During the hunt – which the organisers later admitted was badly carried out – it was alleged that Cecil was lured at night about half a mile out of the national park using bait, and then shot with a bow and arrow. The next day he was found wounded by the hunters and killed, before being beheaded and skinned.

Oops! But don’t worry. They will blame Fox News for giving an incomplete news story and make them look bad because they are in collusion with the NRA and the Lizard People from the Illuminati.

The idiocy of the anti-hunting movement gives me even stronger headaches than the anti-gun movement. Most of these people eat meat. However, they somehow believe that magic fairy pixie dust makes meat appear at their grocery stores and on their plates. The cognitive dissonance is strong with these individuals.
I keep the anti-hunters in mind whenever the gun banners begin their noise about how they’re not after hunting guns, and why do you need an Ar-15 to hunt ducks, and other crap like that.
Suuuuure. Were the gun banners to get their way with the “assault rifles” and other scary black guns, they would then join forces with the anti-hunters and try to end that as well.
On my way home I saw a woman with a “Hunting Accidents” Karma, baby, karma. She is literally saying “I like hunting accidents, because it’s karma” but yet she also had her “peace love, happiness” or some other bs.
I went on a hunt like this, thought not for Lion, but Nyati (African cape buffalo). It didn’t cost $55,000 thought, my dad and I bought raffle tickets at a Safari Club International dinner and won the trip. I’m not a hunter, so the most fun part of the trip for me was shooting all of the old guns (including a lot of cordite double guns and Nitro Express models) that our guid owned. He was a third generation professional hunter of English descent.
Well, one of the interesting things that I learned was the economics of hunting in Africa. There isn’t much in the way of jobs in many of these countries and poaching is very profitable. The local Africans are therefore either inclined to poach or let the poachers hunt on their land in exchange for bribes. But when an area becomes desirable for Safari hunting at $10,000 to $80,000+ for big game, all of a sudden, the local people have an incentive to protect the Animals on their land. The tribes defend the elephants and lions from the poachers (what they do to poachers with machetes is down right cruel). Every hunter that buys a tag that costs as much as a new car (sometimes a new Mercedes) to hunt a lion or hippo or elephant has saved the lives of countless other creatures by making an economic incentive to protect these animals from poachers and ensure sustainable harvest.
Stick that in you bong and smoke it, hippies.
P.S. I’M BACK
Somebody call the search party, we don’t need them anymore ! 😀
As a novice bowhunter, I am appalled at the stupidity of the anti-hunting crowd.
As J- described, the “tragedy of the commons” does not exist when big dollars are associated with hunting and the people have an incentive to protect their wildlife.
They will not allow excessive hunting or poaching of their animals.
All the hippie nonsense against hunting will do NOTHING to protect the animals they profess to love. However, paying for tags to take a few of the excess game population by hunting will enhance the entire region and provide meat for the locals and money into preservation. The anti-hunting and anti-firearms freaks have no discernment or intelligence. Their misplaced fear and stupidity rules them.
The Dentist is a Twin Cities area dentist. This has made the local news media and the newscasters are naming his practice. His career is dorked.
The difference between here and the Imgur gallery where the event is being publicized is like night and day.
Here: calm discussion on what happened.
there: lynch mob has already formed and is hammering the door of someone who (as far as I can tell) was just as much a victim as the lion.
