LOL, they may count, but I don't think eating shark and gators is common, as in they are farmed as food.

I've never tasted either. I did have squid once, though, and sweetmeats (but I did not know what they were at the time) yuck!

Eating shark fin soup is very common in Asia, and gator meat is pretty common and they are indeed bred for food / skin on gator farms in FL and LA. Gators are delicious btw, truly "taste like chicken" but better. And you can typically find gator steaks even in some Michigan restaurants.

Also, most fish that we eat is carnivorous. Tuna, mackerel, salmon etc.

I really don't care that Jimmy Kimmel cried on camera. That was the act of your typical limousine liberal.

You are all missing the point. This dentist used his money to contribute to a future extinction of the African lion. These refuges are designed to preserve that breed of animal. He used his money to work around the laws of a country that he was a guest in.

Actually, most posters demanding him to be skinned alive and fed to the lions don't care if he hunted legally or not.

What is this "social media" you speak of?

Seriously, I only have Facebook and I've been telling people that I don't want to see their activism nor their politics, that if I see they using FB, which I go to for relaxation by seeing the fun things people are doing, for their agendas, I'll unfollow them............been doing that a lot, recently.

If I want to keep informed about politics, the outrage happening the world, there are other sites for that.......like this one.

Ask all the sharks killed for shark fin soup. Those sharks aren't farmed. No, killing them is still going on. This is what I mean, so many people are uninformed about what really goes on.

Sharks are killed by the hundreds of thousands.

Anything is possible. Do you believe it is likely? How does a lion become used to seeing jeeps if they aren't going where the lions are? Do you believe the lions saw the jeeps and decided to just check them out and then hung around all the time?

If that is true, then why are there roads to where the lions are?

You see, no matter how you try to explain otherwise, that lion was conditioned by humans to be comfortable around humans. That was the crime. The killing was just an event in a long chain of irresponsible management of a so-called "national treasure".

My preconceived notions? That would be those who think that the only thing that happened was that some dentist killed a lion. As usual, many people can't think past the immediate sensationalism of Internet stories nor can they accept anything past what they read in some column.

Seeing a larger picture and then maybe seeing the real problem is why so many people seem to think that everything is just an isolated thing, something they can fix right away and move on.

Meanwhile, since Cecil was killed, so were a lot of people.

In the same time, hundreds if not thousands of dogs and cats were euthanized right here in the USA.

More than a few kids were probably molested.

But what the heck, gotta get the dentist. We'll show the world who really cares about the important things.
