Ultimately, I think this brouhaha will have the effect of depressing hunting expeditions to Zimbabwe which, of course, will only hurt Zimbabwe.

My life will never be the same since those stupid lions ate illegal immigrants Cecil and Jericho down on the border with Mexico after that mean, old dentist spooked them by firing at them. That is what happened, isn't it? I am so distressed!
