I haven't followed this to any great extent but believe the dentist was probably conducting himself in a less than admirable way. I'm not, however, going to label him "this or that" without definite proof (unlike many in the media). I heard one account where ALL hunters were lumped in (regardless of fact and without sane reasoning). I will no longer support that commentator or apply respect to any such ignorant, hateful bias.

It could be that the high paying world traveling hunter is victim of shady guides but I will say this; the lion was NOT on preserve land and was legally "game" on the ground where the dentist was hunting. Lions seem to have a fantastic olfactory and was merely seeking the scent that the guides were using to draw in these fantastic predator/scavengers. If they weren't purposefully getting as close as they can, with the intent of luring this famous lion exclusively, then they were doing NOTHING wrong (other than not preparing for a night hunt, causing them the archer to place a very bad shot.

Hunters do much good all around the world and, as much as I hate to admit it, TEXAS leads in this by actually preserving species that are more abundant than the animal's nation/continent of origin.

PS: I don't listen to Rush....I'm more in tune with Lars Larson; Mark Levine is OK *(when not spouting off about how GREAT that SOB Lincoln was).

I agree with you, however about planned parenthood......we need to get our priorities RIGHT.

As for hunting lions.....I see that Rush, in ways, has it all wrong. Myself, I would have always wanted to go after the big cats with a archery equipment but I REFUSE to do so under the supervision or "PAYOFF" to guides as most times this is under less than "sportsman-like" conditions. I've seen well known hunters harvest elephants who became problematic and have even witnessed hunters who helped take out man-eating tigers that developed a preference for "Indian Cuisine". As for the photos of the dentist......he's successfully taken many big game animals and if done so under my preferred fair chase......then my hat is off to him. One can't make a perfect shot all of the time but I would like to learn more about the facts in this case and hopefully we'll get an un-biased account that we're not going to get from RUSH or that SOB that I mentioned earlier.

I was going to say that. The Texas Deerhunters Association controls most of the deer in Texas. In the past they have over-populated and almost wiped themselves out by "over-grazing".

However, Africa has no such controlling force and their animals have been over-hunted for a century.

This "hunter" is no hunter. Baiting and luring a lion from a safe spot, hitting lights on him and killing him is not hunting. He did this for "sport", and even then it was no sport. He might as well have went target shooting and just bought a lion head.

His business is down for now, as is his phone, FB account and business website. I hope he completely goes out of business. There's a memorial growing in front of his business. Folks are leaving a bunch of stuffed lions. Also a few statements to the scumbag.

I think you're disagreeing with those that agree with you. The point whoever up there was making is dumbass "Save the Whales" people can't differentiate between a hunter and poacher. They're lumping them all into the same category. As usual, without any actual facts. They caught the two guides and the truth will come out.

Not to mention the leader of that counttry is the biggest poacher of them all.

I don't hunt. I know how to. I imagine hunting animals isn't much different than humans.

I DO take issue with THIS being the headline of the day today, while Planned Parenthood is ignored.

Not to you they haven't. You're so caught up in what you do you forgot your humanity. You've got no view. There's no right nor left wing to THAT. You like to blame the right when all the woes in the world are the result of the left, and ALWAYS have been, throughout the centuries.

Your front-runner is a chronic, habitual liar, but you are so programmed that "left is good, right is bad" you don't care. You'd have to think for yourself. Vote for Hillary the habitual liar. The capitalist that's against capitalists.

You harvest human bodyparts; yet, call them a clump of cells. So how can you justify abortion if they have human bodyparts? YOu get called liars and just run along and pretend it never happened and do it again. A clump of cells does NOT a human bodypart make.

Your precious front runner CLEARLY violated classified material protocol and you're just lucky the media is too stupid to know the right answer. Well, the left-wing MSM doesn't want to. It IS a violation of USC 17 to disclose classified material and/or send classified material on unsecure medium. Period.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

From all the articles I've read, this was a legitimate hunt that the Dentist paid for and the guides knowingly baited that Lion off the preserve and onto 'fair game' territory. He didn't bait the Lion, his professional guides did.

After the kill, the hunter saw them trying to remove and destroy that radio collar and suddenly understood what went down and what kind of deep shit all of them were in.

Naturally, the bleeding hearts the world over went batshit insane over it and are mobbing the Dentist because he hunted a big game animal, making him evil, and therefor knew the hunt was illegal. He paid those guides big money to ensure the rules were followed and was betrayed by their incompetence and/or disregard for following the rules (such as they are) in that part of Africa.

