Oh good grief.
I do not believe for one iota that this seasoned big game hunter just thought this was another “legal hunt”.
Who wrote this article? A defense atty? Talk about something not passing the infamous “laugh test”.
Why not?
I agree with everything in this article and thought that FR had turned into the Sierra Club for awhile. The lion was old and too many city folk here on FR don’t know squat about hunting.
Don’t like the fact that the guy baited the lion, but if the authorities thought he was that valuable why wasn’t that area fenced off?
I don’t hunt anything that I am not going to eat, so that pretty much takes all predator animals off the list.
That being said I will kill any bear, mountain lion or other critter that becomes a danger to my family or my live stock.
When I have to do that, I use the meat from predators as dog food.
I’m not buying it either. The dentist knew what he was doing. You’re in a foreign country shooting at something. You better know what you’re shooting at. He knew. The people who helped knew too. I hope theirs butts are in a sling too.
It isn’t fair to blame Disney.
I wish I had a dime for every time I've thought something like that. Kudos to the author for putting it so succinctly.
Exactly. His excuse is right up there with “I only had a couple of drinks officer” and “I was jut holding it for a friend”.
Of COURSE he knew what was up. Prosecuted too many liars to not know a BS excuse when I hear one.
I think they did arrest the guides.
Blame Rousseau and his concept of the NOBLE SAVAGE.
That concept is the basis for not only leftist politics, but also leftist entertainment.
LOVE this article.....has loads of truth...ESPECIALLY the line quoted above.
I say the same thing. Loving animals instead of people GUARANTEES that you won't have to compromise, fight, struggle or examine your own faults and shortcomings. In short, it ensures that you'll never ever truly learn how to love.
Oops. Wrong video.
Nice to see a sensible article on this matter.
Re: Simba’s death.
Walt Disney gave me MANY pivotal, Life Lessons through his films. My kids, too. When they’d find a dead bird or a squished raccoon or rabbit on the road, their first comment was usually, ‘Circle of Life, My Friend.’
Don’t even get me STARTED on the lessons learned from watching TV’s Lassie, LOL!
“Dont even get me STARTED on the lessons learned from watching TVs Lassie, LOL!”
Timmy should stay away from the well?
That's my view. I support hunters, and even big African beasts have to be put down at times. But this hunting experience sounds screwy. Like when LBJ tied up a deer on his property and asked Hubert Humphrey to shoot it. Humphrey refused.
However, at the same time many of the people not only criticizing the dentist but threatening to kill him sound like people who love humanity but hate humans.
