After Killing Famous Lion, Internet Outrage Forces The Killer To Close His Dental Office

ADVERTISEMENT

Cecil the lion was one of the most popular attractions at Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park – until he was killed by Walter Palmer, a dentist from the U.S. who paid $55,000 for the “pleasure” to kill the 13-year-old wildlife celebrity. The backlash from animal lovers around the world has been so strong that the dentist’s website has shut down and his office is shuttered.

Palmer, a trophied wild animal hunter, paid a guide to lure the wild cat out of the park at night so he could be poached. He shot and wounded Cecil with a bow, but was only able to kill the big cat 40 hours later. Cecil was beheaded and skinned – his carcass remained unused.

Not only did his lion hunt kill a local celebrity at the park, but, according to the Zimbabwean Tourism Authority, the hunt was illegal, and a criminal investigation is currently underway. African cat’s death will affect more than just him and his fans. Now that Cecil is gone, other male lions will probably kill off the 24 cubs that he had left with his pride to ensure that their own bloodlines live on instead.

That was until authorities found him shot. His carcass had been left, skinned and beheaded, outside of the park. The killers even tried to hide his tracking collar – but they failed

Someone had paid a guide $55,000 to lure him out of the park at night and shoot him with a crossbow. They tracked him for 40 more agonizing hours until he was finally killed

The Zimbabwean Tourism Authority later identified Walter Palmer, a dentist and trophy hunter from Minnesota, as the culprit

The Internet has responded angrily to his actions, and Palmer has been forced to close his dental office

Locals have covered the front door with flowers, signs and stuffed animals as a memorial for Cecil

The Yelp reviews have been especially brutal, dropping his rating to 1:

Even Ricky Gervais, a comedian, actor and animal rights activist, weighed in:

Zimbabwean authorities are looking for Palmer and investigating the killing, but he is reportedly back in the U.S.

In a statement, Palmer said “I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt… I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion”

How can someone be so f*****g happy posing over a DEAD being? You lack empathy and compassion and that is tragic. That lion had a family and was affectionate and very much alive and you killed it in cold blood. Disgusting.

Can we raise money for the 24 cubs Cecil left behind? I hate to see his pride and joy be killed by another lion. I understand it is the way the animal kingdom works, but I think this would be the right thing to do in memory of Cecil. Make the dentist pay for the misplacement of the cubs.

It's nature. The only way these cubs will be saved is if humans intervene, then they'll live in a zoo or wildlife rescue somewhere. Either way, they won't be able to live their life as they should. Unfortunately most of the male cubs would die whether or not Cecil was still alive. They would end up competing with each other to become next in line. That's just the way they are.

If he has returned to the USA, then America should extradite him or prosecute him....Anne take away his dental license also. This is not the first animal he has killed. What kind of person gets pleasure from killing another living bring.?

No one is going to hunt this guy down; and putting him in jail won't solve much. However a fine of 10x the money he paid to kill a lion is reasonable. So $550,000 for the Cecil. And $550,000 for each cub that dies as a result of his actions. If all cubs are killed, that's 25 x $550,000 = $13,750,000.00 to be used in the prevention of poaching and the ending of making big game species a hunted animal. And no bankruptcy option, so if he doesn't have, he loses all he has and works the rest off. Either as a dentist or risking his neck to stop other poachers like himself. Kind of works to solve the problem and, unlike jail, acts a deterrent to rich, bored jackasses who think this kind of c**p is fun. Just saying.

trophy hunting sickens me, and should be illegal. He and the guides should be punished to the full extent of the law with Heavy fines and imprisonment and loss of any licenses forever... and the Lion's head and skin returned to Zimbabwe to be honored in a memorial to Cecil. These so-called 'hunters' need to be stopped.

He wounded Cecil first to make the hunt happen- Otherwise Cecil was too tame and would just go back to his pride. Wounded Cecil would run away from his pride to protect them and lure the killers away. This freak Palmer knew exactly what he was doing. Palmer said he first hunted when he was 5 years old. That was when he lost his soul and became a psychopath. Which he is.

