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."

That liberal Murican scum is probably paid to protest! What do you think good people of USA here, hm? How many of those "protect the animals" organizations are there? Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands? And I bet they all eat meat, don't they? Muricunts are well-known hypocrites, especially this kind of pretending-to-care, nasty, vile, disgusting libtards!
Are there many protests against eating of animals in Murica, hm? I would think there are with all those parasitic organizations you have... which, incidentally, we from the rest of the world are paying for!
Such is the nature of that parasitic dollar system unfortunatelly -- you have to pay for those lavish lifestyles of disgusting, degenerate, parasitic liberal Muricunts whether you want it or not!
Minnesota land of 10,000 lakes and more than 10,000 flakes but they have some beautiful blonde women there. I used to travel to Minn/St Paul on business. Good thing I was already married. I know what they must do on those long winter nights anyway,,, you got that going for you Mr Manifulation. Plus 100 on your comments.
downarrowed you for the "they have beautiful blond women there" -----maybe they usta but take a trip up there now--up arrowed Manifulation ----
Who gives a fuck about a dead lion 6,000 miles away? 45 PEOPLE WERE MURDERED in the city of BALTIMORE IN JULY.... but it really doesn't matter because some fucking lion is more important. BUT, I think the DONALD's son is a big game hunter and watch them plaster pictures of TRUMP JR all over MSM early next week before the debates... Again, 45 people slain in 1 month in a city of 600,000 but who gives a shit, right?
I am one of those people who don't care how many pavement apes are killed. They are an evil menace. But I do care about the lions, which are beautiful creatures and endangered.
Smoke screen. Distraction with a major global media blitz. Check your six boys.
The people have petitioned their king... action is bound to follow.
It fucking amazes me that Cecil gets more attention then Corzine...WTF
+1 and by the way, Fuck Corzine
It is because the majority of americans are worthless, mindless dolts that think these animals are cuddly pets to be protected rather than worrying about the vultures that are overtly stealing from them in this very country.
Fuck libtards!
Fuck bleeding hearts.
They're all clueless, useless eaters. I cannot wait until the PTB pull the plug.
When you flood the market with a product, the value per unit goes down.
Well, there are 7 billion people on this planet, and those who use the 'product' are telling us we aren't worth a hell of a lot. Seemingly, most of us agree.
"It is because the majority of americans are worthless, mindless dolts that think these animals are cuddly pets to be protected rather than worrying about the vultures that are overtly stealing from them in this very country."
Actually, I just like lions more than I like people.
Corzine has his own trophies.
Congratulations to all those decent Americans, mainly women and wannabe women, who have just destroyed one of the few hard currency earning industries in Zimbabwe and some other African countries (after all, who wants to risk being extradited to Zimbabwe for a crime that didn't exist, while having your business destroyed at home). I am sure all the Africans who will be losing jobs over this are grateful to you for pointing out the error of their ways in not looking after Cecil, who would have course have enjoyed dismembering you for sport had he ever had the opportunity.
But it has served the important purpose of getting Cecile (isn't that cute, Cecil saves Cecile) and those other nice white ladies at Black Baby Parts R Us off the TV, as well as taking attention away from the travails of Hilary. Kinda like that video maker who got blamed for the Benghazi attack (by the way is he still in jail?) that Hilary had not protected her staff from and then not supported them when they were being butchered.
It's fortunate there are so many expendable people in the world to suit your whims. Must be what makes America great.
Zimbabwe is an out of control Sally Struther welfare project. The people there should be extinct from the 1970’s droughts.
"It's fortunate there are so many expendable people in the world to suit your whims."
Especially people like Palmer. But hey, at least his life is complete now that he's flown to Africa to kill a lion. "See? I'm NOT just a Midwestern dentist...I'm NOT! I'm a tough big-game hunter!" LOL...Walter, trust me--you still have the penis of a Midwestern dentist...
Stop all hunting, how would the American public prefer it die?
There needs to be a wholesale purge of these bleeding heart faggot ass useless eaters.
Fuck this society.
Why? So that gun slinging assholes with anger management issues and roided up bodies can have their day in the Sun?
