Furious Americans Demand Extradition Of Cecil-Killing Dentist As Poachers Kill Lion's Brother
Update: The status of Cecil's brother is now the subject of a "dispute" between conservationists.
* * *
There’s a lot going on in the world, but you wouldn’t know it if you tuned in to the nightly news because according to the mainstream media, the only thing that happened anywhere last week is that a dentist shot a lion.
(Cecil the lion is the one on the right)
That’s right folks, Walter killed Cecil and some folks - scratch that - a lot of folks are unhappy about it.
In fact, hundreds of protesters papered Dr. Palmer's office with subtle messages like "rot in hell" and "there’s a deep cavity waiting for you."
As Reuters reports, Cecil’s untimely demise has the potential to put a dent in a lucrative industry by leaving a bad taste in the mouths of big game hunters, who may now hesitate before participating in this "archaic bloodsport". Here’s more:
Hunters longing to shoot big game in the African wild may choose a different target after public backlash against a Minnesota dentist who killed Zimbabwe's Cecil the lion just outside a national wildlife preserve.
African hunts are booked months in advance and pricey affairs, often costing $8,000 to $50,000, with approval needed from U.S. and U.N. agencies to bring back trophies such as the head of a lion to the United States.
"It has left a bad taste in their mouths," said James Jeffrey, a Houston-based international hunting agent with more than 12 years experience.
"They read all those books and it is people’s dreams to go over there and do it. Some of these guys have worked their whole lives to do this one hunt," he said.
Eleven African countries issue lion hunting permits. Of them South Africa's hunting industry is the biggest, worth $675 million, according to the Professional Hunters Association.
Americans make up the bulk of non-African hunters, with 15,000 going to the continent on hunting safaris each year, according to John Jackson, president of Conservation Force, a lobby group that says regulated lion hunting helps protect the animal by giving reserve owners a financial incentive to deter poachers and cultivate stock.
Supporters argue the money generated from hunts bolsters the coffers for conservation in emerging African countries that want to use their limited finances for social programs.
Critics see the hunts as an archaic bloodsport, hurting species such as lions, which an academic study in 2012 said had seen a population fall of nearly 70 percent in the last 50 years.
In response to the killing, Zimbabwe has now put a halt to big game hunts pending an investigation. From AP:
Zimbabwean wildlife authorities say they have suspended the hunting of lions, leopards and elephants in an area favoured by hunters following the killing of a lion popular with tourists.
The National Parks and Wildlife Authority said Saturday that bow and arrow hunts have also been suspended unless they are approved by the authority's director.
The authority says it is also investigating the killing of another lion in April that may have been illegal. It says it only received the information this week.
And don’t expect the controversy to dissipate any time soon because in what is either a deliberate attempt on the part of an enterprising poacher to capitalize off the incident or else an incredibly ill-timed coincidence, Cecil’s brother Jericho was killed today by hunters. Here’s Sky News:
The brother of Cecil the lion, Jericho, has been shot dead by poachers, the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force has said.
The organisation wrote on Facebook: "It is with huge disgust and sadness that we have just been informed that Jericho, Cecil's brother, has been killed at 4pm today.
"We are absolutely heart broken."
It is thought Jericho had been protecting Cecil's cubs.
And because the story obviously needed to get sadder still, those cubs will now likely die as well.
Via The Daily Mail:
Before his death there had been concerns Jericho would not be able to hold the territory of Cecil's cubs alone and could be chased away by rival lions.
Unprotected, the lionesses and cubs are now under threat and [must] move away or be killed.
Last week Mr Rodrigues, told the Daily Mail Online Jericho was keeping the cubs safe from any rival males.
(Jericho and Cecil in better times)
As for Palmer, Zimbabwe is looking to have the dentist extradited from the US. "Environment minister Oppah Muchinguri said the dentist should be handed over to Zimbabwean officials to face justice, adding that she understood prosecutors had started the legal process to make that happen," the Daily Mail notes.