"...an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally..." Dr. Palmer, you "love" hunting and killing defenseless animals? Just for a trophy? That is so sad. Next time, try using a camera instead. You still have the thrill of the hunt, and your "target" won't have to suffer and die a miserable death to satisfy this despicable hobby that gives you such pleasure.

He wounded Cecil first to make him "wild" enough to even hunt. He has 43 big game kills. He knew EXACTLY who Cecil was and it was that specific lion he wanted as a trophy. He has been fined for illegal poaching before. he is a loser. He is a detriment to America. Send him back for his punishment.

Im glad to see his dental practice close. While I don't wish harm to anyone, this man and people like him need to be stripped of everything they own and they should not have the capacity to pay to 'legally kill' anything. whatever the f..k that is! Any animal that is endangered or doesn't end up on a plate should be protected.

It seems unlikely that a veteran hunter could possibly mistake an activity in which an animal within proximity of a wildlife preserve is lured, beheaded, skinned and discarded as a "legal hunt."

Hunting was part of a life style of the Native americans or tribal folks. It was to feed others and yourself, to use as much as possible of the animal.... To respect what the animal has given you with its life. To kill something for sport and use nothing of it is just pure disrespect of a life you've just ended. All this to have a disgusting picture in your memoires of hunting.

S0 he will be personally responsible for the death of 25 lions - 24 which will be in the wildlife park (Cecil's cubs). What is so" sportsman" like about that? Especially when the world has already lost 90% of all lions? He already got off with probation once - jail time might be the only punishment that will stop this killer!

He has a record: "According to U.S. court records, Palmer pleaded guilty in 2008 to making false statements to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about a black bear he fatally shot in western Wisconsin. Palmer had a permit to hunt but shot the animal outside the authorized zone in 2006, then tried to pass it off as being killed elsewhere, according to court documents. He was given one year probation and fined nearly $3,000." http://www.aol.com/article/2015/07/29/man-accused-in-lion-death-says-he-thought-hunt-was-legal/21215351/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cbon1-c%7Cdl6%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D-261050995

The only time i think hunting is good is when it is a part of your life. Just like tribe people do and in the past native americans. When you need to hunt to feed others and yourself, to use as much of the animal as possible as to say you respect what the animal offers you for its life. Not hunting a animal for sports where you just kill an animal who has as much right to be on this planet as we do. If they want to do it for sports we should let those people hunt with what nature gives them.... Bare hands or maybe a stone knife. Let's see how long they last against a lion. Sports will be over quick trust me :P Pardon my bad English

Records have it that in Wisconsin he killed a black bear--but it wasn't in a legal hunting area so he dragged it forty miles(!!) to put it in a legal area and elude arrest...he was caught, and paid hefty fines...he belongs in a cage.

Look, ok, the first voice of reason: Is hunting down a lion wrong: yes. But is it therefore any better for this to become a media circus? The article isn't even about the lion anymore, it's about the dentist being procecuted worst than most seriall killers and a lot of 'Celeberties' (most of which have never seen a lion or even know the difference between a lion and a tiger) Jumping the atention train. Maybe they should be jumping on the climate change train or stay on the: 'Children are still dying in Afrika' train... in conclusion: yes killing a lion is wrong, it shouldn't have happened, now stop looking for attention and to blame the 'evil' dentist and go put you tweets and work into issues we can still, and should still, do something about. Now, for the americans amongst you: let me clarufy: this is an opinion, because it differs from yours does not mean I'm 'evil' or 'wanted the lion dead'

Disturbing to realize over and over how little we have evolved as a species that killing and blood sports and war are actively pursued to this day. If you pay someone to help you kill a person, you are both charged with the crime. If you pay someone to help kill an animal you should be charged just the same.

