Re: Man kills Lion, but the Lion wins
Walter Palmer is a despicable human being.
We can only hope some fanatic hunts him down, maims him and allows him to suffer for 40+ hours and then cuts off his head and skins him like the piece of shit he is Hey, he did it to Cecil, how about the same fate? Maybe if we (United States) make it illegal to bring back hunting "trophies" from abroad it will eliminate some of this senseless killing of these poor animals.
I can only hope he gets extradited to Zimbabwe and ends up in prison there - but doubtful (I'm sure they don't have a/c, cable, a gym, a library or any other creature comfort we offer in prison here)
The impact of Cecil's death could be deadly to his cubs:

My apologies, as you are right Fred, and I should have checked. Lions are in the 'red zone' of vulnerable animals as 40% of the population has declined in the last 20 years, but they are not on an official list of endangered species as yet.
The World Wildlife Fund has a list of endangered species here:

Zimbabwe has now tightened its laws on game hunting, read about it here:

Arguments for hunting, on the basis of conservation and boosting the economy in places such as South Africa with alternative arguments can be found here:

I think the situation Palmer is in does not merit the violent reactions expressed by some people, the violence committed against Cecil was bad enough, we don't need more.
