Ted Nugent: Jimmy Kimmel Should 'Get a Damn Life'

...The dentist, Walter Palmer, has been in hiding since word of the kill was reported in the media last week.

Nugent, appearing Sunday on "The Rita Cosby Show" on WABC in New York, said he is dubious of media reports that the lion was lured out of a sanctuary because of the number of untrue statements the media has made about him in the past.

If he could talk to Palmer, Nugent said, "I would say I'm sorry that our society has become so dumbed down and so soul-less, as to threaten you and your family's lives, because you killed a lion that needed to be killed."

...

The biggest problem, Nugent said, is that the animal was given a name, which tends to humanize it. But naming wild animals is actually a disservice that robs the animal of its nobility and is the true "criminal act," he said.

"These are wild, magnificent creatures. They’re not petting zoo animals. They’re not cartoons," Nugent said.

...

Jimmy Kimmel got choked up on his show talking about the lion, and urged people to donate to conservation.

"I would say, 'Jimmy, get a damn life.' Maybe you should cry a few tears for all the millions of aborted babies who Planned Parenthood are selling their organs," Nugent said.

Further, Zimbabwe's longtime leader Robert Mugabe has killed tens of thousands of his citizens in his decades-long rule, he said. "Did Jimmy Kimmel cry about that?"

Nugent also mocked Mia Farrow, who tweeted out the dentist's address.

"So she doesn't know that the sushi is dead?" he asked.

“The lion had a tracking collar on and was in a protected area. It was lured out of said protected area with the carcass of a dead animal and killed.”

Baiting big cats is an accepted and time honored way to hunt them. Big game animals leave protected areas all the time. When they leave, they are fair game.

You make is sound as if the hunters walked up to the lion, held a steak under its nose and gradually and carefully “lured” it carefully, and unwillingly, out of the reserve.

Most likely, the lion considered part of the area outside the reserve part of its territory, and was attracted to the bait.

Neither of us know exactly what happened.

But, most collared lions that are killed by hunters in Zimbabwe are considered to have been killed legally.

2.of the 65 or so lions that have been collard in matabeleland north ( hwange, gwaai,Victoria falls,etc) in the past decade or so, 35 have died, with 24 of these being shot by either sport hunters, on problem animal control - cattle killers, man eaters etc . In the event one is killed, it’s professional to return the collard to the research organization with date,location etc the animal was killed etc
