I love to hunt.. all for it. But I don't see the need to kill animals that are already going extinct. I know there are some hunts for Elephants and such that are supposedly helpful to the herd. But paying someone to track and bring in the animal for you to shoot is crazy to me... I cant even stand these "Trophy Deer" hunts. These things are more like tame pets than they are prey. The "HUNT" is the fun not the actual shooting.
I'm like you .. Pay a guide to take you fishing but this seems extreme to me .
Again I don't give a damn when we have other problems that face us . If I was that doctor I be getting to the kingdom islands .

I hear the mad dentist is now planning a safari to Zoo Atlanta to bag Xi Lan the Panda Bear.
Sorry, it's a low life SOB that does something like this. There is nothing honorable about killing an endangered animal like this. He should go to jail. And no I'm not animal freak. I eat steak. This behavior is despicable and senseless.
Well there was no outage really when a illegal immigrant murder that poor woman in S.F and now in Ohio.
No doubt it's bad but let's get real .

It's ridiculous to act like we have to have an otherwise perfect world before we start caring about issues like this.
The SOB deserves to lose his dental practice and do some jail time. PLUS pay a hefty fine to help finance those trying to do good for these magnificent creatures.
I'm not condoning what this man did by any means, however, he says he believed it was a legal hunt. Whether it was legal or not, imo, the lion shouldn't have been killed. The man should and will be punished.
“I hired several professional guides, and they secured all proper permits,” Palmer’s statement read. “To my knowledge, everything about this trip was legal and properly handled.
“I had no idea that the lion I took was a known, local favorite, was collared and part of a study until the end of the hunt. I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt.”
“Again, I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion,” the statement concluded.
What bothers me more is the main stream liberal media outrage over a killing of a lion, but lack of outrage from the main stream liberal media over the killing of thousands of babies and the harvesting of their body parts for money.

He knew what he did. Buried the lions gps collar. There are indeed plenty of other things to be outraged over. This is just one more. Sorry it doesn't rank high on your priority list of Worldly concerns but it clearly resonates with many people across the globe.
I love to hunt deer. I love to eat deer as well. Nothing better than cubed back strap with grits and gravy. I hunt in Georgia and the Midwest for whitetail. All of the whitetail are free range deer and are a nuisance in the places I hunt. My father in law is a farmer and just this weekend we counted over 40 sets of eyes in his peanuts. That's probably about 30 too many for that particular field. I support hunting free range animals to the fullest degree but animals that are endangered or animals that are behind a fenced in area and have been genetically bread or altered is not hunting in my opinion. Its more or less shooting fish in a barrel.
For me it just sums up where our society has gone and how messed up our perspective and moral compass regarding human life vs. animal life. First off I don't hunt or agree that the guy should have killed the lion. But, listen to the hate, the outrage of killing an animal. I repeat, AN ANIMAL. Where have we gone as a nation that this is looked upon as a greater offense than the destruction of a human being inside a woman's womb. Diehard said he should go to jail for killing the lion. Not calling you out but do you place the life of a lion above that of an unborn child? Please America, wake up.
WTF are you talking about. I never mentioned anything about abortion. You are comparing this to abortion. For your information, I think they are both henious acts. I wouldn't want to stand before my Maker and give an account for either act. I value all life, especially a baby in a mothers womb. There is nothing redeeming about killing a majestic animal for sport.
He's not comparing this to abortion. He is simply stating that America/the media is more concerned with the dentist killing this lion than if the dentist was an abortion doctor who set the record for abortions over the course of a week. That would be a non-story.
That what I'm saying and even illegals killing U.S citizens. The list goes on and on but people care about some damn lion .
Diehard it's not about comparing one act to the other, but can you explain why the killing of a lion is covered by the media and progressives are ranting about the terrible dentist, yet there is no coverage about innocent human life. If you could look at it from a religious point, would you want to be the dentist or the abortion doctor at judgment day? I suppose because abortion is "legal" there is no outrage about the snuffing out of human life. I feel bad for the lion, I feel terrible for the loss of human life. There is no comparison, my final answer.
No, it's not high on my priority list. No reason for you to apologize.
And, I'm not comparing the killing of a lion with the killing of thousands of babies and harvesting their body parts for money either. The two are not comparable. One is a much more heinous act than the other. A little soul searching should be able to tell you which is what.
My point was the lack of outrage from the liberal media over PP. It seems their outrage, or faux outrage, whichever you prefer, is more of a distraction from the real issues that plague our country.
All I know is how I feel about it. I'm not doing either. I can't control other people. Of course a human life is more important than a lion. Why is it an either or? Senseless to kill a lion for sport. Insane to be selling body parts from abortions. These people are the scum of the earth. They too will have to give an account for their behavior to their Maker. That's all I'm saying.
I am against abortions except in special cases. This abortion on demand thing is out of control.

It's a lion that was able to roam freely. It's not like the doc shot the lion through a game fence and cut a hole in the fence to go get it .
Now if baiting was unlawful then do what we do . Write him a ticket fine him and take his money .

Conflating disparate subjects serves neither cause well.
What good comes from dismissing one wrong because there are other wrongs in the world ?
I feel the same way, and have no issue with rape or incest being the source of the pregnancy or if the mother's life is threatened by going full term. Where I struggle with abortion is when it is treated as and used as and considered as just another form of birth control. I'm also in favor of the LITERAL CONCEPT of "Planned Parenthood." There should be plenty of information and supplies and medications to go around for anyone who needs them. Even to use that one night of passion that most of us have all experienced, where doing the right thing the right way just did not fit the moment, is okay with me as a one time (1 time only) excuse to line up for that abortion that will save both parties and both sets of parent(s) considerable on going costs in all respects. BUT, to allow the pregnancy to go 3,4, 5 months before doing a damn thing at all is simply NOT excusable......NOT with all the abundantly available information and effective medications that are available to the terminally uninformed among us.
As Dennis Miller has said something to this effect, "I have no problem with helping the helpless, have grown tired of helping the clueless"
