what if like Barack Obama, Cecil left the reservation?
It won’t make any difference, the narrative has already been established and the Dentist, for all practical purposes, destroyed.

Cecil's demise has brought about one small benefit. In my classes, I have a discussion where I present to my students the lives of Patrick Tillman and Robert Mugabe. This summer term has been the first where the universal reaction of the class has not been "who the [expletive] is Robert Mugabe?": they knew him as the guy who took care of Cecil.
P.S. The purpose of the assignment is essentially to mess with their brains. I begin by pointing out that Tillman was scrupulously ethical, gave up everything for his country, and died from friendly fire at 27, while Mugabe has been scrupulously unethical, and at 91 has lived a very long, very successful, very happy life. I then ask the students whom they would rather be. Everyone says Tillman. Then I point out that Tillman was an atheist which means (if Christianity is correct, see tagline) he is not only dead but in eternal hell, while Mugabe is a practicing Catholic, meaning if he's been keeping up with his confessions and gets extreme unction, he not only will have had a wonderful life but (perhaps after some time in Purgatory, I will allow my Catholic friends to sort that out) will obtain eternal bliss in heaven. I then ask the students again, based on the new information, whom they would rather be, at which point I get to sit back and enjoy the rest of the discussion.
And what if the non-poacher turns out to be a non RICH AMERICAN? Heads exploding across the globe.
Cecil was not poached...BBQ’d
All the obvious BS to come out of this non story certainly throws it all into question.

What a waste of time doing that research. It is common knowledge that lions get their meat from the same place everybody else does: The meat section of the grocery store.
Lions are very cute, adorable and huggable just like our indoor kitty cats are.
Even Bible pictures show a lion laying next to a lamb. Lions are sweet and docile.
Meanwhile, obama eats dog meat.
I am all for hunting most hunters are the best stewards of the forest really caring about nature. This guy is not one of them this is a trophy hunter only in it to show what a big prick he is....this is not the first time he has been accused of poaching. there is a big difference between someone who hunts dear ad Elk to that of someone who goes after a endangered species.
There’s still the issue that the animal was tagged and not reported. You’re supposed to report it to the authorities if you’ve killed a tagged animal there, irregardless of whatever property you shot it on. They didn’t just ignore that, the guide admits that after they found out it was a tagged animal, the decision was made to actively cover that up.
This dentist has gotten in trouble before and previously had his license suspended for a year. No sympathy here.
Cecil the Lion: What If We Find Out Cecil Was Transgendered?
What if a lion died and nobody cared?
Duh. Obama is The Lyin King, so he has to do for "his people".
“Cecil is our official Saint Hello Kitty”
ROTFLMAO!!!
If you want to see native Africans slaughtering wildlife by the thousands, watch “Addio Africa”.
It’s an exploitation film (by the makers of “Mondo Cane”) that shows the savagery that followed the West’s withdrawal.
Not for the faint of heart.
The author apparently is trying to compare the natural acts of an animal predator to feed itself & family with those of a man who kills animals purely to satisfy his pride. I thought humans were “better” than animals? Humane is the term, I believe.
Pride, you might remember, is one of the 7 deadly sins; not just a sin, but a DEADLY sin, as in, burn in Hell for all eternity. Pride is considered the worst of the 7 as it leads one to commit the other 6 deadly sins. Proverbs says it is an abomination.
Then there is the matter of killing an animal beloved by many people. That’s not much different from killing a pet. How is this lion killing different from the neighborhood animal hater who shoots people’s pets for ENTERTAINMENT?
I find it unseemly to travel to a grossly corrupt country to take trophies likely not legally available in other countries? If ISIS is offering infidel hunts, does that make it right? That a hunter may be fooled into a setup killing is no excuse. It is called hunting, not shooting for a reason.
If you are hunting managed, legal game to feed your family & share with others less fortunate, or protecting family/village from a dangerous animal, I have no problem with that.
But if you are too tired to lug that deer carcass back home, & hell, you already have a freezer full of meat anyway, you are killing for the sake of killing alone, & guilty of another deadly sin - gluttony & probably greed, too.
No, I don’t advocate more laws or prosecutions. They wont help the Zimbabwes of the world nor those who take advantage of a bad situation. No, their comeuppance comes at the end & it lasts forever.
What a horribly written story. Who is Doug Giles and is this the way he writes, like some tough guy? A bunch of rambling nonsense.