The killing of Cecil, the black maned lion of Zimbabwe, as celebrity, obviously saddened me. But ithis shouldn't only be about Cecil. Hundreds of other (big) game animals are being killed in the same fashion. Some well to do "hunter" goes to Africa, near a reserve, where these animals are not as weary, used to harmlessly cross humans in parcs. Hunt of the chosen animal (there is a list to pick from) is arranged for big money in a specific are on a specific date (makes you wonder about the agenda of the animal, doesn't it???!!!) with the assistance of a professional hunter and some locals so no harm will come to the paying guest. "Sports" hunting must be forbidden. Unfortunately BIG money and many corrupt sticky fingers are involved. Against personal gain, particularly in developing countries, animal protection doesn't stand a chance.

This was not "hunting". Hunting is when you go out alone, and find your prey, and then kill it, because you need FOOD. Hunting is not paying someone to lure the animal out into the open, blinding it with spotlights and then shooting it with an arrow, which only wounds it, and then following it to "finish" it off.

"My pursuit of an activity that I practice responsibility"??? Illegal hunting, illegal fishing, poaching! What a peach! Totally misunderstood dentist!! This a*****e should be hunted down and wounded and then 40 hrs later killed! I sincerely hope that Zimbabwe extradites him and puts him in jail! Disgusting man!

Walter Palmer is a liar who got caught poaching a bear a few years ago in the U.S. He tried to lie and hide the fact that he was 30 miles outside the legal hunting area but was found guilty. He's no stranger to illegal hunts and has no problem with them until he's caught. Take away this mans practice and financially ruin him. It's harsh but it's illegal to hunt people so he's getting it better that Cecil...

The US government needs to arrest his happy a*s and ship him back there to stand trial and go to jail in a nice nasty prison for a good long time. Gee dude you won't have near the rights and certainly not the nice cushy cell and decent food you'd get in a US jail.

Palmer is a bottom feeding liar! He claims he didn't know it was an illegal hunt... than why the hell did they have to lure the lion out of the protected area? Then they did not report it when the collar was discovered, he ran like a coward back to the US where he thought it would all blow over... he deserves to lose his practice and go to jail, because this is not his first time being caught hunting illegally. I would love to be protesting outside his home right now.

It takes a special kind of sicko to admit that this is an activity he "loves". I can't understand how ANYONE can "love" to watch the life drain out of a living creature. Hunting for food, as a necessity, is one thing (personally, I still couldn't do it, I don't have it in me), but to "love" killing something simply for the sake of killing it--as a TROPHY--while discarding the remains as nothing more than trash, is despicable! And it deeply saddens me! This weak excuse for a human being wounds the poor creature, hunts it down for forty hours, than finishes the job--without giving it a second thought. And the ONLY reason why he's apologizing is because he didn't realize it was a "celebrity"!?! Otherwise... what? He'd be proud of himself for catching and killing a lion? All I know is, shame on him! He deserves every bit of unpleasantness that has been heading his way!

Legal shmegal. You ended the life of a majestic animal so you could have his head on your wall. It's just so very unbelievable and reprehensible. The lion walked, and breathed and took care of a family. Legal or not it's just so wrong so don't even try to defend yourself because you thought you were following the rules.

I am appalled and horrified that he did this but if we are all truly angry enough, then let's do something to make his death not in vain. Support legislation that makes it a criminal act to import exotic and protected animal parts into this country and make it illegal to shoot protected animals here. We are the second largest purchaser of illegal animal parts int he world and we are the number one country for big game hunting. Let's do something about this folks because if we don't there will be another Cecil, as well as countless other animals, killed in the name of sport and to quell our desire for exotic things.

He wounded Cecil first to make the hunt happen- Otherwise Cecil was too tame and would just go back to his pride. Wounded Cecil would run away from his pride to protect them and lure the killers away. This freak Palmer knew exactly what he was doing. Palmer said he first hunted when he was 5 years old. That was when he lost his soul and became a psychopath. Which he is. Palmer was very into this and he has killed many big game animals over 70 as I recall. He had to know who Cecil was, how famous he was, and PALMER specifically WANTED Cecil as a trophy. He had to know. Anything else Palmer says in a LIE ,, in my opinion. He's been doing this for years and years. He knew who Cecil was.

