...The dentist, Walter Palmer, has been in hiding since word of the kill was reported in the media last week.
Nugent, appearing Sunday on "The Rita Cosby Show" on WABC in New York, said he is dubious of media reports that the lion was lured out of a sanctuary because of the number of untrue statements the media has made about him in the past.
If he could talk to Palmer, Nugent said, "I would say I'm sorry that our society has become so dumbed down and so soul-less, as to threaten you and your family's lives, because you killed a lion that needed to be killed."
...
The biggest problem, Nugent said, is that the animal was given a name, which tends to humanize it. But naming wild animals is actually a disservice that robs the animal of its nobility and is the true "criminal act," he said.
"These are wild, magnificent creatures. They’re not petting zoo animals. They’re not cartoons," Nugent said.
...
Jimmy Kimmel got choked up on his show talking about the lion, and urged people to donate to conservation.
"I would say, 'Jimmy, get a damn life.' Maybe you should cry a few tears for all the millions of aborted babies who Planned Parenthood are selling their organs," Nugent said.
Further, Zimbabwe's longtime leader Robert Mugabe has killed tens of thousands of his citizens in his decades-long rule, he said. "Did Jimmy Kimmel cry about that?"
Nugent also mocked Mia Farrow, who tweeted out the dentist's address.
"So she doesn't know that the sushi is dead?" he asked.

....Or cut an off and do 9-5 instead.
It’s scary that it was such a different time in America.
It almost seems like a dream. The late 1990’s I mean.
Ted Nuget as Trumps press sec would be quite interesting.
Loss of livelihood is a very serious matter too. Many of today’s ‘shamers’ appear to think nothing of ruining someone’s public image. I think this trend will grow, to become so common, that it affects your average non-famous middle class person who has independent thoughts or a unique but legal lifestyle.
The trend will grow, until the victims begin fighting back with appropriate litigation and/or with the shamer’s being identified and found guilty of some transgression. There must be aggressive push back on this trend.
Nugent as Secretary of the Interior in a Trump Admin!
The tonight show is taped live at 5:00pm.
I usually like Ted but these comments are moronic. And that is being generous.
The lion had a tracking collar on and was in a protected area. It was lured out of said protected area with the carcass of a dead animal and killed.
Anyone who justifies such a “hunt” as either ethical or moral has rocks in their head. Oh, and one can be outraged at BOTH the lion and Planned Parenthood. It is not an either/or proposition.
He'll be back.
I haven’t been following this story closely, but if that info is correct, then I agree that this was a criminal act. Even if the dentist wasn’t aware of the details of the luring, I would guess that he’s still culpable. This doesn’t rise to the level of abortion, but still a sad event. We do have a responsibility to help preserve endangered species, as well as all Gods creatures.
Oh Teddy the Pedophile.... I liked you so much more when you were a rock star. Politics just isn’t your gig.
Ditto.
Ted says foolish things sometimes while trying to appear smart.(like Trump)
And I forgot to add that he tried to destroy the collar. So much for the plausible deniability that be didn’t know.
Poachers (non-acccidental) are shot. The same should happen to him.
To me, the lion story is like that restaurant you drive by all Tim but never go in. You have a sense its aweful and you trust that sense because every time you decided to give that restaurant a try, it proved you right.
The “ HORROR “ The “ HORROR “ of Rogue Compassion..
Rogue Compassion set loose can perform the most horrific CRIMES...
like; the 200 to 300 million murders the progressives committed last century..
actually most likely more than that... by State Run Compassion...
With various “States” protecting you from the crimes they themselves committed.. by liquidating YOU..
Once “loosed” from God... Compassion is relative..
MURDERING BABIES is called “ COMPASSION FOR THE MOTHER “...
BE CAREFUL OF THOSE COMING TO YOU UNDER A VEIL OF COMPASSION.. their probably up to no good..
Culpable or not, extraditing him to that third-world cesspool with their farce of a legal system is out of the question.
Ashamed that Kimmel ever was the host of “The Man Show.”
So US citizens have carte Blanche to commit crimes in third world countries?
I bet you claim to love the rule of law too.
Nobody has asked for extradition.
Do you honestly think he would get a fair trial? In Zimbabwe?
If it becomes common it will become ineffective.
