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.

The media pukes scream the Lion King story from the top of their lungs so The Donald gets pushed off the page.

I doubt it has anything to do with Trump. There are a lot of other things they want to distract from. In fact Donald Trump will be tied into this story before 6 PM tonight since his sons have a lot of pics on line of their safaris.

I also heard he drank milk and ate vegetables growing up and watched Sesame Street. I’m certain there is a direct cause and effect and everyone who ever drank milk should be immediately jailed.

Somewhere, right now, someone is being murdered.
Somewhere, right now, someone is taking their last breath because the have been tortured and starved.
Somewhere, right now, someone is having their head cut off.
Somewhere, right now, a little girl is getting raped.

But someone kills a wild animal and everyone loses their freaking minds.

Was this guy’s family going hungry? Did they plan to eat the lion meat? Of course not. He’s a wealthy dentist who, when he’s not inflicting pain on patients in his office, enjoys inflicting pain on endangered animals only to hang their mounted heads on the walls of his man cave. Fine! If it’s heads he wants, I can send him a long list of names of people whose heads REALLY ought to be hanging on walls. I’m sure I don’t need to bother naming names and I certainly don’t need “officials” kicking down my door at three in the morning.

If he had been a donor to Hillary or Obama, this would not have made news.

OK, I'll say it - I'm glad that damned Cecil the Lion is dead. He owed me money. He owed EVERYBODY money.

He couldn't keep his zipper up and chased every alley cat he could find.

He drank like a fish at the local watering hole with Clarence the Cross-eyed Lion every night.

Worst of all, he was a Democrat who thought Obama was an alpha male!

Man, if he thought the blowback from shooting the lion was bad, this will really seal the deal.

Here’s the official statement from Zimbabwe Parks & Wildlife Management Authority:

JOINT PRESS STATEMENT BY ZIMBABWE PARKS AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY AND SAFARI OPERATORS ASSOCIATION OF ZIMBABWE ON THE ILLEGAL HUNT OF A COLLARED LION AT ANTOINETTE FARM, HWANGE DISTRICT ON 1 JULY 2015 IN GWAYI CONSERVANCY BY BUSHMAN SAFARIS PROFESSIONAL HUNTER, THEO BRONKHORST.

Theo Bronchorst, a professional hunter with Bushman Safaris is facing criminal charges (VIC FALLS Police CR 27/07/2015) for allegedly killing a collared lion on Antoinette farm in Gwayi Conservancy, Hwange district on 1 July 2015. The lion named ‘Cecil’ was well known and regularly sighted by tourists in the Main camp area of Hwange National Park. It is alleged that the hunter connived with the Antoinette land owner, Mr. Honest Trymore Ndlovu to kill the lion. Ongoing investigations to date, suggest that the killing of the lion was illegal since the land owner was not allocated a lion on his hunting quota for 2015. Therefore, all persons implicated in this case are due to appear in court facing poaching charges.

Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management as the Regulatory Authority and custodian of all wild animals in Zimbabwe issues hunting permits and hunting quota for all hunting areas in Zimbabwe so that only animals on quota are to be hunted. In this case, both the professional hunter and land owner had no permit or quota to justify the offtake of the lion and therefore are liable for the illegal hunt.

Both professional hunter Theo Bronkhorst’s licence number 553 who was involved in the hunt and the owner of Antoinette farm, Mr. Honest Trymore Ndlovu are being jointly charged for illegally hunting the lion. The two are due to appear in court on Wednesday, 29 July 2015. Efforts are being made to interview the other professional hunter, Zane Bronkhorst, licence number 558, who was also involved in the illegal hunt.

The Professional Hunter Theo Bronkhosrt’s Licence has been suspended with immediate effect. The lion trophy has also been confiscated. The relevant stakeholders have been informed and are being updated about this matter.

"In the jungle, the mighty jungle,
a lion died today". (to paraphrase)

So what? lions die all the time. So do zebras, elephants, rinos, hippos, muircats, and all kinds of species. Know why? Because they just die or killed by predators. Such is the natural order of life. Why should I give a sh*t when our society is maiming, torturing, and killing the most precious species on Earth?

Yeah, that's SO important while Planned Parenthood is killing humans in the womb and now selling parts. /sarcasm
