Cecil was an old dominant male lion. He had a short time to live, and a natural death would have been longer and more painful than the one he met.

Dr. Palmer was an innocent victim. End trophy hunting, as the Social Justice Warriors wish to do, and many of the populations of African big game animals, and the entire eco-systems necessary to support them in the wild, will be destroyed, gone to grazing and the plow, as Africans will not be able to afford them.

Maybe so. But posting photos of his trophies will earn him far more enemies than admirers. If I were him I'd keep this hobby to myself.

Persecuting this guy to satisfy libtards would have brought a halt to tourist hunting. To make libtards happy they would be putting their necks in a noose.

“If I were him I’d keep this hobby to myself.”

Do you keep your conservatism to yourself? How about your
heterosexuality? Do you keep your hobby to yourself?

Why?

IIRC, Cecil the Lion was used to divert attention from the murder of US citizen Kate Steinle by an illegal.

I may have my events confused, but it was clear the MSM was using Cecil to distract from something that was not good for the agenda/narrative.

Teddy Roosevelt, George Eastman and a lot of big boys were happy to publish their kills. It's just this PC world we live in.

I think zoos are the cruelest of our educational tools. No good reason for them.

That, and by selling the right to shoot the dominant for $50k ensures the Zimbabweans have more lions around to grow older and auction off the license to shoot, meaning more money for them. Funny how they never reported that!

I'm sure they have a good stock of his semen stored and films of him doing...you know what....

There were 4 of his cubs when he met his demise.

The beast of many faces.

Why?

That is one of the whole points of getting a trophy catch.
The opportunity to see that beautiful animal close up. WoW, when do you get to see such a thing? And like we already knew the media witch hunt is yawn, expected.

How many liberals are in the hunting community for gosh sakes I thought we were amounst ourselves here.

You make a valid point. But this is how we lose the culture war. The left has taken over the media, the educational system, and most of the popular culture. They work to impose their views by shaming, delegitimizing, and legislating.

Once we cede the public display of our beliefs to them out of fear, we have started the slide to defeat.
