Death threats have been sent to the American dentist who killed Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe earlier this month amid growing anger over the protected animal's slaughter.

Tributes to the butchered lion have poured in thousands of miles away at Dr Walter Palmer's office in Bloomington, Minnesota, where protesters dressed as 'dentist hunters' also threw stuffed lions at his house.

Celebrities including models Cara Delevingne and Candice Swanepoel have also blasted the dentist, calling him a 'poor excuse of a human being'.

Dead lion, international condemnation. UN-planned parenthood and shredded babies----------meh. Not to mention "celebrities" calling someone a poor excuse for a human being? Hello kettle.

[relictele]

Mob rule - ain’t it great?

[tgusa]

Beat mt to it.

[Snickering Hound]

Wait, Candice Swanepoel?! I'll bow hunt him myself for her...

[cripplecreek]

So did they target Robert Mugabe who dined on baby elephant for his 91st birthday?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

More outrage over this than babies being harvested.

[vbmoneyspender]

With a bow and arrow - nicely done.

I wish these same people who are against the killing of this lion felt the same way about the unborn. Kill a lion, death threats are made against you, murder innocent babies in the womb, rip out their body parts for profit, not a peep

[SWAMPSNIPER]

This one isn’t a hunter, like the pp “doctors” he is just a killer.

[CaptainK]

Trump’s sons have gone big game hunting in Africa. Wait for the subject to pop up again now that this is in the news.

[ArtDodger]

At least is wasn’t Clarence, the cross-eyed lion, whom everybody loved!

[OldSmaj]

Do these freaking idiots not see the pictures of Rhinos (no, not those RINOS) that have been poached for the horns, just for some rich Chinese idiot to use as viagra?

Never seen a picture of an elephant slaughtered for nothing more than a couple pieces of tooth that is revered by rich Chinese?

Have they never seen the pic of human fetus parts, displayed in a petri dish, with the voice-over bidding for the parts?

Damn fools!

If you're going to vent righteous indignation, find a REAL cause!

[rktman]

Ruh roh! I can see the headlines now. “Trump Approves of Killing Innocent Lions and Lion Cubs”.

[Gay State Conservative]

Yes,you can draw analogies between the two issues.But to focus solely on the lion my thoughts go like this:

I've visited national parks in both Kenya and Tanzania.I've also been aware for years of the serious problem with poachers...elephants,lions and rhinos,particularly...that these countries have and *have * had.Just last fall visiting several parks in Kenya we saw armed soldiers everywhere.I would take that as a strong hint if I was a poacher...or even a hunter.

If this dentist *truly* believed that he was within the laws of Zimbabwe to do what he did then one could argue that he's blameless...legally *and* morally.Perhaps he was duped by con artists...even con artists working for the government.It's not as if Zimbabwe is widely recognized to be a stable,civilized nation populated solely by (and governed by) righteous folks!

[thorvaldr]

The left is, as always, EXTREMELY interested that we be distracted from what is actually wrong in the world.

[Lopeover]

Humans are not an endangered species.

Personally, I don’t care that leftists abort their babies. On their conscience, not mine. Financially, we can’t support everyone on welfare.

[VAFreedom]

was posted earlier, but yet, this dentist is a coward, and we don’t need MSM to tell us that.

” con artists working for the government”. I am offended by that. There are NO con artists working for the govt. Oh, wait....................... :>}

I think that I and many others here can be upset at both this sad episode in Africa and with Planned Parenthood (and certainly the overall culture of medically unnecessary abortions as well). However, I would also like to see the silent partner in what took place with this dentist exposed as well, ie the most likely very corrupt culture involving the local authorities and poaching in Africa. It does not take much imagination to visualize this sort of thing taking place with park officials and others being bribed with piles of money so that lions, rhinos, elephants, and other such species be taken for their ivory or skins, etc. Exposing and suffocating this sort of thing could be the important good that comes out of Cecil’s senseless killing.

While I wish the man had gone hunting with a camera instead of a crossbow, and largely blame his guides and the gamekeeper (how was the dentist to know it was “Clarence”?), I am appalled by the widespread calls for his murder. What makes this OK (regardless of other contemporary comparisons)?

I’m guessing the free market will take care of his practice (patients who abhor hunting will leave, those who don’t will stay).
