Killing majestic animals for "sport"

[AdultKing]

The guy is obviously an asshole.

the guide lured the lion out of his natural habitat so this fuckwad could shoot him.

[SilentKnight]

I think we should be allowed to hunt the dentist.

What a douche.

[C H R I S]

I bet he will never kill another animal again.

His life is basically over.

[2MuchMark]

Hey Walter Palmer - I hope you fucking kill yourself. Please do it.

[Jman]

He skinned and beheaded this beautiful animal. I say an eye for an eye.....

That would be too nice. He deserves a special kind of dental surgery

[Spunky]

I can understand hunting for food but never trophy hunting.It is cruel

[Relic]

[ClaireMonroe]

What a turd he is. He'll claim it's in the name of "sport." I don't really see any sport in what he did. There was no danger and he doesn't even need the animal except for a trophy. How can he be proud of luring an almost tame cat into an area where he can play target practice? Lame and disgusting.

[L-Pink]

Any serious hunter takes pride in his shot. Wounding and tracking a suffering animal for 2 days is torture not hunting.

[TangibleAsset]

I don't understand all the uproar about this. Why is it not OK to shoot a lion but shooting a bear, warthog, moose, etc. is perfectly acceptable? If he had taken the lion's carcass home to make jerky out of would that make it alright? He paid $55,000 for a license to do this, it's not like he knowingly participated in an illegal hunt. Additionally, the money people pay to hunt big game like this typically goes towards funding the animal preserves. I doubt any of you are sending money to national parks in Africa-- at least this guy is actually helping to keep them open (even if it is in a very perverse way).

EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm not a hunter and have never been hunting. I just don't understand what all the fuss is about.

To many people, shooting any of those animals is unacceptable.

It's one thing to farm for food, but to kill for sport is a bit fucked up.

[EliteWebmaster]

One can only hope that someone will do the same to him, literally. The world would be a better place without him around. There are people who hunt other people for sport too. It would be nice if someone put a price on this asshole dentist's head.

Fact is - he DIDN'T take the carcass home to make beef jerky.

He killed a noble, protected animal - for SPORT.

Or did you gloss over the story details in your haste to post an assholish comment?

the damn guide for this admitted luring the lion out of the preserve so this guy could kill it, and we're supposed to believe that sort of criminal donates his $55,000 fee back to the park.

but we're the bad guys because, you know, hunting.

Exactly, they stalked Cecil. This douche probably saw Cecil on national geographic and the sick fuck's dick went hard thinking how cool it would be to kill it. So he hired the guide to lure the lion out so he could kill it. This was all premeditated, it was not a hunt, it was an execution.

Why was my comment assholish? I just don't understand what makes it OK to shoot a bear/moose/whatever but not a lion.

Wow i hope that dentist gets murdered from a karma outrage

I read the money went to the owner of the land next to the park.

Hunting most animals that are a good food source is also a needed conservation measure. Deer for instance don't really have any natural predators left to thin out the herd. Over population can lead to disease, malnutrition, wandering into populated areas looking for food, etc.

Deer hunting is regulated, licensed, populations monitored. And the hunters eat what they kill. Granted trophy heads are prized but so is the meat.

But what about all the species that are hunted that don't fall into that category? Bears, for example?

Why is it nonsense?

In 2012, foreign hunters spent $115 million in South Africa, where the hunting industry as a whole brings in more than $744 million annually and employs 70,000 people. It is the single most lucrative form of commercial land use.

Susie Offord, Save the Rhino’s deputy director, maintains trophy hunting is a useful conservation tool if managed properly.

Tourism and donations do not come close to covering the billions of dollars needed, says zoologist John Hanks, former head of the World Wildlife Fund’s South Africa chapter. “I think trophy hunting in South Africa is absolutely essential if we are going to look for long-term future for rhinos in the whole of Africa,” Hanks said. “… There’s hardly a single country anywhere that can afford to run its national parks as they should be run. … Here we are in South Africa, one of the richest countries in the continent, Kruger Park has a million visitors a year and [it] still cannot afford to defend the rhinos.”

According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, trophy hunting "provides an economic incentive" for ranchers to continue to breed those species, and that hunting "reduces the threat of the species' extinction".

The National Wildlife Federation supports hunting because "under professional regulation, wildlife populations are a renewable natural resource that can safely sustain taking."