Wait...something looks familiar here...
Ahhh...never mind...
#plannedparenthooddiversionpsyopsmatter
Where the hell are the black folks?
running around Africa killing lions??------
I haven't witnessed these special kind of somnolent Heifers so incensed since the late 1980's when ATM fees started climbing. I need me some baby parts for my NGO's August to Hell funding drive.
Keep the idiot proles occupied with BS issues which the market share seeking MSM is more than willing to provide.
Guy aeems to have broken the law. Let a jury decide. He should not just walk without a trial.
In a way Cecil's murder by a wackjob gun toting right wing American symbolizes the kind of debased aggression that the sick and twisted authoritarian sociopaths in the USA inflict on all countries, and people throughout the entire World. This constant aggression, and assault by Americans is wholeheartedly over the top sociopathy, and mental illness, on the part of the rotten-to-the-core "American way" where the cocksuckers operate with constant extreme aggression that has no legal or moral basis to exist.
It is high time that the entirety of the United States of America is destroyed, and these twisted NeoNazi Corporatists were executed for Crimes Against Humanity. My father had to fight Hitler, and my grandfather had to fight in the First World War against Kaiser Willhelm
Now I have to fight America and the cocksucking CIA, NSA, FBI, Whore House, Congress, and all the other neoNAZI scum just over the fence.
The word of the Lord in the Bible offers exhortations to 'be slow to anger' which is really sage advice when one considers hotheads and their behaviours. Unfortunately, the time for being patient with America, and Americans that act like that dentist, is kind of up IMO.
"In a way Cecil's murder by a wackjob gun toting right wing American..."
Me thinks the guy went "native" and bagged Simba w/ a Bow and Arrow. STFU dweeb.
I know he 'bagged' Cecil with a crossbow, but it is rhetorically better to say 'gun toting American' for effect, so eat shit, and die.
I can Grok dat
Hey, I like your style but talk is cheap, just whip on over here and kick start the revolution, you already promoted yourself beyond President for Life by being Master Of Universe. I'm hiding and watching with popcorn and beer.
Idi Amin would be in awe of you.
I already started the revolution back in March of 2008. Have you not noticed the Marxist tenor to the 2008 crash?
Marxist tenor more like castrati
Kind of like the savage ghoul left wingers that have slaughtered 55 million unborn children since 1971 via planned parentood
Oh, I didn't realize that the only women who have abortions are left-wingers. LOL...I would LOVE to see the actual breakdown...
So instead of a population of 320 million, we would have a population of 375 million. And who would be footing the bill to raise this 55 million?
wonder how many of the protesters went home and fed their kids dead cows and dead chickens.
Why do we need to go to Zimbabwe to hunt lion? We can hunt from Web Cams. Collect lion DNA then drone them all!
Seal Team X this dude into the same place w/ only his archery gear to get him out alive.
Give him coordinates to get to. He does airlift him out; he don't ... oh well. Lion food karma is he.
And how many Whites have been murdered in Rhodesa simply because they were White?
... and therefore white people should kill lions?
HuffPuff?
I heard he checked and cleaned Cecil's teeth before pulling the trigger.
And we should be hunting homeless people here in the Motherland. Offer rich Saudis permits for 50K each to perform hits.
Okay different is fucked up.
Shooting lions in Zimbabwe is like going to far off eastern lands for women and boys. If the need to torture an animal is your game your fucked in the head.

The dentist should move to a sanctuary city until this PC crap blows over.
That won't work. Just ask Cecil.
Can't ask Cecil ain't you heard? He ain't got a fucking head no more ... So you know uh mmm. Fuck Cecil
If Cecil dying means that Palmer never practices dentistry again and his family suffers because of it, then it was ALL WORTH IT. Midwestern white trash is as midwestern white trash does... :-)
All I wanto know is: When are Bush and Obama going to extradited to stand trial for hunting and slaughtering women and children with drones and taking countries as trophies?
These fucktards getting all worked up over some animal, where's the tears for the baby elephant that that fucking Marxist thug Mugabe served at his birthday bash, or the crocodile or the lion he had killed?
