What are the odds that the number of lions in the wild dwindle?
They hate the hunt while ignoring its benefit.
This will end the process of converting native people to protectors of these magnificent animals for controlled hunts providing substantial income to wholesale slaughter of the species for bush meat. Congrats witless One. You have destroyed the lion population with one stupid act.

Imagine Bwana Baraq pn a Big Game Hunt,,,
Obama can not stop anybody from hunting anything in South Africa. I know that is hard to believe but the dictators powers are limited internationally.
“14. African Lions. Although lions typically desire animals with more meat than humans they actually kill around 70 people each year.”
And look out for #17 - The American Holstein Cow!

Notice how no responsibility is placed on the various African governments for protecting their own wildlife.
Cecil died because of Mugabe’s corrupt regime caring solely about plunder.
Reading this article, one is led to believe most of South Africa is fenced in.
Hopefully, this will end as well as the Cuban ‘embargo’.
Game wardens put a stop to canned hunts of even exotic species of deer on game ranches around here-that is not “hunting” in any sense and it is animal cruelty, period. If someone doesn’t have the cojones to hunt an animal-any animal-on its own turf, then they don’t need to hunt at all...
The reason there are huntable numbers in certain sub Saharan countries is because those countries have permitted hunting and those nations receive millions in fees for access to hunting said game. Because those species have had a value put on them, they are protected by those nations and poachers are treated as vile criminals and shot on sight in certain situations.
The best thing for those species is hunting.
is this an over reaction to the media pushing the Cecil the lion story????
I’m tired of hearing about this man’s actions.
Dang, now how am I going to get my canned lion?
I forgot to add. Does anyone make bottled lion instead, maybe frozen?
Without lions we'd be overrun with wildebeests....and who wants that.
Thanx to National Geographic channels, I can watch wildebeests get eaten all day long.
Wildebeests are like liberals....they never learn and they follow the herd...right into crocodile-infested waters.
*Didn't they used to be gnus?
Errr, don't you mean "king of the savanna"?
(Facts? We don't need no steenken FACTS! This is all about EMOTION!)
President Obama's mid-December move to destroy a huge segment of the African economy by removing a substantial portion of their income from big game hunts.
Obama's move will do little or nothing to protect African lions, but will do much to eliminate a substantial source of income to those poor countries.
Huh?
