More of a man than Obama (...or Michelle, for that matter.) No WONDER they had to take him out.

Washington (AFP) - Urging Americans to curb trophy killings and not be "cowardly lions," US lawmakers introduced legislation Friday that would prevent the kinds of controversial hunting that brought down Zimbabwe's beloved beast Cecil.
Senate Democrat Robert Menendez's bill would expand the import-export restrictions of the 1973 Endangered Species Act to include animals that are not just listed as endangered or threatened, but those that are "proposed to be listed" as such.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service, which maintains the US endangered species list, last October proposed to list the African lion as threatened due to habitat loss and increased human-lion conflicts.

Cecil’s liver went to stem cell research. This whole issue is highly and selectively edited./s
Saving Lions by Killing Them...
Robert Menendez obviously doesn’t care about the Africans or their economic well being.

Unbelievable. This scumbag is under indictment on federal charges for corruption, yet still has the gall to waste the time of the US Senate on this kind of thing? I mean, geez, I’m all for protecting animals against useless slaughter, but that can be handled in ways other than getting the federal government involved at the highest legislative levels.
A democrat, of course.
How long before they try to get monkeys declared humans?
The millionaires ought to stop all hunting in Rhodesia.
Totally manufactured story.
They’re now attempting to keep this distraction in the headlines by getting the US Fish and Wildlife Service involved when they have absolutely no jurisdiction. Just more feigned outrage.
Our culture has now become so lacking in common sense and trivialized that we’ll swallow any bait they throw out there hook, line and sinker. We’ve become a bunch of useful idiots, total sock puppets.
And yet we’re told by the WH that PP holds to the highest ethical standards in the face of overwhelming video evidence. Many will believe the WH.
We’re cooked.
Thank god... a new law.
I’m waiting for Obama to say we’re giving Zimbabwe a bazillion dollars to show we care.
This is gay and retarded. It’s a stupid lion for Pete’s sake!! What about the little American babies that are being murdered and butchered by Cecile’s “planned parenthood”?
That would be that Senator from that cradle of freedom, New Jersey.
Where is Crispy Crème from?
...Proposed to be listed as an endangered species? WTF?
It would be nice if a Republican with balls would introduce the Underage Dominican Prostitute Protection Act in response.
I’m going to introduce an act banning lions from eating zebras.

Do liberals ever not lie? Most in Zimbabwe have no idea who "Cecil" was.
Obama is the lyin’ King.
Ohmygosh....you are SO BAD. That was funny.