This is all a diversion from the imminent collapse; soon at an economy near you!
Aww C'mon--there's no shortage of peasant children gathering firewood!
--BHO
5 billion brown people in the world and doubling every 40 years. I'd say crank up the culling. Wake us when it's under a billion.
It's just a freaking lion for god's sake...
WHY NOT SEND EVERY AMERICAN WHO ATE A HAMBURGE MADE FROM PARTS OF INNOCENT COWS TO A FEMA CAMP!?!?!?!?!?
GIVE EVERY AMERICAN WITH A LEATHER BELT OR SHOES 50 WHIPLASHES?!?!?!
LET THOSE KIDS IN THE PICTURE PLAY WITH LIONS IN A CAGE?!?!
Americans can be such idiots.
I once had a girlfriend who's parents had a safaripark in south America. It's thanks to those parks where hunting is allowed that those animals still exist.
IT'S THOSE BLACK AFRICANS WHO EAT EVERY LIVING WILD ANIMAL!!
Americans are...
Any moron who defended the lion without thinking can call himself a idiot.
Why the fuck do begal tigers still exist? Because chinese breed them to make potency potions from them.
The fucking environment is destroyed and now we're crying about one fucking animal?!?! Billions died alreday for gods sake!
Dr. Dickless needs to be placed in a major sports stadium. Then, sell 50,000 tickets and provide each attendee with a free sharp pointy thing.
I wonder if Walter Palmer ever read 'Most Dangerous game'?
It is all the fault of people pissed about the illegal poaching of this lion ??
Doesn't surprise me. Dentists are scum.
And sorry for anyone offended. I speak from YEARS of experience with MANY of these uniquely shitty people who have attached themselves to the medical profession somehow, yet refuse to be subject to the same rules as REAL doctors.
Meanwhile, folks like me can't find anyone outside the "cartel" to legally do the work.
Dentistry has somehow managed to separate our mouths from the rest of our bodies when it comes to insurance. So we either pay THEIR price, or go toothless.
Fuck them all.
Yep. Despite a single mercury filling releasing more mercury vapor than the FDA allows (approx 2 micrograms per day) 4/5 dentists still use mercury fillings. When the mercury is delivered to the Dentist it's hazardous materials. Any waste is hazardous material. If the customer ever wants the mercury fillings removed the technicians all use oxygen tank respirators.Yet the ADA says mercury fillings are safe.Sidebar: even mercury from one filling causes side effects. Those are:irritability, impatience and short-temperedness.That pretty much describes the western part of the world, doesn't it?Feed all Dentists to the Lions.
ZIMBABWE wants to extradite the dentist ?????
What a LOAD OF ELEPHANT DUNG.
I've been to Zimbabwe. The only thing that the Fat Cats running that country want ... is more cash for their BMW's. Extradite a hunter .... unbelievable BULSH*T. They have been selling off their animals and taking in extortionate hunting fees ... for years and years.
WHAT happened to Cecil is a crying shame.
But don't give me any news about the authorities in Zimbabwe being "morally offended".
Everybody cares about lions all of a sudden.
Yes and moronic dentists. You don't kill a nation's pet and get away with it easily. Plenty of other lions he could of killed.
Always have, Africa needs to be denuded of Negros and devoted to being a perserve for some of the most beautiful animals on earth.
Facebook has revealed horrendous treatment of wild life and domestic life. Trophy hunter, one of whom is D. Trump's son, posing with their kills, typically giraffes (giraffes!), hippos and lions. Dogs being cooked on the grill, head intact, with a corral behind it filled with family dogs who look absolutely terrified is just a sample of what the people are seeing on FB.
May be that this is weeding out the extremists who begin making threats, because nearly every comment under a cooking-a-spaniel was bordering on what they would like to do to the person holding the hunting knife, stirring the flames. Thailand has a festival which specifically devoted to eating dogs. China...the brutal treatment varies from ripping their coats off of them while alive, and leving them wander the streets in agony, to being tethered with a hind leg being ripped from the joint (they don't have a freezer).. More than depressing, it made me want to give up.