He had a valid license to kill a Lion and his only crime was trusting professional licensed guides to do their job correctly, and that's not his fault that they didn't adhere to the rules and then tried to cover it up.

Like I said, the truth will come out (maybe). One person can keep a secret. Three can't. If the guides are rolling around in a jeep with meat on it to lure the lion out, I'm not sure how he's going to say he didn't know.

He's also got being busting for poaching a black bear on his record. That's a hit to his benefit of doubt.

My biggest thing I stated before. Obama's giving Iran nukes. Planned Parenthood is selling bodyparts. There are enough GOP contenders to field a football team. And Cecil the Lion headlines the news.

Something wrong with this place; more exactly, about 1/3 the people in it.

Even if the lion traveled several miles (and OFF of the reserve) the fact-less libs would still crucify this hunter. What will be interesting is if they spend millions of dollars on a fence to protect lions YET we Americans allow all kinds of murderous, raping, thieving, drug-pushing, slavery scum and 'ruggers' across our border with no intention of providing a protective barrier between US and THEM.

I'm not so sure. Bullyboy is a rabid moonbat, and that speaks volumes as to his intelligence level. He's remarkably silent about Bambam's numerous failings as Prez, where he was shamelessly falling all over himself to stroke the messiah in the runup to the elections... Chris Matthews would have blushed with Bully's behavior.


I read that the baiting WAS legal, just the act of deliberately targeting that particular Lion off the preserve and then trying to destroy the radio collar was illegal... and the attempted coverup, which it doesn't appear the Dentist was involved in. And the hunter allegedly didn't know what they were up to, Cecil was a magnificent specimen that the guides knew about of course.

Poaching... I've done a lot of that. But never for sport, it was always for food.



But I do agree wholeheartedly that the animals at Planned Parenthood warrant focused scrutiny from every quarter. I think as the investigations continue we'll see a very large, profitable business uncovered in the abortion baby-part-selling industry, which is why Planned Parenthood always has a ton of money to throw at lobbyists and advertising, not to mention six-figure salaries for their murderous 'doctors'.

It's legal.

Hunters bait deer in Wisconsin, hunters bait bear in Alaska, and they bait in Africa... it's used worldwide, and one of the reasons why we're the apex predator - we use their behavior against them. Baiting has been used as a tactic since the caveman days, I'm sure. It's a lot more effective than crashing around in the brush where the hunter may end up being hunted.

Of course, in some areas (and sometimes during specific times) baiting is not legal, and there's always a controversy when an adjacent area is used to lure the animal off the protected area. Would the animal have come off the protected area on his own? Who knows?

Yeah, he got busted lying about the Black Bear. People lie to cops, and I freely admit that I have lied to cops to get out of a bind. It looks like he got busted and learned his lesson. I know many, many hunters that have been in the same predicament, especially judging whether a moose has a 50" antler spread or a 49" antler spread at 300 yards. One inch will get you into one hell of a lot of trouble with Fish & Game and they don't care if it was an honest mistake.

I don't know why y'all are debating whether or not killing Cecil is bad..the point of the OP is that it's a disgusting commentary on our allegedly free press that Cecil outrages them more than Planned Parenthood ghouls slicing up pregnant women in order to harvest their babies' organs. In fact, a judge has passed an injunction preventing the group who obtained those films (and there are more) from publicizing them until after Aug. 16 or something... "The dissection scene is grisly, to say the least. The same organization that insists it only removes “clumps of cells” has its technician pushing a fetal brain around the pie plate, while pointing out the child’s kidneys, adrenal glands, stomach, heart, and eyeballs. This came from a first-trimester fetus, a stage at which the abortion industry insists that its service has no moral consequences." http://hotair.com/archives/2015/07/30/new-planned-parenthood-video-more-price-haggling-admissions-of-procedure-changes-for-harvesting/

"... employees at StemExpress (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/stemexpress/), a for-profit company, tried to maximize the financial benefit of each fetus by obtaining the most profitable organs.“The harder and more valuable the tissue, the more money you get,” Ms. O’Donnell said. “So if you can somehow procure a brain or a heart, you’re going to get more money than just chorionic villi or umbilical cord. That’s basically what it is. So I guess that’s an incentive to try and get the hard stuff.”
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jul/29/planned-parenthood-judge-blocks-pro-life-group-rel/ The press, instead of following this story, is covering it up...while plastering outraged articles about CECIL, an AFRICAN LION on another continent, all over the place. Apparently our free press believes that shooting a trophy is a bigger crime than putting women in danger in order to kill their babies, and harvest their organs.