And for anyone who thinks getting Palmer sent back to Zimbabwe will be like pulling teeth (so to speak), the public outcry may end up pressuing The White House into action, because as you can see from the screengrab below, a peitition to have Palmer extradicted has received the necessary number of signatures to warrant a response from The President:
So in the end, we suppose the only question for Obama will be how to explain the fact that, as we reported on Thursday, the death of Cecil, as well as countless other lions, elephants, rhinos and other animals, is solely as a result of the Zimbabwe government's corruption. A corruption, which the US government knew all about, and despite the fact that Washington knew US hunters were killing not only elephants but lions, the government's only real concern was the "serious risks that Americans could be implicated in smuggling and poaching operations."

Good to know we Americans have our priorities straight.

Lion, like sharks, shall be exterminated.
Let the Gaians preach their silly religion, but one way or the other I shall see this compound burned, seared, and sterilized until every hiding place is found and until every last Mind Worm egg, every last slimy one, has been cooked to a smoking husk. That species shall be exterminated, I tell you! Exterminated!

Lab Three aftermath
Meanwhile Obama kills Pakistani women and children with drone missles and brags about how good he is at killing.
Who is the biggest coward, bow hunting dentist or a man who kills people thousands of miles away with drones?
The Peta Putas should go to Africa and take on the real poachers.
Good luck with that.
Killing animals for sport is weak.
Those who are over dramatizing this issue should look into any number of serious issues.
And maybe turn off the tv.
Hey if he wants to kill the lion with his bare hands I am good with that.
Kill all the lions. Kill all the tigers. Kill everything.... All that will be left is stocks to buy.
If only those White people could stand up for something that matters... ...this is the kind of junk DNA that resides in the White race that I'm talking about.
and there never was a tribal black that killed a lion right----you are a fucking asshole
The Sheeples are so misguided; yes, they should be furiously demanding a head, but they got the wrong head.
Meat is murder.
Tasty, tasty murder
MSM---"As long as the American people are not paying attention to the Planned Parenthood organ and tissue factory, our job is done"
The Planned Parenthood story, horrific as it is, has nothing to do with this story.
Talking is one thing, doing is another. Blow all the hot air you want. Walter Palmer has a date with karma and it's not going to be postponed.
Thirty years ago there was roughly 200,000 lions in Africa. THis year they estimate around 15,000. I say feed the live sports hunters to the lions. Do it on pay tv. Send the profits to security teams to protect the balance of what is left.
Humans are the invasive species on this planet.
Lions lives matter. (More than people's lives.) When we have 7 billons lions and 15,000 people, I'll rethink this.
fucking a , you've got your head on straight.
the goons at ISIS are chopping off everyone's heads and the MSM pussies are flipping out about a lion. gimme a break. what a bunch of panty wipes.
Americans have murdered about 50 million of their offspring since 1973 and imported 50 million 3rd worlders to offset it.
That Karma is not a day postponed for the US either as we have turned the country into the hell we deserve.
The PP "story" is just that... fiction.
There is a simple Zero Hedge rule. You cannot be downvoted for quoting Homer Simpson. Never!
Read it again.
If we're going to equate humans killing animals to "murder" who speaks for the baby gazelles and water buffalo "murdered" by Cecil?
Fucking progs, ya gotta luv em ;-)
good one, lol
The problem with the whites, and most Asians for that matter, is that they have ascended to the point that they are able to livee out of balance with their environment, but haven't gotten to the point that they realize they need to. In Africa, they do, but because of us they sell out for our bullshit way of life.
... "furious Americans" should instead demand to know about the taxpayer-funded "secret" government airline operating out of McCarran terminal in Vegas ... it's called "JANET" ... find out what JANET stands for in this video report >>> http://www.businessinsider.com/us-government-secret-airline-janet-2015-7 ...
A single lion is shot the payment of which will feed a whole african village for a year and people scream bloody muder.. A woman is caught selling aborted baby parts and its .. crickets..
Very unlikely the money went to poor African villagers.
