by several guides, did not stalk a wild beast who was a danger to anyone. The animal was lured out of his safety zone in a park and was blinded by a spotlight. Palmer then fired a high-powered weapon to injure the lion, who, with a steel arrow stuck through him, crept away and suffered for 40 long hours before the "hunter" arrived and the animal was skinned and decapitated.

It has been alleged that the guides also tried to hide the radio collar onCecil's neck because it contained a tracking device. You'd be forgiven for thinking that behind the dentist's unnaturally white teeth is a person devoid of moral fibre, conscience or decency.

After hearing the reports, PETA's founder called for this callous man to "be extradited, charged and, preferably, hanged" – not literally hanged, meaning that he would twist in the wind, but that he should face criminal charges. I stand firmly behind her. After all, this isn't Palmer's first time killing exotic animals, and it's not even the first time he has illegally hunted down animals. (He apparently violated American state laws when he killed a black bear in 2006 and then lied to authorities about it.) Clearly, he's gunning his way through the animal kingdom, and who among us feels that we live in a civilised society while he's on the loose? He must be stopped and brought to justice.

In a world with boundless opportunities for amusement, it's detestable that anyone would choose to get thrills from killing others who ask for nothing from life but the chance to remain alive. The animals whose lives he has so cold-heartedly snuffed out have precisely the same capacity to feel pain and suffer as we do. All leave family members or mates behind when they're killed, and none is exempt from grief. Cecil's death is particularly poignant, as he leaves behind two prides containing some 24 young or female members, whom wildlife experts believe may soon come to harm without his protection. So Palmer can add these innocents to his death count, too, even if he won't have their heads to grace his wall.

"Sport" hunting is a sickness, a perversion and a danger and should be recognised as such. People who get their "amusement" from hunting and killing defenceless animals can only be suffering from a mental disorder. We know that we should protect the most vulnerable and helpless in society, not destroy them – much less derive pleasure from doing so. Thankfully, those of us with a conscience are appalled by the idea of gunning down animals for the sake of a thrill or a photo. Interest in hunting in Great Britain and elsewhere is steadily declining since decent people prefer to hike, take photographs, kayak and generally enjoy the outdoors without killing other beings.

For now, we can all fight this cruelty by joining PETA in calling on Zimbabwe to ban trophy hunting and on Europe and the US to ban the importation of trophies so that the global outrage which this case has generated can lead to real change – and so that this magnificent animal will not have died in vain.
If you share my disgust, join me in asking the presidents of South Africa and Zimbabwe to stop allowing heartless hunters to murder Africa’s wildlife for fun.

2 more to go and he'll make the Fox Debate. And likely give better answers than most, if not all of the others.

you are a fucking idiot, that is very presumptuous. I have never said killing babies is good, I'm against abortion personally but I feel I have no right to tell a woman what to do. I think it's a shame that the father has no rights to block an abortion. now if planned parenthood were killing babies just to sell fetuses then I would have a problem.

so what are they guilty of? Selling fetus parts is not illegal if not selling for profit. No one has admitted to selling for profit and that's why the videos are edited. There is no agenda here, I support fetal research, I don't support abortion, do you see the difference? These people have an agenda to shut down planned parenthood and will go at lengths, which would be devastating.

Anyway, this lion story is evidence of how stupid America has become.

Liberals have no understanding that lions and other animals actually kill people. Liberals think the lions just lay around all day in the horror of captivity or something.