I think, especially given his recent troubles, he was fully aware of what he was doing. This guy is a prick. He also was basically busted for sexual assault, paying off a former employee of his. I personally don't like "sport hunting" and find it reprehensible. While I don't hunt for food and such, and never will, I would never condemn anyone else for doing so. I don't take issue with that. And even if he didn't know, taking out such an animal in the way he did - reminds me of the hunters who go places to "hunt", while the owners enclose the animal in a tiny area for them, basically guaranteeing a kill. Some want just to kill, or just a head, and aren't hunting in the slightest bit, IMO.

I've also seen a few folks go "fishing" at a damn hatchery, and then claim they fished and caught a whopper!! Hell, I can stick my hand in the water and come up with a whopper at some of those places!

IMO, it all depends on the reason, and how the kill is made. I don't mind folks hunting for deer to eat, but I WOULD mind if they used means to push them into a certain area and then shot them with long range snipers! :)

IMO, it all depends on the reason, and how the kill is made. I don't mind folks hunting for deer to eat, but I WOULD mind if they used means to push them into a certain area and then shot them with long range snipers! :)

Possibly. He could be the world's biggest prick. I don't know if he was truly unaware, and I don't think anyone knows at this point except him and his guides.

What I do see is a worldwide mob howling for his blood without knowing the details. Everyone is caught up in Lynch Mob Mode and circling with their pitchforks - and it's entirely possible that the blame for any illegal activities rests with his guides, but that fact doesn't seem to matter to anyone.

You and I disagree on this point. IMO, if you are feeding your family, it is completely reasonable to kill a deer, moose, elk, boar, buffalo, etc., using any tactics necessary to achieve your goal of putting food on the table. Being 'fair' about it doesn't enter into the equation. The last thing on my mind when I'm hunting moose or slaughtering salmon is whether or not it's fair - of course it isn't. My intelligence and equipment ensure that the odds are grossly in my favor.

Don't get me wrong, sport hunting does not equate with subsistence. There are lots of rules regarding sport hunting, as there should be, especially when we're talking about animal populations that are in decline or even endangered. Last I heard, the natural Lion population has decreased steadily and it's silly to keep killing them.

IMO, the African countries shouldn't even be allowing Lions to be hunted - but they are, because they want the thousands of U.S. dollars that every hunter brings to the table with licenses, fees, taxes, etc. This guy is being crucified worldwide when the government that is allowing it in the first place skates.

No. If it's about survival, my family gets fed.

Here's where I see a difference .... Americans/Euro's don't go to Africa to feed their families. They go to collect a trophy. That's wrong, IMO.

There is such a thing as using our resources responsibly. I prefer to hunt in the beef section at the supermarket. Lot easier. Since I don't think if the shit hits the fan I'm going to be allotted a herd of cattle, I know how to track and hunt because everyone needs to eat.

Regardless this idiot's motive, it amounts to trophy hunting and I DON'T agree with THAT,

I've never understood the whole "I don't hunt for trophies" snobbishness. If you're a good hunter, why not give the lesser animals a chance, and pit your skills against an animal that has some chance of winning? Why would you choose a small animal over a large one..even if you are in it just for the meat. And what's wrong with being proud of a trophy? Dead is dead for the animals. I don't get the deification of animals. I understand if they're owned by somebody and have been granted protection...then it's scummy to sneak in and kill them. But as far as the sheer snobbishness of "I just shoot the first thing I see and I think trophy hunters are assholes!"..I don't get it.

Hunters (trophy or otherwise) feed many in America and around the world. I agree, AB. And NT is also SPOT ON in that baiting is a SMART tactic and that is in scenting a beaver trap, barrelling for bear, or hunting a well used waterhole, corn field or stand of White Oak Acorn forests. It is predicting what the animal is going to do and BE THERE when it happens.

Now, getting back to the main theme of the author......As I've said a few pages ago or so, it is a sad day when we devote more time, attention and care to a lion who was NOT on the preservation designated for it and went gallivanting around looking for a scent that it may or may not have picked up on for miles. Like our own border..........build a freakin' fence if you want him SAFE and build our fence here in the USA if you want US safe.

Abortion is wrong and there's no logical way around that FACT.

As for trophy hunting being wrong....................................that's WRONG. I'm a trophy hunter who seeks to continue an outstanding show room but I also utilize as much of that trophy animal as I can. In fact, I get more usefulness out of a trophy animal. PERIOD. Native Americans have always been this way and have been proud of an exceptionally antlered or horned animal.....often times the more dangerous as well as a means of manhood, efficiency and wealth.