She was preselling. Parts of humans she and her colleagues hadn't yet killed. Supply, meet Demand. Such a cute couple.
Bush Meat is strong
And a possible source of ebola transmission. Please, not again with our idiot government in charge.
Miffed
Lions have ebola not. Never eat monkey unless cooked to an internal temp of 200 F.
So, yer saying that lions what eat monkeys, bake them??
Yes, Cecil was a well renowned chef over there...lol.
Well, I tend to agree but let a rattler, cottonmouth, copperhead, or coral snake show up anywhere I'm around and if I get first shot it's DEAD. I call that sport. Great sport. Besides, just toss them in the bay because my favorite food, blue crabs, love 'em.
That lion was a murdering killer, and all for a little poon tang. He goes into a pride, kills ALL of the cubs to bring the bitches into heat. The dentist saved hundreds of little lions by killing the horny killer devil. He should be given an award.
Those demonstrators are the product of wussification due to crowning 26 valedictorians in one class and giving every little loser with 2 left feet a soccer trophy.
SAVE A COW EAT A PETA
I would be okay with it if the dentista would go one on one with lion bare hands.
I think a bow and arrow is good enough since the dentist didn't have fangs nor claws and more than likely was short a few hundred pounds of muscle. Intellect and thumbs v. claws and teeth. I would even give him acceptable odds had he used Blackpowder.
yeah, and meanwhile, Planned Parenthood has been rocked by undercover videos of their abortion doctors and directors brokering deals like some kind of satanic cult for fucking aborted baby organs for profit and most Americans will have nothing to do with that. Won't even acknowledge how sick and twisted that kinda shit is. Bunch of fucking scumbags and the sociopathic gov-scum will continue to fund that shit with our tax dollars and not throw any of them in jail.
These sick fucks act like they care about a fucking lion but they ignore shit like this or the fact the scumbags like Hitlery Clinton admit that the original Eugenics, genocidal abortionist piece of shit, Margaret Sanger, is her fucking hero.
http://liberty247.net/hillary-clintons-racist-hero/
And they will vote for her to run this country too.
Cecil the Lion will be used as further justification of AFRICOM (US invasion of Africa)
#blackmanesmatter
Right on! america 1st
I'm okay with the abortions. Each one means one less Trayvon to worry about. Crank em up.
When there are only 15,000 niggers left in the world, we can talk about saving their species. Until then, guard the lions and kill poachers like this cock sucking dentist ON SIGHT.
You're channeling Margaret Sanger there.
Come on dude, that she-ghoul needs to jump on the highway to hell in a brand new Lambo!
No stop signs, speed limits
No laws gonna slow her down
Fetus parts, gonna profit
No ethics gonna mess her 'round
Hey Satan, paid her dues
Workin' for the Parent Planned
Hey Barry, look at her
She's on her way to the promised land
She's on the highway to hell
Any distraction very welcome. Brainwash media find their retarded prey every day, to hammer stupid news into their brains so they are becoming dizzy and unable to see the real crime.
I hated to be distracted by this lion thing when Kim and Ciatlyn are Tweeing so much important stuff i got to keep track of.

I think at this point in time that if Pakistan wanted to fight back, it's got enough firepower and manpower to handle itself. The lions, not so much.
A lion brought down by an arrow in late July makes international headlines.
For those of you familiar with astrology, tarot and the occult, you would know the ritual significance of this ;)
For those of you not aware, well it's woo to you anyways so don't even worry about it.
Man, don't leave us hanging, that has to be some serious brain farts and you must share with us. Is that some sacred Leo shit you're whipping on us?
I gave him an up vote just for the hell of it but why do I even bother to get out of bed if my fate is sealed.
We were in South Africa for a safari in game reserve Welgevonden (24o 20' S - 23o 03' E) on an open Jeep. Once you are amongst the animals in their own habitat it is intoxicating and you feel as an intruder. All you need to do is observe and use your telephoto. Unreal. Cannot fathom that killing one of these creatures can give anyone a high.
