Updated: I have my opinion. Sportsmen, what say you?

Legally killed on a legal safari. Not my thing at all, but why was he a "douchebag"?

I mean, they set up camp across from a protected reserve and lured him out. Kinda douchy, legal as it was. Then he wounded him and took almost 12 hours to finish the kill. Dude was hunting big/dangerous game with a bow and probably should have used somethign bigger/cleaner for the kill.

I thought that was pretty well known. Sure he could say he "didn't know" but I'm thinking he probably knew enough, considering the amount of money he paid the guies to go kill a lion.

I get it the guy is a scumbag for parading around with the wolf, i dont like it either. I guess its the level of outrage for an animal mistreated seems to be higher than human victims. Maybe im wrong or i perceive it differently than others.

My grandparents told us about some lynching's they witnessed when they were growing up in Georgia during the Johnny Reb Confederate Flag days. No regard at all for human beings what so ever. Evil men always do unconscionable things when they are not held accountable for their behavior.

If I shot a lion with a bow, I wouldn't be too anxious to track him. Hell people here "back out and go back the next day" to find deer.
Like I said, lion hunting, not my bag but the outrage over "beloved Cecil" was inexplicably off the chart. This dildo and the wolf will be the next cause celeb. At least this has merit IMO but I'm not going to feed any legal over reaction.

So do otherwise "normal" men. We live in an age of no accountability with less and less encouraged and lobbied for daily. It's why I can't watch the news.

It's not my bag either, I just think somebody in that hunting group had to know he was a protected lion from a protected reserve. I'm not for any legal over reaction, but I hope he gets publicly flogged. And I am enjoying seeing the internet do it's thing.

Both these thugs, in my opinion alone, had no sense of right and wrong instilled in them, ever, as in, motivation learned from ethical or moral principles that govern a person's thoughts and actions. Their ancestry bears the responsibility for their evil ways and society a burden of guilt for allowing/defending it. That covers many centuries of history, I believe.

There's lots of things that are legal that still ain't right? Remember according to one judge illegals can legally possess firearms. I gotta feeling that this guy is going to be like the butt of this old joke. You ain't got to tell every thing you do

​

Tell it all, brother!​

A preacher, one day, decides to really lay into his congregation. "I want you to declare your sins here, today! Let the Lord take your sin away! Tell it all, brothers and sisters! Tell it all!"
A man stands up and says, "Preacher, I been taken by the sin of adultery. I fool around on my wife, she deserves better. I am a sinner and not fit to live." The preacher shouts, "Tell it all, brother! Tell it all!"
A woman stands and declares, "Preacher, I am possessed of the sin of gambling. I spend my house money at the casino, while my children are hungry and neglected. I am a sinner before the Lord." "Tell it all, sister! Tell it all!"
Another man stands up and says, "Preacher, the love of money has ruined my life. I spend all my days at work, spurning my family, and hoarding gold that could be better spent on the needy and friendless." "Tell it all, brother! Tell it all!"
Then one guy way in the back stands up and says, "Preacher, last night I made love to a goat."
And the preacher says, "Damn! I don't believe I'da told that."