I hang my hat on the antlers and have even used the sinew for bows (I make my own bows). Turkey are mounted but I also use the feathers for my arrows. Nothing but the guts go to waste but they can also be used (I just don't use that part). Heck, you can even make bows out of the horns/antlers and I've even made some outstanding archery tabs, rugs, coats and shoes out of the hide.

Not to you they haven't. You're so caught up in what you do you forgot your humanity. You've got no view. There's no right nor left wing to THAT. You like to blame the right when all the woes in the world are the result of the left, and ALWAYS have been, throughout the centuries.

Your front-runner is a chronic, habitual liar, but you are so programmed that "left is good, right is bad" you don't care. You'd have to think for yourself. Vote for Hillary the habitual liar. The capitalist that's against capitalists.

You harvest human bodyparts; yet, call them a clump of cells. So how can you justify abortion if they have human bodyparts? YOu get called liars and just run along and pretend it never happened and do it again. A clump of cells does NOT a human bodypart make.

Your precious front runner CLEARLY violated classified material protocol and you're just lucky the media is too stupid to know the right answer. Well, the left-wing MSM doesn't want to. It IS a violation of USC 17 to disclose classified material and/or send classified material on unsecure medium. Period.

Grow up.

Paragraphs 1 and 3 of your response are non sequiturs, a poor effort at distracting from the lack of meaningful content in paragraph 2.
Facts, they stand on their own, unlike the not even half-baked confabulation being thrown up by the right wing-nut noise machine.

Food and killing cecil are two dramatically different things.

Big game hunters arent hunters, they are privledged rich guys that pay for guides to find something for them to kill and they hire backup hunters to kill it for them if they miss and to protect them. They didnt eat cecil, they want to stuff him so they can say SEE WHAT I DID.

No. A moose is considered big game, and so is a bear. I think what you mean is a trophy hunter, and you're painting with a very large brush there. If I go out and nail a 9.5' Grizzly like I did when I was 15, then I'm wrong for doing so? There weren't any guides or hired backup when it happened, either.

It's not necessarily the "trophy hunting" that irks me, while it does. It's HOW they get their trophies. I don't call that "hunting". Might as well just electrify an entire field, wait for animals to walk across a square mile area, and then hit a button and electrocute them and collect your prize.

Animals will tend to get lazy if in a zoo, or other protected areas. Imagine going to a zoo, opening a gate, tossing some meat about 50 yards over, and shooting a lion when he comes out to get it? Would that be hunting? (never mind laws for a moment)

I think it matters, where, and how. And it matters where the animal was. For example, dropping my line in my fish tank and pulling one up I wouldn't call "fishing" really either.

I think the inherent problem is that many of the people who object so strenuously to the death of a lion in Africa are completely oblivious to the abuse and exploitation of women, and the murder of babies, here..and in fact, support those things.

This "hunter" is no hunter. Baiting and luring a lion from a safe spot, hitting lights on him and killing him is not hunting. He did this for "sport", and even then it was no sport. He might as well have went target shooting and just bought a lion head.

His business is down for now, as is his phone, FB account and business website. I hope he completely goes out of business. There's a memorial growing in front of his business. Folks are leaving a bunch of stuffed lions. Also a few statements to the scumbag.

‘Wherever There Is Animal Worship There Is Human Sacrifice’

A lion and unborn children are in the news, competing for our sympathy.

The country can be divided into several camps:

those who recognize only the wrong done to the lion;

those who recognize only the wrong done to the unborn children;

those who think that the wrongs done to the lion and to the unborn children are more or less equivalent;

those whose stress is on the lion, though they’re not prepared to rationalize Planned Parenthood’s selling body parts of unborn children, either;

those whose stress is on the depravity documented in the Planned Parenthood videos, though they think the dentist shouldn’t have shot the lion.

I’m with that last group.

From G. K. Chesterton, a few apropos words:


There is a healthy and an unhealthy love of animals: and the nearest definition of the difference is that the unhealthy love of animals is serious. I am quite prepared to love a rhinoceros, with reasonable precautions: he is, doubtless, a delightful father to the young rhinoceroses. But I will not promise not to laugh at a rhinoceros. . . . I will not worship an animal. That is, I will not take an animal quite seriously: and I know why. Wherever there is Animal Worship there is Human Sacrifice. That is, both symbolically and literally, a real truth of historical experience. — G. K. Chesterton, “On Seriousness,” The Uses of Diversity (1920).
