I'd find a pussy-cat and bash in its head.

That's when my momma said...

She said my boy I think some day

You'll find a way

To make your natural tendencies pay...

You'll be a dentist.

Eh - maybe not the same, but the differences are gradual rather than essential. The only argument that really holds is the endangered species one - but a) lions aren't on the protected species list and b) it's a selfish argument rather than a moral one (i.e." we'd like to keep these beautiful animals around" rather than "it's wrong to hurt or end the life of this creature").

“I had no idea that the lion I took was a known, local favorite, was collared and part of a study until the end of the hunt. I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt.”

“Again, I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion,” the statement concluded.

There always have to be a few people who throw in the "well what about eating meat so....therefore killing a lion is cool". Factory farming IS destroying the planet and yes I am a vegetarian/occasional vegan. I believe there is a huge difference between people who have grown up eating meat and see it as part of daily life and someone who chooses to seek out rare animals and pay 10's of thousands of dollars to kill so they can have a one of a kind souvenir. As much as it would be nice if everyone stopped eating meat, I think the planet will be long gone before this ever happened. Humans have pretty much destroyed the environment in the last 100 or so years and frankly I am always shocked at people who willingly want to bring more children into this world. I believe (and call me a whack job/loser/whatever) that we are well past the point of saving ourselves. Mother Nature always wins and I see a very bleak future. Humans are inherently greedy and though I believe the majority of people are good and willing to make small changes there will always be people like this guy who think "fuck it, I have money I'll do whatever I want and screw the greater good". Chinese billionaires need their shark fins and ground up tiger penis too!! The 1% will never be able to consider changing for the common good. All they do is exploit and consume without a care in the world. People who eat meat are not pure evil like this guy. I'm pretty sure most of the people here who eat meat don't get a hard on or pleasure when they actually stop to think about the whole process. Many people are looking to eat less meat or make more humane choices and I think that should be encouraged. I have no hope for people like this guy but the other posters on here show that there is kindness and awareness among people so when a few of you pull the meat eating=killing a lion argument it gets annoying. I'm married to a big time carnivore and while I don't comment on his every meal "oh my god!! A Big Mac, we are done!" we have had the occasional conversation about this topic and he has started to switch over to more ethical humane choices in meat.

Two-thousand years ago, more than a million lions roamed Africa. Today, only about 30,000 remain. Today, most African lions reside in protected areas, but they still fall victim to trophy hunting. An estimated 665 lions are hunted and exported each year.

Walter Palmer is quite piece of work. He's been in trouble before, several times.

Palmer pleaded guilty to federal charges in 2008 related to the poaching of a black bear in Wisconsin two years earlier. Palmer and others transported the bear, which was killed 40 miles outside of a legal hunting zone, to a registration station inside the legal area. Palmer was sentenced to one year of probation and fined nearly $3,000.

In the spring of 2003, Palmer was convicted in Otter Tail County in western Minnesota and paid a small fine for fishing without a license, a misdemeanor.

In 2009, Palmer agreed to a settlement with the Minnesota Board of Dentistry over allegations that he sexually harassed a receptionist. She alleged that Palmer made comments about her breasts, buttocks and genitalia. Without admitting guilt, Palmer settled and paid $127,500 to the woman, who also was his patient. The settlement included references to his bear-hunting conviction and “substandard record keeping.”

So in addition to being a scumbag who takes pleasure in killing endangered species, he's also a fuckwad who sexually harasses women. WHAT.A. BASTARD.

The main issues are that he killed this particular lion, and how he was killed. Cecil was famous and a subject of study for biologists. He had a radio collar on and was well known to park wardens. The POS who guided the dentist, and a local farmer, lured him out of the park boundary with kill strapped to car trunks and let the Yankee kill him with a bow and arrow. Then, he was tracked for 40 hours before they finally killed him, I believe with a shot from the guide. They knew damn good and well that this was not a cull animal, and the locals would know him by sight; Cecil was famous in the area.

There are many cull lions that he could've killed. African governments allow it in order to control populations and bring in revenue. Of course the corruption is great and proof of efficacy slim, but it does happen legally. Even a lot of white SAs (including some hunters) are right pissed at this situation because they disagree with the extreme aspects of this kind of FU attitude towards big game. It also threatens to cut into their legal businesses that involve tourists. If there is a resulting boycott, they are screwed.