The night rounds looking for leopards on trees with the help of search light was the most incredible experience.
I guess the media needs something to hype while the Hillary email scandal heats up.
That's why those foundations fund enough chaos around the world which is occupying our minds, so the real criminals can commit their crimes unnoticed.

I don't know why this didn't get more attention, but lion meat was served at Mugabe's birthday party in February:

What happened to the America that taught:
"Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
And we also forgot the other: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
I guess it is all that MSM hyper emotionalism that is being fed to us on a daily basis?
How about we wake up and not buy in to it?
If you only hunt for fun and not for food then f*ck you.
What makes you so sure he didn't eat part of Cecil?
There is an old African tradition of the hunter eating a lion's heart after he has killed the lion.
He's a bored suburban dentist with too much time and money on his hands. Some how I doubt he field dressed his game for eating.
Cecil the lion skinned and beheaded. Look like he got cut up REAL good.
https://images.encyclopediadramatica.se/3/33/Cecil_pwned.jpg
Agreed, but this hysteria is uncalled for, to say the least. There are other priorities in this world that need our urgent attention. This "scandal" only shows how easily we are played and that's a pretty disturbing ascertainment.
What do you care if some jackass wants to pay 50K to kill an old lion? How much do you pay towards species conservation?
kill = species conservation riiiight
Yeah, I realize reality may be counterintuitive to touchy feely libs, but perhaps you should look into the population numbers in the US for deer, turkeys, canvasbacks, and then figure out why the most common large animal in the US is a cow, and the least, a grizzly.
riiigghhhht?
These nice people will feed grandmothers to furnaces when told to.
Time to start trolling these freaks
Or you could just ignore the "freaks". You know.. like normal, well-adjusted people without anger issues would do.
The Morally Upright IDF (Israel Defense Force) & Their Trophies
http://muslimmatters.org/2008/04/08/the-morally-upright-idf-israel-defen...
"If only all of world's combatants would be so morally upright and gracious to their “kills”. Witness how carefully these IDF heroes are preparing the dead Palestinian for proper burial….Israeli kool-aid rubbing off….
I should add that these animals from the terrorist IDF organization are not doing something abnormal. This is their usual style, as some fair-minded Israelis detail in this great article: “Kill, then Shoot“.
On a different note, next time the Israeli Lobby foot-soldiers tell you how inhumane it was for Gazans to celebrate the shooting at the seminary, ask them about Dr. Goldstein and the hundreds of Jews who gathered to honor, touch, and kiss this murdering terrorist's grave [Source: NY Times], who is buried in the memorial park dedicated to the godfather of radical Jewish terrorism, Rabbi Meir Kahane. Can anyone say culture of death?"
see "israel-trophy-dead.jpg"
Acting normal and well adjusted in the face of insanity in this day and age will have you end up on a dinner plate, fucktard.
Now get your shinebox.
Oh poor poothie kat, boo hoo!
Is this the koolaid drinking generation we all hear about? That's all folks.
Oh, poor aborted fetus...boo hoo!
This is a microcosm of what the hell is wrong with leadership the world over.
The US and EU should withhold any economic or military assistance to any country that tolerates this crap.
What is wrong with people, America your police killed a woman around the same time and you are all carrying on about a scraggy old lion in Africa?
Would you give me all the facts surrounding that case that you are privy to that lead you to draw the conclusion that 'your police killed a woman'? I may have missed something but I have not seen/heard about a jury verdict or even an indictment in that case. All I have seen is the MSM hyper-emotional 30 second blasts.
Kill the unborn - meh
Kill Cecil the lion - "you dirty, rotten, SOB! How dare you kill such a magnificent creature!"
What a sad commentary on modern culture.
This !!!!
There are 7+BILLION humans. And most of them are idiots. Abortion is fine with me. We should be distributing free birth control across the globe. Save a lion, shoot a trophy hunter.
