Cecil The Dead Lion

[Blue 1]

pretty sure most of the people are appalled by the fact he killed a lion for fun, the fact it was a famous lion is pretty irrelevant to the level of fume... it being famous just gave it more publicity.

Not really, the level of fume is precisely because it got more publicity, which was because it was a famous lion, and shot illegally.

Foreigners pay big money to shoot big game legally in sub-Saharan Africa all the time and it doesn't cause this level of outrage. The same bloke had shot rhinos and all sorts of stuff before without making the news.

yes it made the news because it was a famous lion but people weren't fuming because he killed a famous lion, they were fuming because he killed a lion... in a brutal and cruel way. Granted they would have never known about it if it had been some random lion.

hi lads... when's the funeral ? who's going ?

 

[Yorkie]

Didn't he shoot it with a bow and arrow first then killed it about 2 days later? I know that's not the main problem here but dragging it out and making it suffer for longer makes it a lot worse in my eyes

Then the utter disrespect shown to the carcass of the animal.....decapitated then skinned for its hide and the skinless corpse just left for the scavengers

This is all getting a bit out of hand haha... somebody has just posted an obvious spoof pic on my facebook of what looks lik steven Spielberg sitting infront of a dead Triceratops ffs and people are going nuts about it hahahaha.... the world is a really thick place at times

Well that escalated quickly.

Thanks Daily Mail​

Still can't believe there's no protest about the countries that allow these so called 'sports'. Yes that idiot will get all he deserves while these African countries allow these majestic animals to be 'hunted'.

Apparently Cedric's brother has been shot dead now, as he was protecting Cedric's cubs too.



Not having a good week are they ffs.

Throw the [Poor language removed] into a cage with a couple of lions and let them maul him

That would be a big protest. Are there any countries that don't allow hunting?
And it is also not fair to judge developing nations in Africa by Western standards. While I am in no way condoning hunting in any form, it is probably a bit easier for us with running water, electricity, low mortality rates etc to be concerned about a few dead animals than it is for those countries where you are wondering how many of your children will survive into their teenage years.

lots of money to be made from hunting in some areas , if the locals didnt have that income coming in dont think the animals would be any safer as they wouldnt have anything to gain from them sadly.
