From the responses, we have, on this forum, more than our share of said Liberals.

I have a few people filling my fb newsfeed with more and more crap about the lion. (To be honest, one or two stories might have been interesting/shocking/insightful, but c’mon already!)

I know that none of them had heard of this famous/popular/beloved lion before a week ago. None would’ve cared either.

Now they’re complaining about the dentist’s previous kill — which *again* they had no clue about EVER.

They have constantly reported that Cecil was a beloved famous lion in that nature preserve. But someone linked to the website of the preserve,and there was no mention of Cecil. So they probably embellished this whole story.

I'm pretty sure "Cecil" was invented a few days ago

The hunter, who has apologized for shooting it, probably wishes you were right.

If you kill it, eat it. If not, you are a piece of garbage.

Agreed. People are obviously finding this guy to be such an easy target because of his being a wealthy white American. While I am no sympathizer for Mr. Palmer, if the masses want to be angry over the killing of this lion and other African wildlife, I suggest ones like Mugabe and Zuma and other corrupt local government officials are even more so fair game concerning this issue.

If you can’t kill it cleanly (unless you really really need the food) don’t take the shot. 40 hours to die (and I’ll laugh at any moron who says he was humane or noble by finding it and finishing it, he paid 50 grand, of course he’s going to).

The last paragraph bears repeating: If only as much outrage over a dead and dismembered lion were directed at those who kill and dismember hundreds of thousands of babies per year, our society might have a moral leg to stand on.

The Nazis were that way. Hitler in particular, had a great fondness for animals. Human beings, not so much.

Lions and other large animals are typically viewed as dangerous by the local population, and if these animals are not hunted, their populations will explode.

This sentence is way too long. Here's a much more concise and accurate sentence:

Lions and other large animals are typically viewed as dangerous by the local population, and if these animals are not hunted, their populations will explode.
Just how dangerous are they? Lion attacks kill hundreds of Africans a year. And hippos and elephants kill more.

I’m not some animal rights activist by any means, but trophy hunting is disgusting, as are people’s justification of it. I’m all about thinning a herd if necessary and hunting something for food. I’ve hunted plenty in my life and I’ve always considered it an unpleasant task. I’m deeply cynical of anybody who goes out and hunts for no other reason than to throw an animal head up on their wall.

Where I’m from in Wyoming, at least the outfitters that took out rich people to bag trophy elk and moose would at least do something with the meat that the trophy hunter didn’t want instead of just leaving it in the field to rot. But shooting an animal just to shoot it, what the hell is that doing for you?

And no, I don’t think this dentist guy should be killed and have his business burned. But he should be prosecuted IF he broke the law (the reporting has been 99% emotion and extremely short on facts, so I don’t know).

The fact that a majority of people in Zimbabwe don’t know about this lion has nothing to do with whether the actions taken by this dentist and his guides were right or wrong.

Really? You eat mosquitos and spiders? I just crush them as the irritants they are.
