yeah well zoo animals probably are killed every day, if not, then probably at least monthly. Same as people themselves, wild animals, pets.
The moment a well-known or close one dies, it's a big deal. Not trying to be harsh or anything, but that's how it is. |

So you think it's okay for someone to think that killing an innocent animal is fun? Are you ****ing serious? With that logic you might as well say that it's okay for serial killers to murder people because they enjoy it.

@those like "wawawaAAA that's gross yOre sick": Why do we have to state things like fact? YOU think hunting for game is gross because YOU don't like it.
People like things you don't, big whoop. Please grow up. While I get kinda squeamish around corpses and such and I don't see myself hunting for the hell of it anytime in the future, I can at least stand for the preference of others. May that be a fair warning to anyone here that isn't straight, like half the world thinks you have problems. The animals that should be hunted in my opinion are ones on legal hunting grounds and are registered grounds for game that is on the LC list. Overpopulation is a thing, folks. We don't hunt, ecosystems get obliterated and go out of whack. Please leave your thinking caps on. This lion getting brutalized was one thing, anyone that is for the kill is wrong by majority, but hunting in general on regulated lands are fine and if you don't like hunting, don't hunt. Easy as that. You will get nowhere wasting your time repulsing over hobbies you dislike.

I mean if you think hunting and killing an already endangered species for fun is okay, that's your problem... Edit: Didn't see that last part. But still, I've already established that doing it for food is fine. But there's no excuse for the others who hunt just because they think it's enjoyable.

Good ahead and hate on me all you want. But I will stand by what I said. He paid money for a clean business. To my knowledge, this man broke no laws. The world cannot change because you don't approve of something. My family regularly hunts. Yes. We always use the meat. But the reason they go out for hunting is not for the meat, but for the fun. They are good people and don't wasted the meat. I won't stand by hunters who break laws in order to hunt. But if they follow all laws. I will stand by them.

No I read it and I get what you're saying, but we aren't talking about a deer or anything, we're talking about a lion. Lions are killed all the time, and it's not for food either. The way things keep going, lions and other animals will be nearly extinct before long. I don't know if you know this, but certain animals going extinct can cause a problem for the ecosystem too. And Cecil's death just shows how hunting is still an issue.

I specifically stated killing only animals on the least concern list and on legal grounds with rightful permission can be subject to game. I also very strongly asserted that I am against Cecil's hunter's aforementioned actions. Just before, you stated killing any animal because it's 'innocent' to some degree is horrible no matter the circumstances and I set that straight.

This man paid that much money to those men to insure he wasn't breaking any laws. He trusted them to guide Him so He would not break any laws. Therefore. This man should not be hated nor punished for something he didn't realize was wrong. He was mislead. And yes. Sometimes killing lions is legal and okay. It is very hard to do in today's world. But it's stil legal sometimes.

But he did break laws. To quote Zimbabwe National Parks, “In this case, both the professional hunter and land owner had no permit or quota to justify the offtake of the lion and therefore are liable for the illegal hunt." (source) Zimbabwe Conversation Task Force has also confirmed the hunt was illegal. This man killed the lion for the sole purpose of taking a trophy. He took the lion's head and skin and left the rest to rot. That is wasteful, not to mention the underhanded baiting he and his guides used to purposefully lead the lion off protected grounds. Also, as one of the sources pointed out, he has been in trouble for manipulating a hunt before in an attempt to make an illegal hunt appear legal. A perfect example is when he hunted a bear, killed it outside of his legally allowed range, and then dragged it back in the range in order to register it. He said he was misled on this one and didn't realize it was wrong. Given his past, I'd say he knew damn well what he was doing. |

My family hunts regularly. I have an uncle with 11 children. And that's a lot of mouths to feed. Hunting is a cheap, and a way he enjoys, to get meat for his family to eat. He's not a blood thirsty criminal. He enjoys spending the day up in a tree with his sons. Waiting. Talking. Sharing stories. It's a way his family bonds. When you hunt. You try and make the kill as painless as possible. But honestly. Those animals were put on earth to be eaten. Whatever God you believe in but then here for us. Criticizing someone's lifestyle is not a good thing to do. I'm assuming you've been raised in a city all your life. Because out here in hickville USA. hunting brings people together. It bonds people. A group of guys go out hunting. Bring the animal back. Butcher it. And then the women cook it. We then all gather around the fire as it cools and shares stories. My stepdad tell how his bro almost fell out of the tree because a squirrel scared him. Hunting is something some people enjoy. Get over it. It's a way some people provide food for their family. I am not defending illegal hunting. I am defend hunting for sport and legal hunting.
