This is second ignorant comment I heard today.

That's why I like animals more than human.

I hope so, too, and that would be getting off easy.

Media wants the masses to focus on a dead lion, not harvested baby organs.

I doubt it. Another guy paid $350,000 to kill a Black Rhino and no one gave a hoot.

His club, Safari Club International suspended both the dentist and his guide.

US Officials Want Dentist Who Admitted to Killing Cecil the Lion to Contact Them 'Immediately' - ABC News

Their website has quotes from John Muir, Ernest Hemingway and Tedy Roosevelt all who are rolling over in their graves.

Looks like they have a scorecard like a baseball game but they do donate some funds to anti-poaching. It would be better to just donate money the World Wildlife Fund or various other organizations to protect these lions.

WWF cannot protect wild animals in African countries.
Corrupt governments allow this to happen with money flowing under the table.

Rhino poaching has gone up 7000% from 2007 to 2013.

From this day forward sure and as you already know the only people who indulge in trophy hunting are the very wealthy. Great way to impress your society friends and business partners. Big men on campus.

Once again you absolutely show your ignorance. While I was in an African country the neighboring rancher and his son shot seven lions in one week because they were killing his cattle. The lions came out of a huge national park that bordered his ranch. There was absolutely nothing illegal about his actions.

The more you post, the more obvious it is that you are talking through your hat.
