Unborn baby? You're fucked, pal.

The hypocrisy is truly astonishing.

Well, LOGIC would tell you it would be those who are fine with killing unborn children. Of course, with liberals, logic rarely if ever applies.

Do you think American's aren't bound by the laws of countries they visit? Or just when animals are involved?

I can't wait to read your rationale.
Yes, I am shrugging off the comical nature of what should be a MISDEMEANOR offense making national news..
Yes, Americans are bound by the laws of other countries they visit. If they are arrested and charged with something in a foreign country they should get a fair hearing/trial. Extradition is a big f'ing deal. It can involve State Depts/embassies on both sides, courts on both sides, and can be considerable cost on both sides. So if they are charged AFTER they have returned to the US they should only be extradited for murder, attempted murder..maybe a few other serious felonies. This doesn't rise to that. Not even close..
It doesn't matter what you think the law should be. I thought you Republicans were for following the law?

It's 2015 and he's from Minnesota. The only reason for killing a lion is to go home and brag that you did it.

So my friends who just got back from your area...their stories about your "water born pathogens" and "flesh eating ****" and " don't shower/drink water/go in the water" are all false?

Your state really is a :thumb: for tourists. :?

They had to change hotels just so they could TAKE A **** SHOWER!!!

Before you go all douchy on me, they were staying in a pretty nice place...they had to move 20 **** miles to find a place that was "safe". They still were cautious. Great state you live in. :dunce:


EDIT: Lets not forget your great food/bar scene. Talk about a **** show. The smell was worse than anything. Think raw sewage mixed with burnt rubber...and yet the locals and tourists flocked to the area. They walked around for a few minutes before they left to go someplace that actually seemed habitable.

Guess living below sealevel isn't a great idea :roll: **** dummies
I heard there is a petition out gathering signatures to change the name of the State to Piss.

Bald Eagles are protected, lions are not protected, and are considered big game. If someone shoots a Bald Eagle they deserve to punished by law, if someone shoots a lion illegally, they deserve to punished by the law.

665 Approx number of 'trophy' lions killed for export from Africa per year
49 Lion 'trophies' exported from Zimbabwe in 2013
0.29% Contribution to GDP of Zimbabwe from trophy hunting
17% Of Zimbabwe's land given to trophy hunting

"Why did da man kill da Lion...aaaaaaWAAAA."

GD, some undeveloped people simply aren't capable of understanding the concept of hunting. They prefer to allow a species in the food chain to overpopulate and starve.
California is another perfect example...for many years, California, being "guided" by legislative activists, ratched down both deer and bear regulations and permits. Then, deer counts started creeping up, and they began overselling deer tags. Now, deer have dropped way too low, bear are oversaturated and moving into lower elevations trying to survive. The State, in response is begging hunters to take bear tags...hell, most deer zones are crawling with bear, but deer are still scarce.
If you want bear, come on down.
The activists make white noise...everyone is better off just ignoring them.

Mugabe's b-day party:
2 Buffalo, 2 sables, 5 Impalas, baby elephant. Lion, shot & mounted. Crocodile, shot & mounted.

Any libtards protesting the killing of Cecil who weren't protesting Mugabe's b-day party are a bunch of fokking hypocrites. I bet most of those idiots protesting at the dentist's office haven't ever hunted, have no clue who Mugabe is, and couldn't point out Zimbabwe on a map...

Hopefully it will curb illegal poaching.

Despite the passing of harsher laws for poachers in 2011 illegal hunting in Zimbabwe is still big business. Poaching syndicates earn hundreds of thousands of dollars exporting ivory and animal skins. Many conservationists believe allowing the community to reap the benefits of wildlife management — by, ironically, running the sorts of safaris on which Palmer shot his lion — will help curb illegal poaching. But it is impossible to have that debate while the world brays for the ruin of a lone Minnesotan dentist, and fails to criticize a regime whose policies were responsible for the almost complete extinction of Zimbabwean wildlife in the first place.

That might not be the sort of safari they want to use as an example, but I get the point. ;)

Calling names and making up stories now. The lion was not shot in a reserve, he was lured out of a reserve and then shot, that is what the uproar is about. Please research before apologizing to me.
