I agree. Trophy hunting is nothing less than an ignorant activity.Never understood killing an animal unless you were starving and the grocery store was closed.
I prefer shooting targets, cans, milk jugs and illegals. None of which causes harm to society.
I understand killing an animal for survival and not just because the grocery store is closed. Some people choose to live off of the land and I am completely fine with hunting in that context or because an area is overpopulated. That's not what this is, most trophy hunting isn't.
animal was not a danger, the hunter was not hungry. no need to kill.
bet he killed it, sent it to get stuffed, then went out for a nice steak dinner to celebrate his manhood.
I bet the women were just attacking him to be their next baby daddy considering the superior genetic male specimen that he has proven to be. Not many people can pull a trigger from 100 yards and kill something. His life must have been in terrible danger at the time.
No, actually. He shot Cecil with a compound bow, let him suffer for 40 hours, shot him with a gun, beheaded him, skinned him, and left the rest to rot. That, of course, ignores the part where they intentionally lured Cecil out of the preserve and subsequently removed the GPS collar on him for the research that was being done by Oxford University. Guess they figured no one would notice a beloved lion with a very distinctive mane was missing.
All of which was legal.

Legal schmegal. Only a very small percentage of people in the whole world would even consider killing this regal beast. Walter claims he didn't know Cecil was wearing a collar - how does that square with the gun safety rules that gun nuts claim they follow? - aren't you supposed to know what you're going to point your weapon at -before- lifting your weapon - let alone taking the shot? Typical Republican, ready-shoot-think...
