    Did the lion have a name? That's why the mindless libs are seething, because his name was Cecil.

    I always wanted to see the lion in the wizard of oz get his * kicked.

    Good shooting mayor, By him shooting that Lion and Hippo he has done more for the economy, people and wildlife preservation than anyone who is protesting hunting.

    Did you see those two Cape Buffs?....The Stimpson family spends more on conservation than Peta does...

    Yep. This recent incident -- due to the potential backlash any hunter might experience if he went to Africa for a hunt -- is going to deliver a devastating blow to many African communities and hinder wildlife preservation efforts there.

    "Animal protection" activists should be careful what they wish for.

    I always thought it was a waste to kill such a fine creature, and unmanly at best. if they want something to brag about with a stuffed chopped off head on the wall, anybody can kill lions and tigers and bears (oh my!) with a friggin' .460 Nitro set up for dangerous game, and an assistant or two standing by just in case. the beast didn't have a chance. is that manly? courageous? no! laughable. a pencil necked geek accountant with skinny white legs and blue tube socks can do that.

    Japanese used to hunt bears with spears. Africans used to hunt elephants by mobbing them 20 at a time with spears, and not all of them survived. I was going to say that nobody was foolish enough to hunt lions and tigers, but even then there was a way that Africans knew how to hunt lions with spears.

    that was courageous. using a rifle is not courageous. if the ding dong wants to call that a trophy, he did little more than rob the vending machine.

    and it's still a waste, and a tragedy, if you ask me.

    I will eagerly await the video of you climbing aboard an elk and slitting its throat with a pocket knife.

    Now that would be some manly chit right there. Sho nuff.

    ...the waste ,is to have a valuable asset and not use it....Big Game hunting in Africa has been a staple of food for the natives since the first European settlers arrived!....Would I go and kill a hell no.. because I have no desire to do so, but many other folks like it....I don't play golf,but others do...If I eat beef, a cow has to die..I would only kill big game for survival,but the Mayor has his own rules of the road..Its fine to disagree with African Big Cat hunting , but to each his own..[:o)]

    And after they were introduced to firearms they used firearms to take these critters. Be like us fighting in the middle east with flintlocks to prove our toughness.

    I'm trying to figure out what courage has to with it.
    Does it take courage to catch a big fish? Or shoot a Grouse or Mourning Dove? How about a bull Elk?

    For one he shot the lion with a bow. I shot my Lioness with a 30-06.
    Still has nothing to do with courage. Nerves,yes.
    The Natives took every scrap of mine to eat. I kept the hide for a rug and the skull. Without hunting in Africa, there would be no game left.

    111 humans killed in saint Louis this year, no big deal I guess




    maybe we should kill more lions so it becomes the norm, and no one will care
