Why is race important they demand? Why aren't they identified by race? Aren't they wealthy compared to other people in Zimbabwe?
Why do you try to interject race into every single topic on C-D?

Here is who helped kill Cecil:

"Professional hunter Theo Bronchorst and land owner Honest allegedly tied a dead animal to a vehicle to lure the beloved lion outside a national park so that American Walter James Palmer could kill him, according to conservationists in Zimbabwe."

As anger escalates over lion’s death, Zimbabwean men appear in court - The Washington Post

What race are Theo and Honest? Oh yeah, the guys name is HONEST.

Honest Trymore Ndlovu

Not a word about them. Not a word. No outrage.

Honest Trymore Ndlovu

IS BLACK.

So we have Honest Trymore Ndlovu, a wealthy Black hunt guide and land owner who led Cecil to his death.

Uncomfortable yet?

Do tell. Who uses that to describe Palmer? I sure didn't start it.

So 2sleepy, where were YOU when people started referring to Palmer as a rich white hunter?

You were absent. How convenient. Now you want to make a deal of it? Why is that? Something bothering you now?


I think you're a hypocrite of the worst kind. The only time you want to say something is when it goes along with your ideas. You are proving my point right here, right now.

I don't inject race into threads, it is already there long before I comment. You know that but don't want to admit it. Why is that?

What have you to say now?

I think caring more about animals than fellow human beings is a distinctly Anglo-Saxon thing for the most part. People here generally despise humans they are not related to or close friends with, so of course they are going to sympathize more with a cute animal.

Same thing I said before you seem to seize every opportunity to interject race into an issue.

Zimbabweans are baffled because of this:

Honest Trymore Ndlovu, is a wealthy Black hunt guide and land owner who led Cecil to his death. They are baffled because he is one of them and just as guilty as Palmer.

Heard Mr.Honest Trymore Ndlovu referred to as a "wealthy Black hunt guide" lately or ever except now?

Now, go find the first post on CD referring to Palmer as a "rich white hunter" or similar and see who said it. Then tell me race isn't part of this. It was from the start.

If Palmer paid 50,000 to hunt a lion, someone made 50,000. That is very wealthy in Zimbabwe?

So who are the wealthy _____ hunt guides there and why aren't they identified by race?
In Palmer's case, the guide was white. The farmer on whose land the lion was shot was black.

OK?

Satisfied?

He's right, 100% right.

People think Palmer killed a Disney lion.

Who drove or helped drive the truck?

You really to satisfy yourself, not me. Start looking.

My goodness, are you for real?

"Professional hunter Theo Bronchorst and land owner Honest Trymore Ndlovu allegedly tied a dead animal to a vehicle to lure the beloved lion outside a national park so that American Walter James Palmer could kill him, according to conservationists in Zimbabwe."

See how you try to avoid reality? He was the one who helped lure Cecil to his death.

You want to cast him as just the land owner? Talk about manipulation of facts.

What have you to say now?

What does "tied a dead animal to a vehicle to lure the beloved lion outside a national park so that American Walter James Palmer could kill him, according to conservationists in Zimbabwe."

mean to you? Lets see what you post next.