Couldn't agree more. As I like to say to any human caiamity: is there some sort of people shortage I haven't heard about? When we get the total down to 1 billion or less let me know and I'll get a little concerned. Until then, yeah malaria, go ebola, bring on the flu pandemic. We need more open space for the rest of the world's species! I'd like nothing better than to see mass starvation in Africa combined with a major ebola pandemic. Just no flights in or out when the next opportunity comes. Let Africa evolve at it own glacial pace free of Western technology. In another millenia or so they might even come up with the concept of the wheel.
You first dickhead.
But lions ARE magnificent creatures, while human fetuses are not. And lions STAY lions, while human fetuses often turn into complete assholes.
The caitlyn jenner generation is truly fucked up
No! They are different.
Wake me when they start demanding public banker executions
Create one. It's easy enough.
Petition to introduce capital punishment for banking and financial sector fraud.
Also,
Lying to the public on mainstream media while in position of political influence and power.
Ignoring conflicts of interest in politics and finance while in position of political influence and power.
Contravening the Constitution while in position of political influence and power.
Profitting from human suffering.
Supporting or instigating State Terrorism, mass murder and war.
There's certainly quite a few that does warrant long custodial sentences I reckon.
Unfortunately, that news does not excite people like the emotional, illogical tripe we see spewed daily on the evening fluff news.
"Create one. It's easy enough.
Petition to introduce capital punishment for banking and financial sector fraud."
It's a good one. LOL I think they have this kind of punishment for financial fraudsters in the People's Republic of China.
I like to eat big sirloins in front of these peta assholes
"I like to eat big sirloins in front of these peta assholes"
Bon appetit then
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with eating meat but see everything wrong with cruelty to animals, either for "fun" (hunting for trophy included) or for food. Btw, I do eat meat but support PETA, ASPCA and other similar organizations in their fight against animal cruelty. If you call these guys "assholes", well, what can be said about you (and the people who upvoted you for that matter) ...?
Sirloin of lion? If not I think you're in the wrong thread. Seems like the killer dentist bought some PR reps to try douse the flames.
If killing the lion was a "criminal act", then lions must have property rights ...because all crime is property crime.
If lions have property rights, then so do other animals.
If animals have property rights, then every meat-eater is a participant in murder.
You might want to reconsider pursuing the law as a career. . .
Lion terrorist.
How many of these people even knew who Cecil was before the "news" broke? Smh...
Going out on a limb here I would honestly say 0. And I'd say if there were a 1,000,000 braindead retards upset about it I'd still say 0 knew the lion
#LionsLivesMatter
#PawsupDon'tshoot
So happy to see Americans tackling the real issues while in the background .gov continues their usual bullshit shenigans.
Hey look! Squirrel!
The silver lining in this story, is that sooner rather than later, the blonde headed Swedish meatballs hauling their offspring to this dentist's office in a shameless attempt of indoctrinating them into viewing this man as evil incarnate, will have a LOT more to worry about, than distractions about a 12 year-old lion nearing his natural end, being brought down by a dentist on safari... And judging by how freakishly upside-down this society has become, the great backhanded Slap can't be that far off.
Oh - and by the way, knowing the attitudes of the electorate in Minnesota, I find it extremely difficult to imagine that this practitioner of dentistry, that offers his services to the general public, would knowingly bring down a prized lion. It is likely more a matter of his guides misleading him to the quarry, than him making a conscious decision to kill this animal.
"It is likely more a matter of his guides misleading him to the quarry, than him making a conscious decision to kill this animal."
Well, if you stand on a Jeep in the middle of Africa with a crossbow in your hands, those kinds of mistakes are gonna happen, now, aren't they?
Misleading him by using spotlights in the dark and tying bait to a vehicle to lure the lion out of the park? sure.....
For once I'm with the baying mob on this one
Once is enough.
Lions are monsters, Bears are monsters, Sharks are monsters.....Given the opportunity they will rip you to shreds.
Man is at the top of the food chain. We are the ultimate predator. The dentist is the ultimate predator.
