They are willing to shed tears for the cubs that will be torn apart by the alpha male that take over the pride, but not one for the babies being torn apart by abortions

If only babies had tails, there would be no abortions

Have any libs cried or been horrified at PP chopping up unwanted babies yet??? Any reaction from the left at all??

If not, I daresay O’Keefe should edit one of his unreleased videos to show the outside of an animal shelter and have titling indicating that unwanted puppies are being gassed and then torn apart for parts for aging conservatives.

THEN WHEN THEY ARE ALL APOPLECTIC AND SOBBING, say that no, these aren’t unwanted PUPPIES but humans.

Yeah. I just saw that in a headline from the link for that “cat ate my bacon” thread.

Jericho is dead, and hope for Cecil’s cubs is fading fast.

What is wrong with these people? “Oh look at the beautiful lion! Let’s kill it.”

Jerks.

Wonder if the animal rights loons will go find the illegal poacher and protest outside his hut?

Clever and so true. But be careful, you will get drunk very fast around here if you are playing that drinking game. Not an original thought in the whole bunch. I guess in some simple minds it’s not possible to care about both at the same time.
