Africa and places like this can stop advertising, if the money wasn't so darn good. Hard to blame some people, when others are on the other side doing, dirty deeds for dirty $$$$.

One thing I have learned with all of this, the conservation $$$$ donated to these preserves also enables them to advertise "trophy hunting." What a way to raise money, ask for donations to save some animals while charging high dollars to kill others.

Why do people get so mad about an animal that would rip them to shreds if it had the chance? I'm sure they would love Cecil then. Not saying he should have been shot but still.

What is the thrill of having to see these beasts up close? You can see them in a zoo, you can see them on tv. Yet, people pay to be able to be a snack and they aren't even armed? Ok, Darwin was right.


How about shut down the stupid "safari" adventures, leave the damn cats alone and no one dies?

Not really, humans aren't on their menu. We just don't taste good to them.

Sure when we see something funny. Do you know how to use the smilies to indicate you are joking? Or do you think we are all living in your head? See? Smilie.

Is this a serious question? If we killed every species that could harm us, there wouldn't be many left. I guess we could all enjoy little bunnies and live happily ever after.

Lions don't want to be anywhere near humans. Why don't we leave them alone to live their lives? Just because a animal could rip me to shreds, doesn't mean I don't care about its welfare and enjoy its majestic beauty. We don't need them for food, so have no reason to murder them, imo.