Liberals in America and abroad are horrified at the hunting death of Cecil the Lion in South Africa by American dentist Dr. Walter J. Palmer. Social media has lit up in outrage over someone who would dare kill the beloved lion for sport. In the headlines today, Palmer is being lambasted as a โ€œcoward and a killerโ€ and is receiving multiple death threats. PETA has said on itโ€™s Twitter account that Palmer should โ€œhang himselfโ€ for what he did. Wow, truly a hardcore reaction. But evidently, killing human babies is ok. Since midnight last night, 1,470 abortions were performed in America with 53, 983 performed worldwide. From the time that I started to type just this very sentence, 30 abortions have been completed with the blood still flowing from their mothers wombs. 30 dead babies in the time it took to write that one sentence! Yet, there is no liberal outrage, no calls for abortion doctors to โ€œhang themselvesโ€, no lit candles and stuffed animal memorials set up anywhere by liberals.

There's really just no honorable way to spin this. the African Lion is an endangered species; there is literally no legal way to kill one for pleasure. So basically either he has no idea how endangered species work, or what he meant to say was "I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure an illegal hunt in which I'd escape the legal consequences. " Let's also not forget that the lion was probably accustomed to seeing the worker who lured him on a regular basis, and depending on the roll the worker played, may have trusted him a fair deal and probably didn't expect any danger. Having the animal led directly to you by someone they are accustomed to seeing on a regular basis and would expect no harm from isn't even really a hunt. This is disgusting.

correction: several large groups in charge of this sort of ruling have been trying to get them added to the Endangered Species list, and they have all the qualifications, but they keep getting nixed for some reason. This is even more disturbing, to be honest.

Really?? With their bare hands? How did they do that? And don't say abortion because that is ridiculous. First off get an education. Abortions kill zygotes not babies unless it is to save the life of the mother. All kinds of women have abortions. Not just democrats and personally, it isn't any of your business if someone else has an abortion. If you don't believe in them then don't have one, but don't tell other people what to do. By the way, since you want all these kids born, how many children have you taken in? Fostered? Adopted? I thought not! You want them born but not fed, clothed, educated or loved. You want them born no matter how horribly sickly they may be. Your not footing the bill so shut the hell up! I chose to have my son at 16 when given a choice, but it was my choice and I will fight for that same choice for others. Also we are not talking about that here. We are discussing animals, who are, in most cases better than humans. This is not a political discussion.

It's nature. The only way these cubs will be saved is if humans intervene, then they'll live in a zoo or wildlife rescue somewhere. Either way, they won't be able to live their life as they should. Unfortunately most of the male cubs would die whether or not Cecil was still alive. They would end up competing with each other to become next in line. That's just the way they are.

No one is going to hunt this guy down; and putting him in jail won't solve much. However a fine of 10x the money he paid to kill a lion is reasonable. So $550,000 for the Cecil. And $550,000 for each cub that dies as a result of his actions. If all cubs are killed, that's 25 x $550,000 = $13,750,000.00 to be used in the prevention of poaching and the ending of making big game species a hunted animal. And no bankruptcy option, so if he doesn't have, he loses all he has and works the rest off. Either as a dentist or risking his neck to stop other poachers like himself. Kind of works to solve the problem and, unlike jail, acts a deterrent to rich, bored jackasses who think this kind of c**p is fun. Just saying.

He wounded Cecil first to make the hunt happen- Otherwise Cecil was too tame and would just go back to his pride.

It seems unlikely that a veteran hunter could possibly mistake an activity in which an animal within proximity of a wildlife preserve is lured, beheaded, skinned and discarded as a "legal hunt."

