There was a great article from National Review earlier this week on the ramifications of a society humanizing animals relating to the gorilla shooting.
The MSM saw the success of this after the Cecil the Lion incident.
Last week it was "Scarface the Grizzly Killed By Hunter" until surprise, the bear surfaces with its cubs.
Here was the article.
National Review Article. Good post Ransome. Unfortunately, we've been told for months by the cognoscenti here at 24hour that National Review is a RINO, Neo-Con loser of a rag (since they oppose Trump) and therefore we can't trust a thing they write.
Sorry.
Nice try though.
FWIW, I like NR too. Lots of good, conservative analysis there. Unfortunately, conservatives aren't welcome here by a high percentage of the folks on this forum.
Thanks. NR does have some good pointed analysis as leaders of the #NeverTrump crowd though don't agree 100%...Between bad and worse I'll take bad given the number of SCOTUS vacancies. Their editor Rich Lowry did however have this insulting bit of presumptious piety regarding hunters and hunting"
"The question is what should the Cincinnati Zoo have done when forced to choose between the welfare of a prodigious animal and a small human?
This wasn't a case of a hunter who went out of his way at great expense and trouble to shoot a lion or some other glorious creature for the triumphant photo with the carcass and the trophy on the wall back home. This wasn't a poacher who killed for tawdry profit.
This wasn't a fly-by-night roadside attraction abusing the poor creatures in its clutches.
This was a serious, responsible institution confronted with a life-and-death crisis, in real time and not of its devising."