KILL THE MONSTERS BEFORE THEY KILL YOU!
Dude , you are fucking mental.
you a tough guy ?
tough guys walk away from problems ..
tough guys run from danger...
tough guys KILL when they are cornered ...
Dentist is a giant pussy with a clit instead of a dick that took a plane to kill " the monster "
please shut the fuck up!
Why is it impossible to be angry about police executions, banker crimes, drone murder and also upset that this dickless fuckwad shot this beautiful animal for no other reason than selfish pleasure? I can get disgusted about many issues at once.
The idiots you are referring to can only see in black and white.
On the same day that Dr. Palmer killed Cecil, the lion, Planned Parenthood killed 876 babies.
Murder, as it is a premediated action, rather than one's defense of their life.
+1,000.
Truth.
People have been both killing lions and aborting babies for thousands of years...
Looks like the dentist picked the wrong weak to stop sniffing nitrous oxide
The dentist was no hunter. In recent videos of Cecil, the tracking collar on his neck can clearly be seen. Any true hunter would have seen it, and would not have shot this lion. The dentist was just a rich weenie, cowardly standing on top of a baited Jeep. That takes about as much skill and courage as shooting fish in a barrel.
I don't know any rich dentists.
This was his wife's family's company , which was sold for a lot of money a couple of years ago. Do a little research before you mouth off.
http://www.ngjensen.com/about.php
The PR firm for Baby Bits R Us will be leading the media charge against the dentist.
Abortionists selling chunks of human beings that they have carved out of some woman's womb is not a big deal. But some lion dies at the hands of an idiot with a bow and arrow and America is united in disgust.
It's a funny world.
Downvoters for above comment. Please explain. Is it the abortion part or the lion part? Just curious.
They won't respond, they know you're right and their values are a corrupted as Lucifer in hell.
It's the bullshit false dilemma that somehow because other bad shit happens in the world, peoples' outrage about this wrong is not valid. It's OK to be pissed-off about more than one thing at a time. This thread is about poaching. Go to the anyt-abortion thread to complain about abortion.
Hey your right. Zerohedge threads always stay directly on whatever the topic of the article was. /s
No, it's not funny. It's dangerous how full retard 'merkins are and the world will eventually rise up. I can't wait.
merkins are full retard and this fiasco is glaring example.
Can't the Fed just print lions ?
I'll never understand the Zerohedge group thought process.
A dentist from Minnesota pays $50K to go all the way to Zimbabwe and kill the locals' prize male lion. He claims it's OK because he procured the necessary permits from some government bureaucrat somewhere in Zimbabwe nowhere near where the lion lived. The locals are pissed off at dumbass foreigners getting permits from dumbass bureaucrats to come kill their prize lions and ruin their already meager tourism business.
And you side with the dumbass dentist and the dumbass government bureaucrats?
Obviously pretty easy to con you.
See "What lion? Zimbabweans ask". The furor started in the US as a convenient distraction from a number of more important local matters. Perhaps you will be rejoicing at the destruction of one of the few hard currency earning industries for Zimbabwe and other African countries.
Maybe you'll put your hand in your pocket to replace that income?
Nah, thought not.
Zimbabwe makes an estimated $20 million a year on trophy hunting, which represents 3.2 percent of its tourism revenue. The vast majority of trophy hunters are foreigners and across Africa, 25-30 percent of trophies go to Europe and 65 percent to the U.S.
http://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2015/07/30/a-look-at-lion-hunt...
The majority of Zimbabwe trophy hunting money goes to the bureaucrats who issue the hunting and export permits. Most tourism revenue stays local.
That asshole rich dentist should have raised his own pride of lions and then killed his own dominant male lion. He has no right to go to Zimbabwe and kill theirs. I don't care what nonsense permit he had from the bureaucrats. The locals sure as Hell didn't want some foreign dumbfuck to come and kill their prize male lion.
How about Washington bureaucrats start issuing permits to rich Arab oil sheiks to come to your neck of the woods and kill your wildlife? Would that be OK?
