Why is this douchebag who shot a lion such a big news story?

However, social media opprobrium continued, when Mia Farrow posted an ill-advised message to Twitter containing Dr Palmer's business address in Minneapolis.

The controversial 70-year-old screen legend took such umbrage with Dr Palmer's decision to shoot and kill Cecil on a hunt that she took the decision to advertise where he and his staff worked.

'CecilTheLion -Gentle protector of 6 cubs. Loved by many. Killed by Dentist Walter Palmer,' Farrow tweeted Wednesday, followed by Palmer's address.

She makes the lion sound like a vegetarian.
 
Seriously, is there anyone here who had heard of this Cecil before this? Not defending trophy killing, which I find despicable, but this is reaching Travvon levels of idiocy.

If this dentist did something illegal, let him be prosecuted, but these social media lynch mobs are loathsome. WTF does Mia Farrow of all people hope to accomplish by exposing his employees to some possible nut case? And who the hell is she to be making moral judgments?
 
Yeah its pretty funny, actual PEOPLE getting gunned down on a daily basis in all the urban shit holes that democrats have created and liberals will spend more time going after someone who kills a lion than the people and policies that are killing human beings.

I too find it reprehensible, but these dolts who are picketing the guys business really need a little perspective. How many KIDS in Africa will starve to death today? And these people are out picketing a lion.

No, but there's this from 2014:




On Quora:

He was the head of two prides, including six lionesses, 12 cubs and another male called Jericho.

Jericho (left) and Cecil (right)

Now that Cecil is gone, Jericho will probably kill all of Cecil's cubs in order to start his own blood-line.


The death of Cecil means the death of other lions.



The plot thickens...

Can we have a thread around here that does not get diverted to race and/or Obama?


where did i say anything about race or obama? I pointed out what was going on in the constituencies where these protestors are coming from because it is relevant to the conversation, if people are being gunned down and starving in your own backyard would you be spending your time picketing some lion? I pointed out the starving kids in africa because of the poverty levels and because that is where it took place. You are the one who instantly thinks that has something to do with race, not me.

We can still have a dinner conversation about something besides food, and some people's lack of it.