Little men with big wallets are the weak link in the chain. The chain holding this masquerade party together is being held together by clowns who https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmRXH7RkCZQ require alcoholic beverages on a steady basis to get through a typical day.
Actually, only about 1 specific ex-lion and his relatives. None of these people care about all the other hundreds of lions killed every year. Out of sight, out of mind!
It is thought Jericho had been protecting Cecil's cubs.
It would eat them not protect them.
Wtf, fuck PETA
Wtf, fuck PETA
We're never going to hear the end of this one. I blame this on Hollywood and that goddamned Lion King movie. /S
By the way a 3 year old Palestinian boy was burned alive by some psycho Israelis recently but they're not people or Simba so never mind.
African Dictators kill and abuse millions of their subjects, get treated to a White House Galla, and the media applauds.
ONE lion gets shot, and a talk show clown cries -- the Nation goes into apoplectic spasms.
Yup . . . . makes a lot of sense. Priorities sure are lined up right.
That's right. If we lose biodiversity we lose the planet. One lion could be more important than 10 million people.
Hey man!, there are only 7.3 billion people on earth. Lions are over running Africa; almost 30,000 of them!
At the rate lions are killing people, there could only be 10,000,000,000,000 people left by 2050.
Greedy friggin' lions ruining the planet! They shoulda' been wiped out long ago. Long safaris.
Don't worry, lions aren't going extinct any time soon (certainly not from trophy hunting, at least - more likely from habitat loss and destruction by native Africans).
Nor is it likely that we "lose the planet" if lions go extinct. Far more species are extinct than currently exist on the planet. Extinction is part of evolution.
Finally, we already have lion DNA. We'll be able to reproduce them in a lab soon, even if they did happen to go extinct on us.
Calm down and take a chill pill. It's likely that white American human beings will go extinct before lions.
"Don't think of the dentist as killing a lion, think of him as saving 400 antelopes." - Iowahawk
@iowahawkblog Needed to cull the herd of sick, old and weak. Not - Bored to death. Let Palmer the Reaper climb Mt Everest hours before a major snowstorm is predicted if he needs a thrill of death.
Why is it that all of these narcissists have to go after the last of the rhinos, lions and such? They need to start killing sharks, there are too many of certain types of sharks! Thanks to central planning deciding that certain sharks can be fished and some can't when their research is a joke and they wont listen to the local biologists who know wich fish are overpopulated, like the tiger shark in the Carolinas.
If these geniuses have there way there probably wont be any fish left except the white shark, the tiger and that goddamned invasive smelt of California. If the spotted owl starts eating the California smelt we are totally screwed, you have been warned.
.
Palmer and his ilk are heartless bastards, miserable little sadist that get off on causing pain and misery to defenseless animals - all of them - going back to the over hyped Teddy Rosenfelt. Send this shit to Zimbabwe - it will scare the crap out of this lower than snake shit "hunter" - but he can spend whatever money he has left and can borrow to pay off the Zimbabwe government to let him go - and if he can't - well, good riddance.
Wah
i have a hard time liking lions, but it disturbs me to find out today that around 619 million animals get killed every 5 days to feed the world
now that makes me sick. I am not vegetarian, but i do limit intake of meat. I love tofu and i eat veggie meat. Every once in a while i will have chicken.
Unlike Cecile and her minions at Baby Parts R Us. Palmer is an absolute piker compared to them as they kill and dismember hundreds of thousands of babies and carve them up to sell.
Remember Baby Parts R Us is a non-profit, which simply means all the revenue goes to its staff, as they save up for their Lamborghinis.
Anyone who not massively more outraged by Baby Parts R Us than they are about the dentist is a fellow traveller in the babarity of that group and an outrageous hypocrite.
Hopefully Dentist Walter is extradited and ideally his punishment will be to raise Cecil ' s now orphaned cubs. Zimbabwe will create a reality show called " Dentist Walter - the once apex predator".The show will be a fantastic success and Zimbabwe will earn more hard currency than it ever did running hunts.
Eventually more hunters will be extradited.
How about Obama who burned the faces off of children.
The numbers of these critters and many others is so low that the only option is to ban hunting (except with cameras). Ten 'safari' tourists spending $10,000 is worth twice as much as one hunter paying $50,000.
