At least one of his contractors did worse than that.
It was a media sensation when Teddy refused to shoot a bear one of them had tied to a tree for him.
Surely that contractor had done similar things, just less obviously.
And you have information that the hunter-dentist requested such behavior?
The information about who ordered what is somewhat clouded, but the good micro-genital Palmer already had a prior about this very thing, so my money would be on “he knew darn well what was what” and is seeking to project the blame off on the contractor. That’s my gut feeling about this. He thinks he can buy his way through everything. We’ll see what happens when his dentistry practice collapses. I surely would not trust anyone who would do this to a poor dumb animal to touch any part of me. The only good thing would be that when he put his hands in your mouth, you could chomp down on them REAL HARD.
Which gave us the Teddy Bear!