They're usually not bloodthirsty fantasies. They're pure, knee-jerk gainsaying. An animal is left to suffer for 40 hours and is then shot and beheaded, so someone says the human responsible should ALSO suffer 40 hours, be shot and beheaded.

The thought behind it is that, because we're the dominant species, we've forgotten that we're hurting actual living beings when we kill other animals. You see that sentiment on threads like this where a significant chunk of replies are, "So what? It's just an animal, nobody cares." So people need reminding.

r180, I saw this on Reddit, and hopefully this will make you feel better about the cubs.

[quote]This is SOP for male lions - they don't want the genetic competition. The females won't start ovulating while they are still taking care of cubs, so it's really his only option if he wants to start making progeny right away. It really doesn't cost him anything in terms of energy to just kill off the cubs of his (now ex-) rivals. For the mothers, however, those cubs represent a massive amount of time and energy, from pregnancy to rearing. They are highly invested in their survival. Also: they're smart. The males are... less so. What the females often try to do in this situation is to hide the cubs from the male, pretend to go into estrous/heat, and have sex with the newly-dominant male lion. After enough time has passed, they "reveal" the cubs, in the hopes that the male will think that they are his. It doesn't always work, but every so often, the male goes "I have had sex with you, and now there are cubs. Everything is coming up Milhouse!"... and the cubs survive. So cross your fingers, and hope that Jericho is as gullible as his name makes him out to be. ;) Source: ex-safari guide.

[quote]There is no way the US would ever send him back to Zimbabwe so that's out.

The US actually has a very strong extradition agreement with Zimbabwe. If he is charged there, and any of his actions related to the event are also a crime here - extradition is automatic if the potential jail time exceeds one year. His payment for the kill is illegal in both countries (for different reasons) and could be grounds for extradition.

What galls me most about this is he didn't even do it for a trophy to hang in his man cave. Importing the skin or head into the US would be problematic and is a felony. He did it for the thrill of killing. Disgusting.

No, [R114], a cow is not killed for "pleasure." Human beings need meat. Meat provides nutritional value not found anywhere else, it's why vegans and vegetarians have to take supplements.

I was a vegetarian for nearly 20, but people like you are insufferable.

If you are vegan you should watch your B12 intake. But really the majority of animals killed and served as food in the US far exceeds nutritional demands. Plus the fact a supplement is available means meat isn't a necessity.

I think the people who are insufferable are the ones who hold this hypocritical opinion that killing cows is OK but killing a lion isn't.

Years ago I read a book about psychopaths, The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through The Madness Industry, by Jon Ronson, and I remember one of the psychopaths he interviewed was a CEO who fired and professed to love firing thousands of employees. I remember Ronson went to the guys house and found the CEO was a big game hunter with heads of rare animals all over the walls of his house. That's the first thing I thought of when I read about Cecil. Anyhow, the premise of the book was the question why with all our advances in science, technology, why doesn't life get better for all of us. And Ronson was exploring the hypothesis that it doesn't get better because the psychopaths rise to the top of the hierarchy of all mankind and call all the shots. In other words, when cooking a stew on the stove, the scum always rises to the top.

R314, people can care about more than one thing at a time. It's impossible to know whether the people you see upset about Cecil are ALSO upset about murders or not. You can't assume.

Also, it feels like you can do something about this issue, but you can't do anything about humans shooting each other. You can't control crazy, paranoid, over-armed, angry people, and you can't get the NRA out of Congress' pocket. And if someone shoots up a theater, they're usually dead or apprehended.

But people who hurt animals usually get away with no legal repercussions, so social media is useful to dole out some kind of punishment. Just my two cents on that.

Add Aisha Tyler to the list of finger waggers who just HAD to remind us that it's as important to be outraged by the senseless killing of humans as it is by the death of Cecil. Just shut up you silly bitch. I can't think of a better way to alienate people who agree with you than to assume that they don't. And then lecture them about it. She's not even funny. Give me a Mia Farrow any day. She did what many of us wanted to do. And makes no apologies for it. And ruining his dental practice is certainly more hurtful than all the name-calling and revenge fantasies. No matter how much better it makes us feel to think of him suffering in the same way as Cecil. All lives matter.

Zimbabwe is asking for extradition.

Apparently even after killing the lion and knowing it was collared he asked to go shoot an elephant.