Hunting was part of a life style of the Native americans or tribal folks. It was to feed others and yourself, to use as much as possible of the animal.... To respect what the animal has given you with its life. To kill something for sport and use nothing of it is just pure disrespect of a life you've just ended. All this to have a disgusting picture in your memoires of hunting.

Especially when the world has already lost 90% of all lions? He already got off with probation once - jail time might be the only punishment that will stop this killer!

He has a record: "According to U.S. court records, Palmer pleaded guilty in 2008 to making false statements to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about a black bear he fatally shot in western Wisconsin. Palmer had a permit to hunt but shot the animal outside the authorized zone in 2006, then tried to pass it off as being killed elsewhere, according to court documents. He was given one year probation and fined nearly $3,000." http://www.aol.com/article/2015/07/29/man-accused-in-lion-death-says-he-thought-hunt-was-legal/21215351/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cbon1-c%7Cdl6%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D-261050995

The only time i think hunting is good is when it is a part of your life. Just like tribe people do and in the past native americans. When you need to hunt to feed others and yourself, to use as much of the animal as possible as to say you respect what the animal offers you for its life. Not hunting a animal for sports where you just kill an animal who has as much right to be on this planet as we do. If they want to do it for sports we should let those people hunt with what nature gives them.... Bare hands or maybe a stone knife. Let's see how long they last against a lion. Sports will be over quick trust me :P Pardon my bad English

Look, ok, the first voice of reason: Is hunting down a lion wrong: yes. But is it therefore any better for this to become a media circus? The article isn't even about the lion anymore, it's about the dentist being procecuted worst than most seriall killers and a lot of 'Celeberties' (most of which have never seen a lion or even know the difference between a lion and a tiger) Jumping the atention train. Maybe they should be jumping on the climate change train or stay on the: 'Children are still dying in Afrika' train... in conclusion: yes killing a lion is wrong, it shouldn't have happened, now stop looking for attention and to blame the 'evil' dentist and go put you tweets and work into issues we can still, and should still, do something about. Now, for the americans amongst you: let me clarufy: this is an opinion, because it differs from yours does not mean I'm 'evil' or 'wanted the lion dead'

Disturbing to realize over and over how little we have evolved as a species that killing and blood sports and war are actively pursued to this day. If you pay someone to help you kill a person, you are both charged with the crime. If you pay someone to help kill an animal you should be charged just the same.

Put him back without his bow and arrow in the midst of 10 lions.. Even one will do.. Lets then see his manliness... Foremost, also the park authorities should try to save the cubs. Losing them will be a total calamity.

What a disgusting human. I cannot see why someone would want to do this to a beautiful innocent animal. Senseless, cruel, and totally unforgiveable. I would like to see someone bowhunt him and make him suffer for endless hours. This story makes me so sick, I just cannot fathom it. How dare he hurt such a defenseless animal, there are no more words I can express on this.

Isn't the goal of every hunt illegal or legal ,to kill an animal. Sounds a bit like regretting to get wet after going for a swim. At least take responsibilty for what you've surely known the consequences of and stop sugarcoating it you coward.

The killing of Cecil, the black maned lion of Zimbabwe, as celebrity, obviously saddened me. But ithis shouldn't only be about Cecil. Hundreds of other (big) game animals are being killed in the same fashion. Some well to do "hunter" goes to Africa, near a reserve, where these animals are not as weary, used to harmlessly cross humans in parcs. Hunt of the chosen animal (there is a list to pick from) is arranged for big money in a specific are on a specific date (makes you wonder about the agenda of the animal, doesn't it???!!!) with the assistance of a professional hunter and some locals so no harm will come to the paying guest. "Sports" hunting must be forbidden. Unfortunately BIG money and many corrupt sticky fingers are involved. Against personal gain, particularly in developing countries, animal protection doesn't stand a chance.

This was not "hunting". Hunting is when you go out alone, and find your prey, and then kill it, because you need FOOD. Hunting is not paying someone to lure the animal out into the open, blinding it with spotlights and then shooting it with an arrow, which only wounds it, and then following it to "finish" it off.

