A few very excellent points made within this thread, this ^^^ amongst those.
I suppose the archaic practice of displaying the heads of animals killed on one's wall comes from way back in history where either people's safety was threatened by such animals and/or this started as a way for a guy to show off his hunting prowess? His domination of the elements around him? His Machismo?
Whatever it was its an outdated tradition, certainly within Urban areas, like, where killing Lions and other large animals to survive (to eat and/or preserve one's safety) is no longer necessary.
"Rhino horns are a sign of wealth and stature in Vietnam" as cited by PatsFan is a similar outdated obsolete completely irrelevant to today's world thus stupid "Tradition". I won't be investing energy in trying to convince any Vietnamese of that though, like arguing with a Brick Wall (and an exceptionally dense Brick Wall at that) I'd reckon.....to try and convince a Vietnamese to evolve beyond old-ass stupid traditions....
This guy has had at least one problem arise before, as result of a bad decision involving hunting and then lying in regards to that. Seems this time he has really excelled, like, accomplished the PINNACLE of bad decision relating to Hunting. This guy just does not seem very smart.
What would your take be Sooners on how exactly a dude accomplishes being this stupid?
He just feels the Rules do not apply to him? As you said?
Thats all? I guess that would be possible....Arrogance the Answer. Possible also that the guy is Borderline Retarded I mean....
how does he not fully realize that this kill, at the very least the circumstances of it...40 hours the Lion roaming in desperation injured....was not gonna come back, bite him squarely in the ass and destroy his entire life?
The decisions people make nowadays....incomprehensible this degree of stupidity.
I am not sure any lion is harmless lol but why is everyone outraged over this one particular lion? why no outrage for all the other 100s of lions or thousands of animals that are poached each year? no outrage for those killed legal or illegally. Over 1million people on social media have used #CecilTheLion hastags and are talking about how much they hate the dentist. But how many actually knew of the lion before he died? how many of those people are actually doing anything to help protect the animals they supposedly love? $10 from each would have raised an instant 10 million to Anti-poaching Foundations. I am from the show me state and actions speak louder than words. Talk is cheap and all I see is people who want to complain about any problem rather than actually contribute to an answer.
I'm pissed off about the lion(I'm even a hunter), but so thankful there are abortions that are legal.
There are 7,356,371,448 people on Earth right now. Seven Billion Three Hundred Fifty Six Million etc......
You're saying, if not for abortion, there would another 1,839,092,862 (One Billion Eight Hundred and Thirty Nine Million....) for a total of 9,195,464,310 or almost 10 Billion People on Earth?
You believe there has been nearly 2 Billion abortions?
That 1 in 4 (the 25% you mentioned) of babies conceived get aborted?
it is a big deal because it's an endangered species... if there were 1 million lions it wouldn't be as fucked. I dont wanna live in world where there are no lions.
I am/was a hunter myself, as a teen. but every animal we killed we cut open, cleaned it and cooked it. No trophies, no endangered species.
- I have $100. If anybody here can help me catch a famous bass that is revered by locals...it's yours. I'll deal with the threats and bad press. Right now the only bass I have is the one I bought at Stuckeys. It's mounted in a piece of wood, and sings "Take me to the river" sometimes..
