Ok, there it is. You know there was a real agenda to this rant somewhere. Slaughtering endangered animals to abortion is quite a jump.

Media has proven more than once now-- the world's eyes are on you - even in the jungle.
why is he not over there talking to the leaders and explain himself if he is innocent??? Go see you accusers, clear your name. and I researched it - a lion kill is at best $12,000-- not $50K he is not a gullible stupid to pay so much for just a regular kill. he was a good 1 1/2 hr. away from location- of this pride's protected area- not a 5 min ride!

I second this. The bastard in all likelihood is not ignorant to his choice of prey in this hunt. He is an experienced hunt player- the kind who get his kicks by indulge in killings to satisfy some of his lame ego. One can imagine the desire to triumph his hunting experience, would be seeking out an icon lion to strike off from his bucket list.

Some people don't learn so quickly except by extreme measures. This nut job running around the world spending tens of thousands of dollars to "hunt" rare (and in some cases protected) animals apparently didn't see anything wrong with his behavior.

I suspect by now he probably has gotten the message. Only time will tell if it alters his behavior in a positive way.

Sorry he had to lose his business in the process. Some time for introspective contemplation might allow him to rebuild his life in a more positive and contributory manner.

The local lodges made $10,000 a day from tourists wanting pics with and of Cecil. This was not just a lion in the wild. This was a lion that brought in a lot of revenue, was on protected land, and had been wearing a collar as part of a research study by Oxford since 1999.

He hasn't been convicted and there is some question about whether he was lead astray by his guides, but go ahead and destroy his life anyway. I can't make people understand my point because you guys are not being reasonable. The only way you will understand is if it happens to you, and that's very possible in today's digital world.

Let's hope for the sake of people who posted this garbage that nobody decides to hurt him or a member of his family after reading this thread.

Otherwise the justice system will finally be forced to give a definitive answer on the limits of protected speech on the internet. These posts seem a bit more than just exagerrated disgust, when put together. It's more like incitement of violence.

Nobody said that. Similiarly, if the lion eats someone who happens to be one of most respected well known person, people will react to that respectively. However, dog vs human belongs to another thread if you will.

It is called justice and karma, the scumbag brought this all on himself. He should be extradited to Zimbabwe to face trial and after serving his time in one of their prisons, he can come home and ask to be forgiven. Actions have consequences.