"We then went back to my place near Hwange. The client asked if we would find him an elephant larger than 63 pounds (the weight of one tusk) which is a very large elephant, but I told him I would not be able to find one so big, so the client left the next day and went to Bulawayo for the night and then flew out midday the following day."

It's near on impossible to live a life without affecting animals. Even if you become a vegan you still buy products that are tested on animals before they are being used buy you. Shoes, wool production, expanding human population. Everything affects animals. The killing of Cecil (and other sports killings) though was completely unnecessary. The only reason these animals are being killed is because of overinflated male ego and sick dominant perversions.

What is the chance a fair number of politicians and other prominent people are also shitting bricks because they have participated in a big game safari? Not just American, either.

Male lions routinely kill the cubs of any lionesses in the vicinity so that the females will become receptive to mating once again. They aren't exactly noble creatures.

I could never personally kill an animal like this but still find it kind hilarious how worked up and crazy some people become over hunting. It's not as though the animals suffer slow, agonizing deaths. Get a fucking grip you loons.

I meant that in general, hunting is NOTHING compared to the cruelty/indifference of nature. Do people think that older animals just go peacefully to sleep when it's their time to go? Please. Also: battery hens suffer a hell of a lot more than Cecil ever did, but I'm sure that 95% of the people crying over him have no problem buying a cheap carton of eggs, or products containing them (which is the same thing).

[quote][R422] believes it's very important to shame and destroy the life of a person who has not been convicted of any crime, and he also feels it's really totally appropriate to equate allegations of breaking hunting rules with allegations of mass rape.

It's not a question of allegations. The hunter has admitted he did kill Cecil. This is moral outrage that one can feel towards a person that has done wrong. You don't need justice system for that. But you knew that already of course. If you don't feel any kind of moral outrage for someone killing an old lion just for kicks and for sport then you might ask yourself are you capable of feeling empathy at all.

by Anonymousreply 434August 1, 2015 3:30 PM

R422 you are so dim it is laughable. Was Cosby ever convicted of a crime? Yet think of all the people close to him who have been negatively impacted. Cry for them.

R433 you are just as dim. Are you so stupid to think we don't know all this? We're talking about a man who creams over his sadistic sport and then boasts about it.

He might as well have jerked off over the corpse of this lion as well as all the others that we know of.

So far he is protecting Cecil's cubs from other males who would take over the pride. If Jericho intended to kill his little nieces and nephews, he would have already done it. So he appears to be a good uncle.

NPR has the real story. Jericho and Cecil aren't brothers, they're mates who share the same female (lioness). Lions frequently form their own allies and that's the case for Cecil and Jericho. Jericho was protecting the cubs because the cubs could very well be his.

In the meantime the researcher over in Zimbabwe said he thinks Jericho is still alive but it's nighttime over there. They'll have to wait till morning to verify if Jericho is ok.

Time in Zimbabwe now: 1:00 AM so no one on here should try to contact him.

by Anonymousreply 451August 1, 2015 11:01 PM

Re: Jericho, a wildlife expert who studies cats suggested that Jericho's motives for protecting Cecil's offspring just might be a little self serving as well as benevolent. Apparently, just like with domestic kitties, a litter of lion cubs can have more than one father, and he thinks that some of the cubs may be of Jericho's bloodline. Whatever the reason, I do hope that he is able to keep the little critters alive.

So R447, if someone decided to start a dog farm and ship the meat to overseas markets, you'd have no problem with it since the dogs would be used for food? Somehow I doubt it.

And if a lion's demise had been instantaneous via a shot through the heart, and his flesh had been distributed to poor Zimbabweans for food (many more than a chicken would supply, I might add), would that change your view on the acceptability of his death at all? Again, I doubt it.

I believe that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating the murdering dentist for possible violations of federal law. They have their own criminal investigators who should be aware that he is hiding in Florida, and if they don't already know would be happy to have the information.

But the African countries can really use the money for further conservation efforts (whether it goes there or not is a different story).

If a license to kill an adult lion generates income to protect a dozen more, then they do the math and issue the license. Especially as lions in the wild have extremely short life expectancies -- Cecil was already on the outward edge of wild lion lifespan.

It benefits the government to preserve wildlife because it brings in tourist dollars.

He was not allowed to kill a lion--as the Landowner upon whose land he shot Cecil was not holding a Permit to kill a lion--so that's worthy of Extradition with up to a 10 year Penalty--if Convicted!
