Hunting doesn't bother me but this is disgusting.

Cecil wasn't the only one having a hard time in Zimbabwe...

To Ease An Economic Meltdown, Zimbabwe Considers Returning Farmland : The Salt : NPR

That might be a challenge seein' 's how they murdered most of those people who didn't choose to flee (before they were murdered).

That sounds kinda like. "Kill me once, shame on you. Kill me twice..."

We could actually view this as an opportunity. Would the potential financial rewards justify the security expenditures necessary for operating a large farm in Rhod . . . er . . . Zimbabwe?

Probably not.

Answer to the OP, because he is rich and he wanted to. Outside of that, the Lion is a nuisance animal over there, and it killed people. That said, who are you to judge? Have a great day, and get your undies in a wad over something that affects you a bit more, and affects your longevity more...

We can't get killed again.

Great post! This should be on every page.

Yet another perfect example of how some VERY well educated

I heard that some Philly cops saw Hitch trying to hitchhike and they pulled over and told him to stop. When he continued to defiantly hold his thumb in the air, ignoring their orders.......well things didn't go well for him.

Ty creates 'Cecil the Lion' Beanie Baby - 13 WTHR Indianapolis

Beanie Babies are great for target practice. They have just enough weight for a good toss in the air and if you miss, they scoot along the grass when shot with a .22. After the initial run I'll probably be able to buy them for $.50 cents at yard sales and create my own big game hunt. Might even make a wall mount of I get one in mint condition...

Ah...I had heard he tried to vote.

Indeed so, and most people are too busy worrying about a damned lion to notice the difference!

The twitterverse is uninterested. There's no one to mob-shame.

According to Police State, one cop yelled "get down" continuously while the other yelled "don't move", which was followed by the firing of 48 rounds (yes, there was a reload, tactical or not), 3 of which grazed an extremity. The bot was then handcuffed (it was less than 2 years old!), and placed in the back of a police van....and we see the results.

I know you made this up because no one yelled, "STOP RESISTING"!

 

[HoughMade]

I know you made this up because no one yelled, "STOP RESISTING"!

Sorry- left out the third cop who showed up after the shots were fired who tazed the bot while yelling that and then beat it with his baton while it was loaded in the van.

If it makes anyone feel better, after the 90 minute, 7 mile ride to the police station and 6 hours in a holding cell, they called the Geek Squad, but it was too late.

I'd probably care more about this if the lion didn't have such a stupid name.



On second thought....nope, still don't care.
