I’m not into it either, I just follow Yeshua’s commandments.
From where do you get such notion of a tame lion?
Serves you right for making a bunch of uninformed emotional posts and thinking that no one would know otherwise.
It’s perfectly natural for hungry lions to eat dentists. If you don’t like lions eating dentists, then you can take it up with God. He designed both lions and dentists.
I have no problem with a lion eating a dentist, especially a dentist willingly armed with a bow that he can't shoot very well.
Facts are not emotion, but I don’t expect you to give a wipe anyway.
But your emotion is a fact.
I’d bet that if you were starving, and the only thing available were some nice, tasty fresh clams, your God wouldn’t mind...
(No offense meant, just a thought.)

And, that doesn't mean you're a sociopath. It's a perfectly normal taste. ;-)
Maybe we all have a bit of sociopath is us.
Or, maybe we've all been to a dentist.
*Lured* outside the preserve, was it not?
At least I thought I read that. No?
Yeah, I thought it was lured out. Thanks for confirming.
That's life, in the real animal kingdom.
What the F are you going to do with a Bobcat idiot?

Tye flies to fish.......
Unless it was collared or tagged, how is anyone to know which lion it was? Because the black maned preserve lion went missing doesn't mean the dentist killed it. That lion was supposedly 13 years old, it had sired many, many offspring, some of whom might also have black manes.
Furthermore, one doesn't bait a specific lion any more than one chums a specific shark.
The Hwange National Park is enormous. Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Tetons, Redwood, Shenandoah and Crater Lake National Parks will fit inside it with room to spare. Think about it!
Someone was looking to make a political case and this Dentist is the unfortunate person fitting the target profile. The physical hunter became the politically hunted.
I think so... ;>)
I know it wasn’t easy....I was the oldest of 6 kids. We could be a handful to herd. ;>) But our family all had fun. We were blessed.
Don't go assuming. Black maned lions are found all over Africa. Unless the dead lion was also a tagged/collared lion, who is to say what lion was killed? The park lion may have gone missing because it was chased off, or killed by a younger male.
I call Bravo Sierra.
The article is sourced from an anti-hunting advocate — if you can’t hear the axe grinding in the background, go get a hearing aid.
Now, snark aside, from reading between the lines and reading some other sources, the hunter may well have been “had” by the landowner and the guides. And there’s even a remote chance he might have been in on some shady deal, but I very much doubt it.
Consider: the customer hails from Minnesota, 7 time zones away from the location of the hunt. He contracts with a reputable guide, and a landowner, pays a fee for the hunting license, goes through customs with his his bow (try that sometime), and after all of that he expects...a poached hunt? Really? Why go through all the rigamarole if you want to break the law? Why not just get on a plane, pay off some local schmuck off the books, and, you know, shoot, shovel and shut up?
Does not pass the smell test. Unless you think there’s something magical about lions, and they should Never Be Hunted. In that case, we have nothing to discuss, and one of us is on the wrong forum.
