The Minnesota dentist who authorities say killed a beloved Zimbabwe lion named Cecil donated to Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign.

Federal Elections Commission (FEC) forms show Walter James Palmer, a dentist in Eden Prairie, Minn., donated $5,000 to the Romney campaign in 2012.

I thought so! You’ll be getting a nasty message from Mika Brezinski any day now...

It seems odd to me that a local issue in a foreign contry has gotten so much attention here.

***********************************************

The lion was a well-known tourist attraction & evidently tolerated humans taking pics, etc. ..... and PETA is all over it, too so of course the lion is being considered the equal of a human being (other than those unborn humans in the womb). The lion was also “beheaded” (horror of horrors ... just like ISIS does to people except the lion was already dead). This is called “caping” where a trophy animal is skinned out for taxidermy, but of course PETA is absolutely hysterical about it.

The dentist who killed Cecil might as well assume a new identity & immigrate to a remote corner of the world - he’ll be hounded by PETA & the animal rights/anti-hunters the rest of his life. He’s ruined.

Yeah, well Pani Brzezinska can kiss my dupa.

I suppose this means it will be the subject of the first question to all Pubs during debate #1.

The world is upside down .... a lion killed & the outrage is rabid & worldwide versus people slaughtered ..... a ‘meh’ and maybe a slight shoulder shrug.

It is beyond disgusting.

These people are the real animals. It’s almost like a fun video game for them. Some thing to get in on and try to score some points.

How about a picture of obummer next to planned parenthood dissecting babies for money!

Also, the lion was named Cecil, which I can only guess refers to Cecil Rhodes, the terrible white guy who set up the country that was actually successfull until it became Zimbabwe.

This isn't a leap of logic....it's a space shuttle flight.

Makes plenty difference, he is a pub moron.

[Major Matt Mason]

If nothing else, this outs The Hill as another leftist media freak show that should be ignored, but we at FR probably knew this already.

[itsahoot]

Of course, the babies didn't have a name yet.

Of course they did, foetus.

[Theophilus]

I bet he harvested and sold Cecil’s organs!

[itsahoot]

These people are the real animals.

They probably use iPhones and Macs as well, go getum Koik.

[Theophilus]

How much was that in Zimbabwen dollars?

[McGruff]

Probably at least 50 of these

Based upon current market value.

[Wiser now]

I couldn’t care less about the lion.The reaction to this incident is appallingly childish in light of everything going on in the world.
