Well, though I definitely care more about humans than animals in the whole scheme of things, I still think it was a lousy thing to do. I'm not outraged, but it was definitely lousy.
Well said. That is exactly how I feel about it.
Though I cant stand how liberal CNN hypes the story again and again, replete with faux impressions of global outrage beyond PETA, it was a lousy thing to do.
Good grief, the lion was baited from the park, then hunted with a crossbow by a "great White hunter" who has been in trouble over game laws before. The hunter did not have the skills to make a clean kill. The wounded lion was then tracked and killed by locals and the "Great White Hunter" was then brought to the site of "his" kill to collect the trophies.
What if you got a call from your son vacationing in Bangkok saying he found some heroin in his bag that someone put there? Would you tell him to go to the authorities, or flush that down the toilet?
All we know is some dentist would do neither. He'd look around for more hidden drugs if any before bagging them back home to savor
[quote=Ummagumma;40643253]No, he's been attacked by an angry mob of internet busybodies smelling blood and feeling invincible behind their (supposed) anonymity, and a very large proportion of them just wants to hunt down and destroy someone and this story is just an excuse for them.
If you feel it's OK to destroy someone's life before all facts are in... well, perhaps one day this should happen to you. Karma is a *****, you know.[/QUOTE]
Palmer for sure is 100% with you on this. He knows best

That reminds me of the movie "hostel", the dentist could well become one of those professionals seen in the movie's factory.
I am not anti hunting but I would like to see the keeping and displaying of trophies made illegal. If these idiots couldn't gloat over dead animals, hang their heads on the wall and make rugs of the skins many would stop because it's about their egos.
We don't allow soldiers to pose with enemy solders killed in war, even though their deaths may be within our law.
If they couldn't brag and post body parts in their man caves then the value proposition to them changes.
Couldn't agree more. I am hoping that this situation leads to a ban on importation of animal body parts and trophy killing is seen as a socially unacceptable practice.
How many lion heads does one man need????????? Maybe he wanted a matching pair to display over his fireplace. This pos deserves every bit of what he is getting.
Well you go read up on trophy hunting in Africa. Money talks even to government officials.
Bans get placed and then lifted because they miss the money too much.
Eco tourism is actually much more profitable than trophy hunting. A lion or elephant is worth much more in the long run from "hunters" with cameras than those with guns. The local safari/lodge operators said they would have taken in the $50,000 the dentist paid for Cecil in only 5 days via photo safaris.
Plenty of melodrama ..... the mighty hunter and his family could get hurt, and it's all your fault because you went to Twitter and various other places that had the same info and posted it here on C-D!!!
The act of deliberately finding and posting that information in a thread where there are multiple calls for murdering this dentist (exaggerated or not) is not an innocent act of sharing publicly available information. No matter how you spin it. One day the courts will be forced to make a decision on this once and for all.