He's no stranger to illegal hunts and has no problem with them until he's caught. Take away this mans practice and financially ruin him. It's harsh but it's illegal to hunt people so he's getting it better that Cecil...

It takes a special kind of sicko to admit that this is an activity he "loves". I can't understand how ANYONE can "love" to watch the life drain out of a living creature. Hunting for food, as a necessity, is one thing (personally, I still couldn't do it, I don't have it in me), but to "love" killing something simply for the sake of killing it--as a TROPHY--while discarding the remains as nothing more than trash, is despicable! And it deeply saddens me! This weak excuse for a human being wounds the poor creature, hunts it down for forty hours, than finishes the job--without giving it a second thought. And the ONLY reason why he's apologizing is because he didn't realize it was a "celebrity"!?! Otherwise... what? He'd be proud of himself for catching and killing a lion? All I know is, shame on him! He deserves every bit of unpleasantness that has been heading his way!

I am appalled and horrified that he did this but if we are all truly angry enough, then let's do something to make his death not in vain. Support legislation that makes it a criminal act to import exotic and protected animal parts into this country and make it illegal to shoot protected animals here. We are the second largest purchaser of illegal animal parts int he world and we are the number one country for big game hunting. Let's do something about this folks because if we don't there will be another Cecil, as well as countless other animals, killed in the name of sport and to quell our desire for exotic things.

He's not sorry for killing the lion; he kills as a HOBBY! He's sorry that he's now infamous, period. Let's just hope he's not the most hated man of the HOUR! May he NEVER be able to re-open his practice. Every year on July 1, we should remind the world what this prick did. Not just for Cecil; but, for the other unsuspecting species that he lured out unfairly and slaughtered.

I hope the decent citizens, of which there are many, of the USA completely boycott his dental practice and force him to close so he can't ever again afford to murder any more innocent animals.

He wounded Cecil first to make the hunt happen- Otherwise Cecil was too tame and would just go back to his pride. Wounded Cecil would run away from his pride to protect them and lure the killers away. This freak Palmer knew exactly what he was doing. Palmer said he first hunted when he was 5 years old. That was when he lost his soul and became a psychopath. Which he is. Palmer was very into this and he has killed many big game animals over 70 as I recall. He had to know who Cecil was, how famous he was, and PALMER specifically WANTED Cecil as a trophy. He had to know. Anything else Palmer says in a LIE ,, in my opinion. He's been doing this for years and years. He knew who Cecil was.

Liberals in America and abroad are horrified at the hunting death of Cecil the Lion in South Africa by American dentist Dr. Walter J. Palmer. Social media has lit up in outrage over someone who would dare kill the beloved lion for sport. In the headlines today, Palmer is being lambasted as a โ€œcoward and a killerโ€ and is receiving multiple death threats. PETA has said on itโ€™s Twitter account that Palmer should โ€œhang himselfโ€ for what he did. Wow, truly a hardcore reaction. But evidently, killing human babies is ok. Since midnight last night, 1,470 abortions were performed in America with 53, 983 performed worldwide. From the time that I started to type just this very sentence, 30 abortions have been completed with the blood still flowing from their mothers wombs. 30 dead babies in the time it took to write that one sentence! Yet, there is no liberal outrage, no calls for abortion doctors to โ€œhang themselvesโ€, no lit candles and stuffed animal memorials set up anywhere by liberals.

You dont deserve a good life after killing a protected creature. If you had any brains you wouldnt kill something people would uproar about and cause you so much problems.

There's really just no honorable way to spin this. the African Lion is an endangered species; there is literally no legal way to kill one for pleasure. So basically either he has no idea how endangered species work, or what he meant to say was "I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure an illegal hunt in which I'd escape the legal consequences. " Let's also not forget that the lion was probably accustomed to seeing the worker who lured him on a regular basis, and depending on the roll the worker played, may have trusted him a fair deal and probably didn't expect any danger. Having the animal led directly to you by someone they are accustomed to seeing on a regular basis and would expect no harm from isn't even really a hunt. This is disgusting.