South African Environmental Affairs Minister, Edna Molewa, states that the hunting industry has contributed millions to South Africa's economy in past years. In the 2010, hunting season, total revenue of approximately R1.1-billion was generated by the local and trophy hunting industries collectively. "This amount only reflects the revenue generated through accommodation and species fees. The true revenue is therefore substantially higher, as this amount does not even include revenue generated through the associated industries as a result of the multiplier effect," according to Molewa

etc. etc.

If either of the situations are indeed the case, isn't that on them and not the guy who spent $55,000 and went through the proper legal channels to hunt a lion? Apparently there are places in South Africa that you can go to hunt a lion for only $12,000 so I doubt this guy knowingly went and spent 4-5x the amount of money to do it illegally.

[MiamiBoyz]

I hope the guy gets the most painful (yet slowest killing) type of cancer and suffers each day until he finally shoots himself in the head bringing this event full circle.

etc. etc.

you mean like the black bear this shithead shot and killed outside the hunting zone and dragged back into the zone and got caught lying about that 2 years ago?

or the fact this guy cut the tracking collar off the lion he shot after they tied a dead animal to their car and drove around at night to lure the lion out of its protected habitat so they could kill it?

look, you're the one needing to defend this guy while pointing your finger at the rest of us because there's not a corresponding dead bear thread so really.

[crockett]

The most interesting thing, is he's a convicted felon. He was found guilty previously of lying to game wardens when he shot a bear in a protected wildlife area. The guy seems like a lying scumbag..

He also shouldn't be able to legally own any guns here in the U.S. being a convicted felon. I wonder if they will try to get him on that, if it turns out he has guns here in the states.

There are countries in Africa where fucking a 13-14 year old girl is legal also. Does that make it right?

He doesn't actually have to own the firearm, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon is enough. Photos of him in the US with a gun, checked firearm under his name while flying, etc.

[TangibleAsset]

I'm not defending him, I don't know much about the situation outside of the headlines and a quick glance at an article or two. Like I said, I don't hunt, I'm just posing a question. I just wish people felt this passionate about things that actually matter.

@L-Pink: Apples to oranges

[Rob]

Zimbabwean police are searching for the man who ILLEGALLY killed a protected lion. Oops...I sure it will only be a matter of time before he's caught and the jails in Africa aren't like Club Med federal facilities in the U.S. Have fun, asshole! I hope they ass rape you every day. Such a senseless killing.

It's apparent there's a lot you don't understand.

But nice troll job. I'm convinced that was your end goal here.

[MrBottomTooth]

Apparently he's killed a rhino before too, if the stuff I glanced at on facebook was accurate.

[Best-In-BC]

Probly the typical lion hunt, came from a petting zoo for tourist to play with when there young, brought to a farm to grow up, and sold to a hunter to hunt, meat is never wasted or its a wild life sanctuary paid hunt where the meat feeds a village and pays to keep lions around in a broke ass world they live in.

It's legal to shoot black bears, why is that any less despicable than shooting a lion? When was the last time you ate bear meat? They are hunted to be stuffed and put on display just like a lion but you don't see people ruining a man's life when tens of thousands of people go out and pick up their bear hunting tags every year.

@SilentKnight and Jman:

[TangibleAsset]

And to clarify, I understand that this doesn't necessarily apply to this guy because he has a shady past but if you could answer my questions objectively rather than subjectively that would be great.

[LeRoy]

He killed Cecil the Lion.. he's so fucked!

[Best-In-BC]

Cat no, Cow ok ? Huh

well some are special. the other lions blow their fuking heads off!!! you can get a lion burger here. cost like 20 bucks

[johnnyloadproductions]

10-15 years ago he'd probably would have been able to get out of this relatively unharmed.
Even if he gets out, his practice is permanently stigmatized.

He's also a sexual predator

You know what I would love to see? The word "Sport" to be stripped of all hunting with guns of all animals.

There is absolutely nothing sportsman or sports-like to kill an animal from a hundred feet away with a high powered rifle and telescopic site.

2 Equally matched people or teams fighting for a goal is a sport. A naked guy in the forest with only his bare hands to kill an animal with is a sport. Anything else he has such as a weapon or even clothing gives him an unfair advantage.
