Scumbag dentist from Minnesota killed Cecil the Lion — Page 4

" Again, I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion. That was never my intention."

THIS lion.

What an assh***.

What a complete son-of-a-you-know-what.

I'm not against people hunting un-endangered animals for food. I grew up in a rural area, and for some families, especially poorer ones, a deer could give them meat in their freezer to last them a good while.

But hunting down beautiful creatures just for the "thrill" of killing them, I cannot understand. What the hell does anyone get out of doing that? Beyond me.

It's been startling to observe how many people instantly opted to school us in the dangers of "mob mentality on the internet." FB is awash with self-appointed moral arbiters, either fretting over this man's "loss of livelihood" or checking the masses for their shallow desire to bring ruinous harm to a hardworking dentist's family. In 72 hours, this man's "innocent children" have inspired as much empathy as Sam DuBose's. The new normal, the presumption of a hierarchy of news cycle dictated human rights lite. I finally shut up one incensed scold by saying, "I wouldn't want the man who cut off Cecil's head to put his fingers in my mouth." Sometimes, it's that simple. "Loss of livelihood." Please.