It`s a shame to kill for pleasure! Hunters are coward killers! Hunters should be punished as criminals!

I'd be very surprised if this was his first "illegal" kill. Authorities should be looking at all his trophies.

Bad enough to take the life of any lion. Not knowing it was Cecil is no excuse.

Hunt your kid in his freaking gut ! Do it legally, under surveillance and on legal grounds, it would be extremely pleasurable, I promise you !

I don't think he is the only one to blame. If the park guides accepted the money anf loored him in to hunt down the lion they should be punished as well. And since they are zimbabuans the authorities should find this very easy to do...

At least two people were already arrested that were involved. They were locals but the actual killer was the dentist that shot the lion with his crossbow, which didn't kill him. Only forty hours later did they track him down and shoot him.

All animals not just lions have their own unique beauty and personality. It's just as bad to kill an animal whether it's a lion, elephant, dog or pig. It's better for us both physically and spiritually to live on a plant based vegan diet and avoid inflicting suffering and death onto the other living beings who share this planet with us

Yeah, f**k humans. Especially your kind of humans, you little f*****g trash. A person with your view is obviously wasted life. Please end it. I'm not a hippie, but even I can see how utterly flawed and idiotic your standpoint is.

The Bible says an eye for an eye and a life for a life. Not only did this idiot kill the lion but he paid money for this to happen and lured him out of his safe place. For what? Was he hungry and McDonalds was closed? Did he need clothes to keep warm and the men's clothing stores didn't have his size? NO!!! He should either be locked up for life with no chance of parole or have his brain removed (if he has one)

Really?? With their bare hands? How did they do that? And don't say abortion because that is ridiculous. First off get an education. Abortions kill zygotes not babies unless it is to save the life of the mother. All kinds of women have abortions. Not just democrats and personally, it isn't any of your business if someone else has an abortion. If you don't believe in them then don't have one, but don't tell other people what to do. By the way, since you want all these kids born, how many children have you taken in? Fostered? Adopted? I thought not! You want them born but not fed, clothed, educated or loved. You want them born no matter how horribly sickly they may be. Your not footing the bill so shut the hell up! I chose to have my son at 16 when given a choice, but it was my choice and I will fight for that same choice for others. Also we are not talking about that here. We are discussing animals, who are, in most cases better than humans. This is not a political discussion.

Interesting that the whole internet is butthurt about a giant douchebag killing a lion, which is terrible indeed. But noone gives a damn about U.S Marines killing innocent civilians on a daily basis. I think Cecil is just cuter thank little children from iraq. #doublestandards

So many are too fast to pass judgement. It was the decision of the local officials and or the safari owners to lure the lion out of the refuge. No one is blaming them at all. Where is the outrage toward those greedy people? Have at it you idiots. I hope if I am ever charged with something you aren't in the jury.

Please tell me you're kidding, you little piece of trash? Can you NOT read, or what's your problem? There was no f*****g "local officials" or "safari owners" involved you moron. There was a LONE guide who accepted a huge amount of cash and a LONE farmer who accepted money for allowing them to hunt on his lands, where they lured Cecil to. "So many are too fast to pass judgement"? You, but maybe you should start judging the right people first you little icky s**t.

I dont support hunting... Unless they made a rule to hunt for sports with your bare hands to even up the score. Bet lion hunting or any other dangerous animal would be over pretty fast .

Every animal has it's own beauty and personality whether it's a lion, elephant, dog, pig or cow. I think it's horrible to breed and raise animals just to kill them. There are kinder and more compassionate ways to live

Jesus people, calm down, it's just a lion. You will never ever see that lion in your entire life, and you probably didn't even care about the subject until you heard about this. And now you've just ruined a man's life. Well done.

Try to replace the word "lion" with the word "man". It sounds like the words of a psychopath. We are animals too, and no animal deserves to be killed with no reason.
