This is just as much about class warfare as it is about hunting. Going after the rich white guys.

Curious,
If the lion cubs are doomed and the lion population is so low, why won't the animal rights idiots save the cubs and relocate them? I'm guessing they contribute nothing to the overall conservation of lions except for hot air and finger pointing? I wonder who pays for the park and all the conservation programs including shooting the poachers selling critter parts to the chicoms??? Bet it isn't the concrete living, do nothing, never been in the woods, "animal rights" fundraisers. Liberalism is a cancer. That point about the cubs caught my attention too when I saw that some were whining about the runner-up's killing the cubs so the lionesses would come into heat and they could create their own progeny. There are, as you write, several stupid positions is the reports. Focusing on this one lion and one hunter, whose hunt seemed pretty typical, except for the unresolved questions about licenses, seems quite wrong-headed to me. I do understand that "Cecil" was great-looking and it would be good for the gene pool if his cubs were preserved, but I suspect that he has already made substantial efforts in that regard. Also, it is accepted that "Cecil" (a stupid anthropomorphic idea to give such a name to a lion) is 13 years old. Given that the full life span of lions in the wild is only 10-14 years, he was about due anyway. As for the university researchers, most respected researchers that I have followed who study other species are not terribly upset if a collared specimen is taken by a hunter. That is common and is the luck of the draw. Journalists are making assumptions that I suspect are incorrect. Too bad that the PH et all. concealed the collar, but in a place like Zimbabwe, which I know a little about, who is to say others would not do the same thing. The rule of law is not so dependable there. All in all, I reserve judgment on any possible wrongdoing without more facts. I surely would not rely on the British tabloids -- or US TV comedians who pretend to be legitimate social critics (if there is such a thing.)

Some of the people wailing and gnashing their teeth are in fact just hysterical anti-hunters. There are more than a few hunters however that, based on what is coming out about this particular incident, are viewing this as closer to poaching. In fact it's my understanding there's been two actual arrests regarding poaching charges in this case.
If there's one thing I've become certain of it's that there's too much certainty in the world.

The dentist's mom just came out with a statement. I expect we will not hear anything further on the incident.

Palmer shot the lion with a bow and arrow, injuring it. The wounded lion was found 40 hours later and shot dead with a gun... Does this count as an archery kill?

My girlfriend broke up with me when she found out I was planning on baiting a bear and then killing it. I explained it is legal in Minnesota and spot and stalk really is not an option in this terrain.

I would have told her not to let the door hit her in the ass on the way out. Good Riddance

I think all the dentists should boycott by going hunting more. I know a guy who can get us a great deal on trophy pandas.

I knew some guys that used to have a competition to see who could kill the most feral cats in a year. They called themselves the Kitty Commandos.

On his late night show, Jimmie Kimmell wept while telling of the death of Cecil and how horrible the hunter was.
Jimmie, however, didn't do any weeping over Planned Parenthood selling parts of aborted baby girls and boys.
Jimmie is one tough dude, huh?
