Scumbag dentist from Minnesota killed Cecil the Lion — Page 2

For a while the negative Yelp reviews were being deleted right and left. I gather they (he?) have given up.

He's "upset."

GUARDIAN: US dentist accused of killing Cecil the lion 'upset' as hunter becomes hunted: As Zimbabwean police say he faces poaching charges, Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer faces furious criticism on social media

It's sad he won't ever have to answer for his actions, because I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the U.S. does not have an extradition agreement with Zimbabwe. I do wonder how he'd fare in a Zimbabwean prison.

I gather that several posters were in their feelings when they contributed to this thread. It is worth mentioning however that there are scores of individuals on the planet who find the elective abortion of human fetuses as equally appalling as Dr. Palmer's favorite sport. No judgment here on either count.

The narcissist killer's claim that that this was a "legal" act is dumbfounding. And, what is the phrase "taking"? Revolting!

"Actually, I'm going to assume... "

No, no! BAD Headband! BAD!

How many times do I have to tell you that EVERY TIME you begin a sentence with the words "I'm going to assume..." not ONLY are you wrong but you are also TROLLING?

You may not--EVER!--assume what anyone else believes. Because when you do, you are--ALWAYS--lacking in comprehension or nuance.

Unless people have started having late term abortions for sport the analogy doesn't make sense.

The dentist had no interest in the meat - only the trophy of the lion's head. NPR reports that the male lion who will replace Cecil will kill his offspring - so further death at the hands of the narcissistic dentist!

"It is worth mentioning however that there are scores of individuals on the planet who find the elective abortion of human fetuses as equally appalling as Dr. Palmer's favorite sport. No judgment here on either count."

I think you are reaching here. Too far.

"I feel like a better straw man analogy would be comparing this to eating meat, not late term abortion."

I know of no one personally who has eaten a human fetus or lion meat. However, I'm acquainted with a number of women who opted to terminate at least one pregnancy at some point in their lives. For some individuals (and institutions) such an act at any stage of gestation is considered murder unequivocally. I'm not here to play judge and jury in the lives of those women, their adversaries, nor in Dr. Palmer's. Nor do I presuppose what LizasHeadBand intended to convey to the group. Everyone has a right to go to his or her personal hell in their own way is my only suggestion.

If your attitude is so live and let live, then why are you bringing it up in this thread which is not about abortions? Make your own thread.

I guess I need to spell it out. People eat meat. People take pictures of themselves with their dead meat. The animals that become meat are often treated awfully in deplorable conditions. I could see chastising those people who are bent out of shape over this lion thing if they are people who eat meat more than I can understand chastisting pro-choice people who are bent of out shape over the death of this lion. I will just rephrase LH's comment and maybe some of our thickerheaded posters will finally get the gist.

Actually, I'm going to assume that many of those up in arms about the inhumane slaying of one lion have no problem turning around and endorsing/approving the practice of the inhuman slaying of animals for food.