Sad thing is this shithead dentist has handed a tinpot murdering thug like Mugabe the perfect opportunity over which to look like a legitimate ruler.
Pathetic.
200,000 signatories ~ 0.06% of Americans
I'll refrain from saying anything because I haven't read up on the laws or the issues.
You can do math? Show off!!! ;-)
Take the fucker(s) and strip them bare, both the dentist and the "other" poacher, then stick a straight jacket on both with a leg of lamb strapped on their heads(sorry lamb) and introduce both to the den where the female mates are, for a little 'one on one'. Fuck ALL sports hunters...do the same with them, too. Televise it every friday night on HBO. Take a percentage of the profits and beef up security on all wildlife sanctuaries, all over the world. I don't have a TV but I'd pay to see the carnage.
So who are you to pass judgement and what grounds do you base your terse judgement upon? Do tell.
Air it on FOX and have a hologram of Robert Urich host each episode. This could be great fun!
Why?
How many babies did he kill?
He shot a fucking lion, WHO CARES?
I don't. I'm more concerned about the planned parenthood Dr. Mangele but I'm a minority I guess.
You do realize that we, the west, hanged people at Nuremberg for the stuff that planned parenthood does everyday?
Fuck Cecil. Hope he looks good above this guy's fire place.

Maybe these things would not be happening in Zimbabwe if the corrupt and incomeptent government of Mugabe was not so desperate for "tourist" income from big game hunters.
So while the up front culprit might be the dentist in relaity it's Mugabe.
Jeezus, that picture (to the left of the former Cecil).
He looks like Hitler's oven designer.
The interesting part is that Auschwitz, from an engineering perspective, is a very poorly designed place....especially for a German. That is, if you believe what they say it was for.
The drawings of the camp don't say what we've been taught but never mind. Slave labour is enough to be put to death for so why the embellishment of events?
Question:
There are 70 million Catholics in the USA which represents about 25% of the country. If 5 out of the 9 supreme court justices were Catholic(56%), do you think there would be a stink about it?
The US the populatin of jews is ~1-1.5% and yet, 3 out of the 9 supreme court justices are jews, 33%. 1.5% of the peopulation but 33% of the court?
Hmmmm....

Apparently you've never been to Auschwitz or Buchenwald. It sends a shiver down your spine when you enter because it is clear how things were intended to go. All very true and very, very sad. Slave labor was too slow for their project. Besides, they didn't need THAT much labor and many were incapable of laboring after their time in the ghettos.
Open your mind Hyjinx.
We have all been programmed. I certainly was and so were/are you.
Waking up is hard AND unpleasant when you realize you've been lied to.
I often think back to 1990 when the Soviet Union fell apart. Think about people in their fifties who were brought up being taught that the Soviet Union was the worker's paradise, that this was it and you supported it because that's what you were taught.....and then it ALL FELL APART. it completly fell apart. What went through the minds of those people when they realized that they had been lied to ther ENTIRE lives?
Put yourself in their shoes Hyjinx and then re-examine everything you've been taught.
Cheers,
Squid
Auschwitz was not an extermination camp, Birkenau was
Cecil might look cute, but he'd rip your head off & shit down your neck for fun
Walter will be dead soon. Either gunned down in the land of the free or sent to Zimbabwe.
It's downright scary what happens when you live in an American democracy instead of a republic.
Tyranny of a mob of hateful morons that continually shift their focus from one party to another. Those in power have to oblige them, play along, and keep them stupid otherwise the mob would turn against them!
I wonder if this guy didn't look like such a NAZI whether the outrage would be any different. Then again, if the guy looked like John Goodman, the media would probably be calling for those FEMA camps to be opened up for all the bitter clingers. Then there's if a Snoop Dog look-a-like did this - it would probably be a non-story.
... as an aside, I hate hunting of anything for sport. I understand hunting for food purposes, but c'mon, isn't the head from the big game kill on the wall just another way of exhibiting a man's insecurity with the size of his junk and/or his sexual orientation?
