I concur will all of this. I think the guy was an idiot for illegally killing the lion but holy hell some of the stuff you guys are writing is plain ridiculous. I was brought up a hunter (mostly deer and turkeys). Don't really have the time to do it right anymore and its too easy to go across the street for a Delmonico when I want a slab of meat. I'm sure most here that think hunting is cruel are meat eaters themselves, but have no clue of the "cruelty" that happened to that Angus steer before that steak hit your plate.

sprint..when was the last time you had a lion steak or had lion for thanksgiving dinner?.... wore lion-skin shoes?
Never. I thought I was quite clear mentioning that the guy was an idiot for illegally killing the lion? Furthermore deserves a hefty punishment. But the death penalty? Torture? What the fuck? The way kick is acting he's making Jerry Sandusky look like a saint!
Sandusky can be in the cage for the PPV......it will bring in lots of extra money for the various animal charities.:0074
Idiot, nahhh. Evil scumbag is more like it.
Im ok with legal hunting for sport, and I fish deep water for tuna, wahoo, mahi, marlin (release) a couple of times annually. I dont hunt, and it is unlikely i ever will, but yours is a lame and overused argument since the angus you refer to is bred to feed humans. As you know, humans need to eat animals to survive. We struggle to feed the worlds population as is, so removing animals as a food source would be disastrous. Middle class 1st world hunters, like yourself, 6'5", my father, dozens of my friends, etc, are doing it for sport, not sustenance, regardless if you eat your kill. Same with me and my fishing brethren.
I will add that trophy hunting elephants, giraffes, bears, big cats, etc. is despicable on the surface based in my limited knowledge of this practice.
So, are you saying killing this lion illegally by drawing him away from the preserve and remiving hia collar is the issue, but you are OK with trophy hunting lions within the law?
I don't know about lions, but you do know there are 1000's of places that have fenced in areas where the rich folk pay ridiculous $$$ to walk in a couple acre pen and kill a "trophy" bear, deer, boar, ect? Wouldn't these animals have been raised to kill (kinda like the angus beef you spoke of)? So to answer you question, yeah if some dolt wants to drop 50K to hang a head on his wall and it's done legally, I don't have a bitch in that. I personally would get no satisfaction in it.
Pay attention, raised to eat vs. raised to kill as trophies.

I won't be playing the video.
I buy organic grass fed beef and organic free range chicken, but realize that all beef and chicken can't be raised by those standards. As mentioned, meat is necessary to feed humanity, so conventionally raised beef and chicken are a necessary "evil", for lack of a better term.
Back to the point, trophy hunting big cats, elephants, etc is a despicable practice in my book. Illegally hunting any animal should be a felony.
Fukin' poachers. This asshole didn't learn this first time when he was charged with poaching a bear. Now a Lion???? Seriuosly???? Lions are endangered are they not? I'm not a hunter, but having nothing against people who hunt for food legally. I'm totally against these Africian trophy hunting safari's for Lions, Elephants, Cheetahs etc that people pay to do. I'd like 60 seconds in a steel cage with this idiot. That's something I'd pay to do.
