I don't defend this man's poaching and violation of hunting laws. He should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I also don't equate any animal life to being on an equal footing with human life.

To me, certain animals are ABOVE certain humans.

Cases like this make me ashamed to be human.....and I say that as a huge gun guy.

If it were up to me, this dentist would receive the sake treatment he gave to the lion.

It depends on the human life that you intend to put on an equal footing. I would not put the life of an abortionist or a member of ISIS on an equal footing with a chicken or even a cockroach. Likewise I would not equate this poaching pig with a legitimate game hunter. By defending this creep we denigrate the entire sport of game hunting.
