I think that you may have misunderstood my position, dfg.
I am upset over the loss of life of the lion. I am also extremely upset over the complete disregard of human life that is occurring in America today.
Clearly what is occurring as a matter of industry in America with Planned Parenthood greatly exceeds what happened with the lion, however, the lion still matters. The fact that the hunter choose to kill this animal for the reason of improving himself in his own eye is tragic.
But I will also say that those people who have remorse only for the lion and none for the wholesale slaughter and selling of babies are totally misguided.
I think that mankind as a whole really needs to take sometime to look at itself and introspect. We are on the wrong path.
I suppose it is a case of all lives matter. Yes, human lives matter more than animal lives, but animal lives also matter.
We are making choices that show to us only some lives matter, and this is how we are going astray.
If we do not correct our course, one day we are going to arrive at a place where no lives matter, and then we are lost.
Hey I'm all for arresting the guy if he broke the law, and what he did was wrong....ok I get it.
But it seems to be a contest as to who can be the most outraged by this.
I see that you are trying very hard to get a rise out of me, but you won’t. Instead I will say this to you.
If you must cull lions that are killing people, then that action is justified. If you must cull deer that are causing accidents then that action is justified.
It is not wrong to manage animal populations so that they can exist as peacefully as possible with men. We are also part of nature.
But to make a decision to take a life simply for sport is wrong. If the animal is not threatening you and if you do not need its resources to live, then the right decision to make is to leave the animal alive.
This man had no justifiable reason to kill the lion. He murdered it.
If you feel that you must go out and kill animals for no other reason than to make yourself feel better and increase your view of yourself in your own eyes, then you are a hollow and shallow man, and I feel sorry for you, and I have no respect at all for you.
I sincerely hope that you are not such a person.
Kumbaya.

I do agree with chris37-the illegal killing of a tame animal in a park does matter-it shows a callous disregard for life in general-and I find that disgusting.
The comparison of infanticide-and using it for profit-to breaking the law on a “trophy hunt” is comparing apples to oranges-I don’t see that they belong in the same discussion, aside from both animals and humans being God’s creatures, and neither is deserving of being killed just to cater to someone’s desire to feel powerful.
The same driveby media and others who are so unconcerned with trafficking in baby body parts would be a howling mob if the body parts offered for sale were those of an adult who had not specified in their will that his/her body go to scientific research after death-especially if the circumstances of that death were the least bit suspicious.
The people at Planned Parenthood should be put under a jail for life with no hope of parole, ever-put them in the general prison population, too-let’s see how well they deal with THAT...
The luring of an animal out of a protected wildlife park and killing it in an inhumane way by some f’ed up individual whose manhood is sadly lacking is illegal and cruel-it deserves a huge fine-and he never, ever needs to be permitted to “hunt” anything-anywhere...
For the record, I am far more outrages by what we are doing in this country with babies. As far as I am concerned, that is crimes against humanity literally. I would be for prosecuting all of those involved for that charge.
I don’t know if the dentist broke the law to be honest. I am not calling for his death or anything like that like I hear that some are.
What I am saying is that I do think what he did was wrong, and that I am glad I don’t have to live with the weight of making that decision.
If I had to go to sleep each night thinking of how I killed a noble animal for no reason, that is the type of thing that would gnaw away at me.
It is very possible that it doesn’t bother him at all. I hope that is not the case though. The loss of the lion matters.
Hakuna Matata.
it matters because the research is also government funded, no doubt, and we are buying those “parts.” And maybe they aren’t all going for research. Maybe some of them are in fancy face creams. Who knows? Illegal isn’t stopping anyone in this administration.
Just trying to make the point this is such a non-story compared to the awful crap that is happening around the world and here in our own country with abortions and body part sales. It was (1) f*cking lion that didn't need killing, but so what? I'm done - have the last thought if you must.
They don't need to be 'pressured' into not covering a story they are simply waiting to go away.
Cecil the Lion is much more important, and has more rights than the real 'patients' of Planned Parenthood, who are now growing up inside rats in a lab near you.
Oh, and the media won't bother to show up at any PP office to ask questions, either. Wouldn't want to put a scratch on the director's new Lamborghini.
People who have a callous disregard for animal life generally have a disregard for human life as well-I wouldn’t trust a person who was known to cruelly kill animals any more than I’d trust a person who works at planned parenthood, even though that one is an accessory to infanticide while the animal killer is just a disgusting person.
There is nothing wrong with hunting deer, etc for food-I do it when I have the chance.
What have you done to stop the atrocity? I’m not flaming asking sincerely, because I am asking myself the same question. God has put this offal out in the open, none can now deny or hide from the evil at the base of our culture. What are we as Christians called to do? Pray certainly. Vote certainly. But what else?
You are the one behaving in a heavy manner, vet. I ask you to lighten up. I have simply said what I believe here as it relates to the lion and what is happening to unborn babies in or country.
I agree with you that in comparing the two things, the death of a lion by hunt and the wholesale slaughter and butchering of babies and the selling of their parts, the lion pales.
You are right about that.
We have a situation in America that I can only describe with one word. Evil.
But the lion also matters, and here’s why.
When we as human beings decide that some lives matter and some lives don’t, then we end up where we are today.
And if we do not undo that decision, we are going to end up in a place where no lives matter.
I really think that’s where we are headed, and I don’t want to ever see that place.
If he sells the lion’s body parts to legitimate medical researchers, there’s no problem... (sarcasm)
BTTT
I’d like to answer your question if I may.
Well, I don’t even know if what I have is an answer but, anyway, here goes...
Since I have been watching this videos, and in particular the video I saw yesterday, I have been thinking of things that are, ah, perhaps not rational or legal if you get my drift.
I am at a loss as to how to stop this. Our political reps seem to support this atrocity, and I have thought things about them that are not rational or legal..
I am really angry about this, and I do not know what the proper course of action is.
How do we stop human beings from slaughtering babies and selling their parts and making money off of this thus enriching themselves and furthering their own power?
How did we even get here?
What the Hell have we become?
I don’t even have any answers other than to pray. I don’t even know if that matters.
This is really troubling ;/
Don’t disagree, I just am amazed at the level of outrage compared to other things happening out there.
Ahhh...you make me chuckle and want to cry at the same time.
Prayer always matters and should be our first recourse always. After that? I’m not sure. I do not think and would never advocate violence as the answer, although thats how the other side would like to paint us and dismiss us. My daughter has at least been to several marches for life. Maybe the answer is to get more politically active and keep this issue on the front page for as long as possible so God convicts as many hearts as possible? I truly don’t know.
