🙂, they should make the dentist pull some teeth of a hippo or a nile croc 😉
He should dedicate the rest of his career to improving the dental health of wild lions all across Africa.
Open wide Kitty!
Well the poor guy was on a legal hunt and was brave enough to use a bow and arrow. The hunting of Lions with rifles happens legally every day, it is not this poor guys fault the guys he paid to hunt stole the Lion from a national park.
Zimbabwe is really screwing up their hunting industry in the name of politics. If it was a local, no big deal, now that it is an American the regime can score some political points.
I agree, the hype is ridiculous - but he did give everyone a chance to feel morally superior to a dumb redneck for a few days. Meanwhile people die and live in misery every day all over Africa while corrupt leaders loot their own countries and terrorists destroy stuff and kidnap people.
If that lion didn't have a name, there's no way the story would have gone viral. "Dentist kills popular lion in safari hunt" vs "Dentist kills beloved Cecil the lion on safari hunt"...the sound of it makes you feel like he just murdered Tony the Tiger.
Humans are emotional schmucks when it comes to anthropomorphizing pets but then don't much care how we handle 95% of the other animals we own. Give something a name and suddenly it's a veritable family member.
Nope, this is incorrect, a Puma did.
only the pacifistic vegans can come out looking good at the end of it all
ps. farm factoried chicken, pigs, and cows have names, too
#livestockmatters
as long as it gets on my plate i don't give a shit.
Nope, never give them names!