... PS, a tip to the news outlets: Wanna see the bored housewife and meterosexual male crowd go ballistic - report that sources who want to remain anonymous but are close to the doctor say he's into online porn, especially kiddy porn. That would really stretch this otherwise filler story out for another week's use.
This is all about attacking Trump, who's son is a Big Game Hunter. It is the new gotcha question for the media. All planned in advance.
You're probably right but it won't do them any good.
The first media person to spring that on Trump will find themselves filleted and their head on his wall.
In one way Trump is behaving like Hillary, i.e. never apologize, ignore the outrage, just continue on. But unlike Hilary Trump is entertaining and he is also giving voice to the suppressed outrage of millions of Americans. So when the media go after Trump those millions feel the media is going after them and as long as Trump does not back down they'll support him.
who's son is a Big Game Hunter.
Whats the problem.
The son is clearly crap.
But its the son.
He is a big boy.
Can't hide behind Daddy.
Come on!
So let me get this straight.....
Planned parenthood is caught selling parts of murdered babies.....that's ok.
Some lion gets shot and everyone is up in arms about it?
I'm sorry but some society's are just too stupid to continue.

America needs to gather its dimwits and leap off a cliff. Please!
This is a serious issue about the priorities of a country and about the media driving such dimwits. If the media would do the world a favor (How much money will it take?), the media could drive at least 300 million Americans over the edge of a cliff into the vast ocean, the other 10 to 15 million are smart enough to start a better America, or at least take enough time to try to start a better America...
Starting bid; 10 dollars for every American who leaps off the edge of a cliff at least a 100 meters high. Do not want anyone to survive, do we? I think drive the lemmings to the Grand Canyon. Colorado river is dry anyway and zombies will march to the edge and jump if prodded enough. Hell, dangle a damn iPhone in front of them...
Oh if I was a billionaire, I would go broke paying for the cliff leaping lemming media air time and iPhones...
ummm, I'd like to bang the mom is the 2nd pic from behind before I tell her what an ignorant tool of a twat she is for the left. I could swear I see a bikine line.
Does anyone here realize how gamey a ‘long in the tooth’ cat tastes?
I give the dentist demerit points for skewering a half domesticated feline, not deactivating and destroying the radio tracking collar once he realized he’d fucked up and for hiring out to a low budget safari outfit too lazy to put him on something he could actually kill and eat.
You mean to tell me the doc didn’t figure out that something was amiss when the lion walked up to him and rolled on his back to have his belly rubbed?
What a dimwit. I guess he thought animals in the wild are like his patients and make appointments to come into his office and be impaled on one of his bloated ‘broad head’ invoices.

I've eaten some older kitty more than once and definitely not gamey. Perhaps not as sweet, but not gamey.
This lion fiasco is the best proof I have ever seen that America's millennials are a generation of nutless wonders who have never ventured into the outdoors. A company of 120 hairy chested kelts could probably conquer this country.
This sick sick guy named Walt Palmer is a prime example of what's wrong with America.
Well, just don't think of Cecil as a lion.
Think of him as lion tissue used in medical research to improve the lives of other lions.
There. Feel better now?
Since Americans are gods , they can do anything , kill anyone and remain blameless.
Mabbe , like Iranians & N.Koreans , American govt. should
DECLARE ALL LIONS AS TERRORISTS.
I'm with these pissed off people. It obviously isn't the world's biggest issue but hunters like this are useless pieces of shit and I'd give anything to have the legal ability to hunt them down. See how they like it when I shoot and kill them. How pathetic it is that you can't hunt hunters.
Apparently for some humans, the world needs to have all other species go extinct by their own hands. Let's just have a planet full of idiot humans.
Fucking virus is what the human species is and I wish I could be alive when it too starts to go extinct so I can sit there and laugh.
Zimbabwe is number 203 in terms of per capita GPD. That's about $5.50 per person, per day. Despite this poverty they manage to hold and protect 12.5% of their land mass in Wildlife preserves. All of that preservation work is paid for from Hunting Licenses and Permits.
Our well-meaning anti-hunting tree-huggers are going to kill this funding source. Then there will be no money to stop the poachers.
Unintended consequences.
