Cecil the Lion

[Spicoli]

Any person feeling a want or desire to kill essentially a park mascot or any other animal in that fashion needs his head pulled through his own arsehole.

Yes, what about her? Giraffes aren't endangered species, I'm certain you could eat them. Wildebeests, warthogs, also NOT endangered, also probably provide great meat.


Lions aren't even endangered, they are "vulnerable" but not endangered.


To be quite honest Cecil was coming to the end of his life naturally as he was 13 and the typical age range for a lion in the wild to live to is 10-14....maybe he could have gotten older, but at that point younger males start to test the old alpha and in those skirmishes the old lion can be injured, killed, even in victory or if he loses he will be cast out and THOSE lions are the man eaters, the very dangerous rogue lions hunting only for themselves. Not to defend that guy's hunt, just providing hunting information.


I think the internet has piggybacked on the 24/7 news media and created a system of perpetually angry people. Right now this kind of nonsense is typically reserved for SJW's and the Bleeding Hearts, and they feel like they can get their pitchforks and torches after those who "trigger" them....but all it takes is a person with no regard for newsmedia/the internet to brush them aside with ease. People are doxxing these hunters, why? Intimidation? That would be the ONLY reason to and that is just as wrong if not more so because if something were to happen to one of these hunters then it's a human life ended due to the loss of an animal life....that is a very slippery slope

We should get all those motherfunkers naked in a game reserve and declare open season on them. Get whatever nation it is's local troops in and tell them it's a military exercise. I've never fired a gun but if I could get a human hunting permit for that shoot I'd be over there to get a head I could stick over my fireplace.

I'm not anti hunting. I helped out a family in Maine who live on wild animals. To be honest I don't enjoy it and haven't done it in years but I was visiting them, they were low on meat, the season was closing and they know I'm a good shot so yes I got them a deer.

Now this guy IMO is an idiot. I may be biased as I find lions to be one of the more majestic animals in the world. They may not be endangered but their population is dwindling and they are poached. The population decline in these animals are of concern.

I think this dentist is an idiot but in his defense he spent a lot of money getting permits, working with locals and at them time his guides told him he was acting legally. He had no intent to break the law or poach. Now as others have said I don't think this guy's life should be ruined for what he did. He's getting death threats and I doubt even if he had a year I don't think the guy could finish reading all the negative stuff people have been writing on internet. The guy screwed up, was dumb to shoot such a majestic protected animal but it's over, I don't think he would ever do it again, I'm sure he wishes he hadn't, let's let him live now and it's ridiculous to make death threats against People if you don't agree with animals being killed.

Warthogs probably provide pretty good meat, although I doubt she eats any of it. I seriously doubt she ate any giraffe, and frankly I wouldn't order giraffe meat even at an exotic restaurant. Yes... the media is pretty obnoxious on this type of issue, and LOL at the image of triggering a mob of pitchforks and torches. However, it's just as true that as sure as there is the media slobbering at any opportunity to sensationalize a story and create a feeding frenzy..... there's also plenty of morons out there who like to play the copycat game. "Duh..... well, if so-and-so can go out and shoot 'imself a wild lion, then... duh... so can I." It's unfortunate, but true. Rationalizing about Cecil being close to the end of his useful life is a "great defense"... but also fuel for the copycat morons who now will put shooting a lion on their bucket list.