Ah, you "don't care what nonsense permit he had from the bureaucrats". Very condescending of you to decide how Zimbabwe ought to govern itself and who in their country ought to make decisions about wildlife.
And you know what the locals want beause . . . you've been talking with a cross section of locals in Zimbabwe? or you read something that was pushed in the US media by people who also haven't been talking to the locals?
"Why are the Americans more concerned than us?" said Joseph Mabuwa, a 33-year-old father-of-two cleaning his car in the center of the capital. "We never hear them speak out when villagers are killed by lions and elephants in Hwange."
So are you outraged when lions kill people in Zimbabwe or is your outrage just for someone killing a lion?
Sounds like you'd fit right in with the Obama/Hilary party.
"So are you outraged when lions kill people in Zimbabwe or is your outrage just for someone killing a lion?"
Lions don't kill people for sport, you moron. Why would anyone be "outraged" at a lion killing anything? That's what lions do. They don't really have a choice in the matter...
I want the locals to determine who does or does not kill prize male lions. You think some guy washing his car in the nation's capital should have equal (or greater) say in the matter.
Sounds like you'd fit right in with the Obama/Hilary party.
millions of animals are butchered for meat consumption, dentist kills a lion and people are outraged -> people are hypocritical cunts
Meanwhile Navy solldier being charged for shooting at chattanoga attacker....
Didn't know that...I hate the country anymore. Got that General Wesley Clark? NSA? Fuck you savages.
I must say that I am appalled by all of the posters here on ZH that seemly believe it is okay for anyone to shoot a lion merely to hang it carcass on their wall. I suppose ya'll fancy yourselves as brilliant libertarians who support the right of anyone to do anything, even being a dead animal hoarder, so long as they can afford it. .
It is not ok but it does not rise to the level of being top national news every nite for 3 days. There are so many other more important things that could/should be covered. This story is meant to stir up emotions and distract people from the real issues facing us all.
My guess is it is a ruse to get Americans emotional over an issue that isn't really relevant to them, EXCEPT - one thing. Donald Trump's sons do these big game hunts and I would bet the MSM would hammer that home after this Dentist/Lion event is seared into the minds of Americans.
Bingo.
I knew someone here would look behind the curtain and see how this can be spun. Never let a good outrage (or crisis) go to waste.
For me, I do not agree with exotic game hunting. I come from a family of hunters..elk and deer (in the old days) to fill the freezer. Now that elk validation is so expensive, along with related costs (fuel and such) it is probably cheaper to go in with a few other people and split the cost of a ranch buffalo. My Dad called trophy hunters a god damned bunch of cowards. I agree.
I say it's totally justified because that lion killed many cubs for a piece of ass.
The problem for me is how in the fuck did a dentist charge his patients enough to fund this trip? I would say dental work is way over priced.
He should eat that lion other than that fuck it.
Meanwhile the fiscal frauds posing as Tea Party [Bowel] Movement Members are preparing to sign off on the next war funding package or lavish spending package to be anally birthed on Capitol Hill.
Lets get some justice for Kelly Thomas first, before any justice for Cecil.

Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
Is Cecil real, or is he Adam Lanza of the savannah?!
If he shot a lion with a tracking collar in it he should be fined , the PH should be banned for life. Period . I am a hunter! I hunt in Africa. I eat game I shoot over there. International trade laws forbid bringing African game meat stateside. The meat is sold to processors who make Biltong which is an air and sun dried version of jerky. Often native trackers and camp workers get the choice parts and nothing goes to waste. Elephants , which I have no desire to shoot can and do feed a whole small village for a year ,
These arm chair lefties eating pink slime from McDonalds have the luxury for now of thinking their opinions and they are the center of the universe. Get over your selves. My over under on the number of Chicago black on black murders on a hot sunny weekend like this is a dozen or so. Check on Monday. They do a running tally on the local news. You want something to be outraged about ? Start there. It is a jungle. It just doesn't happen to be in Zimbabwe. Fine him and quit naming animals. Or better yet, tour a beef slaughterhouse before your next T bone steak dinner. Not a pleasant place and I worked in one on the kill floor for three months for a summer job. Dirty smelly hard work . Man the fuck up America and get a clue. Your opinions don't mean shit on the plains of Africa.
still .:..and just in case , fuck you.
