Another law for the land of the used-to-be-free.

Maybe the good senator should introduce a bill restricting the sexual abuse of minors outside the US. Oh, wait...

I didn't know that big game hunting was an issue in the United States. I didn't know that American law was enforceable for actions occurring outside the jurisdiction of the United States.

Isn’t Menendez a baby raper? Why is the perverted dirtbag still breathing?

Ok, sad lion was killed - beautiful creatures and all that; predators who kill other animals BTW sarc/

One glaring reality to me (other than the obvious uproar over the lion, vs. lefty yawns for aborted baby parts), is how bass ackward this whole thing is.

U.S. Fish and wildlife suggests the a. Lion be listed as threatened. Umm.. what about babies in the womb being threatened by abortion and parts sold?

*excerpt*
“Let’s not be cowardly lions when it comes to trophy killings,” said Menendez, a new Jersey Democrat. “Cecil’s death was a preventable tragedy that highlights the need to extend the protections of the Endangered Species Act. When we have enough concern about the future of a species to propose it for listing, we should not be killing it for sport.”

Cowardly lions? Anthropomorphic much? More incidious language meant to deceive. Menendez is wrongly attributing human traits to an animal, but ironic that the left is unwilling to do the same for aborted babies. Humanizing lions, dehumanizing fetus to nothing more than tissue and parts.

The article goes on to say “Cecil...who was well known around Zimbabwe for a friendly demeanor and participation in a study that tracked his movements by GPS,...” Friendly is a human trait, again attributing human traits to an animal. And Cecil didn’t “participate” in a study...This implies a human awareness. Cecil was accustomed to humans, which actually made him more dangerous. And how natural was the pride’s behavior for the study anyway?

So basically, bleeding lion hearts are humanizing this lion in any way they can to focus emotions to gain pity. While on the other hand, PP crowd does everything it can to dehumanize aborted baby parts into something even less than animals.

Up is down, down is up. Sometimes it seems this mindset is just as horrifying as the video of aborted baby parts...This one lion, has the whole world in an uproar. Millions of aborted baby parts? Crickets chirping on the left.