Seems like there is more Murican protesters about the death of a lion than there have been about their country's covert or overt aggression on countries like Lybia, Syria or Ukraine ffs!
LOL...I understand how the lion feels...he is also a minority hunted and killed for sport...he should have simply told the investigators that "he was afraid for his life"...
This shit is going on right in my backyard here in Minnesota. People have went full retard here and I might need to get the fuck out of here sooner than later. Here is some more shit, I was just admonished for not wearing a helmet while riding one of my Harleys by the apartment manager who Mrs M already hates as does every other culture that lives here. That includes India, Russia, Bulgaria, South Korea, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Japan that I know of because I have managed to make friendly with all of them. These people tell me shit about Mericans that we talk about here. They hesistate sometimes out of trying to be polite but I insist so they tell me and then I say "Yeah, well the good news is that at some of you could leave but I can't really very easily. I apologize for how stupid these people are."
Just the other night I was smoking some dope in private with my Bulgarian friend and he asked, "Why are you so different from other Americans?". I was a little perplexed because I wasn't sure what he meant exactly and he simply said "You don't think like the rest do". That is a compliment to me. I don't why exactly but I am always having issues with authority largely because they don't follow their own rules and are out to fuck me.
The mentality of Merican is fucking twisted. Why do you give a shit if I don't wear a helmet? Why do you give a shit if I smoke? Why do you care if I drink? I don't run around telling people how to live their lives but they just HAVE to tell me how to live mine. I have no debt so I owe no one anything so who cares what I do? I should be free to conduct my business as long as no one else is affected. WRONG! THEY think they care. They care about their debt-ridden fragile lives and fragile minds and the only thing that they can do is to piss their insecurity all over the rest of us who don't drool all day long. Whether I die or not is not a matter for public debate.
Where I live is a nice place and everyone has some money but it seems that they care how I spend what I have. Harley-Davidsons are very auspicious and it bothers people that I have two of them. If these people knew what I had in aggregate they would be even more pissed at me and I imagine that I would hear this, "What you are doing is wrong, you need to invest in the stock market.". It is the same sheep who care about some fucking lion in Africa who couldn't even tell you why the lion was named Cecil.
Yeah right. And the pet loving shit has to stop. I got written up for smoking on my top floor balcony because I violated the new managements policy.(smoke does not rise I guess) At the same time, the new management allowed cats and dogs for the first time. What do you think the lawn looks like? Yes, is all full of animal waste from them "walking" their dogs. Guess what? My daughter is allergic to pet dander. Well, now what do we do? We have some problems don't we? How is that going to play out? I have other code violations already documented with photos taken.
It is time to fight back and I am holding the ace card which is the pet allergy thing with my children. You all know that I have them in a bad way with that one. I don't believe in being spiteful that way about things but it is really over the top obnoxious now. I was told once, "Never piss off a patient man" which goes along with the Russian proverb of giving a man so much rope that he can hang himself. In this case, it is an overweight 20 something apartment manager who has a dog. I didn't tell her that being so fat is hazardous to your health.
Leave the dentist alone.
Solid

"Cecil" is a traditional, ancient African name.
It means "One who is easily lured from idyllic sanctuary into the crossbow range of wealthy dickless convicted felon medical personnel from the American upper midwest."
Sorry, major fail. Being left alone to ride your motorcycle bare headed has nothing to do with destroying the last few lions on earth.
I told Mrs.M in no uncertain terms that the fat chick manager wants to fuck me. I am not in bad shape other than all of the cigarettes and cheap beer. I have determined that women love men who just don't give a fuck but have some cash. Who coulda knode?
