condolences to the confused, and to those species who will be killed by them.

Couchmaster blaster, you are talking about masturbating allot, so I think you need to climb more. I did see that photo posted of you and Ujahn topping out on Beacon yesterday so I ripped it and am posting it here for emphasis to your statement. I know you're a strong climber, but I didn't realize you were a top notch hand jockey as well! Sick. I thought you were all sweaty from just the heat. Lets go do Dod's Jam but you have to keep your hands out of your pockets.
Poor fricking lion.

I see your 20,000 and raise.
Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects of the atomic bombings killed 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000–80,000 in Nagasaki; roughly half of the deaths in each city occurred on the first day.
Did the pilots of the Enola Gay really swoop down and gather some dismembered "post fetal" limbs from the children who were slaughtered?
Did they smile and pose with the skins and bones? You're on candid camera.
Thank god the village people can now marry openly.
Oh, Nagasaki and Hiroshima were military bases. How in the fkk did they lure all those civilians onto the base? Saki and prostitutes?

How about wildlife conservation in Africa.
If you guys are serious about conservation and not just anti hunting lets discuss...
Just a few facts from time I have spent living in Africa (please help me on the updates these are 11 year-old observations)
-African Hunting dogs (Lycaon pictus) were still considered predators by the S. A. Government (like coyotes in USA)
 I had friends killed in downtown Kasane Botswana by wild elephants storming the main street (2005).
-Overpopulations of elephants in Chobe Nat. Park and surrounding areas.
Cheetahs dig under fences, leopards go over, Rhinos go through. Guy wires for electric lines are deadly for escaped giraffes.
Why aren't you fired up about the constant poaching that is ongoing in Africa!

"Why aren't you fired up about the constant poaching that is ongoing in Africa!"
I am. I understand that people who have nothing or very little see poaching as a way to support themselves and their families.
Even more reprehensible is the wealthy piece of sh#t that flies over to kill something to hang on his wall. Does not matter to me if it is legal or not.
Why keep bringing up irrelevant sh#t and pretending that is suppose to minimize the outrage over that ignorant f*#k killing the lion for $50,000?

it always makes me shake my head and laugh when I see people make these kinds of statements Completely pathetic
Meanwhile donations to planned parenthood increase in response to the right wing attacks on the right to choose.
You don't need us. Just close your eyes and declare victory in your head. Lots of fun to be had there laughing at all those misguided souls. Enjoy! Almost as much fun as shooting lions, depending on how your brain works. :-)

Atchafalaya,
Why do you deem animal conservation irrelevant?
You obviously have no grasp on African/ most third world conservation tactics. Try and take a deep breath.

scrubbing bubbles,
I have rescued a fellow from an african lion. I have also survived a separate attack. Neither was fun and don't care to share the details.

There's been some good honest debate in this thread, and then I see some of the most bitter taco-spew about things that have nothing to do with the mighty hunter.
Let's please keep it civil and continue the debate shall we?

Curious why the Gir Forest lions are not being discussed.
Asia (India) has the only lion population left of Asian lions.
Sorry, my biological tendencies got to me while reading this.
They are in worse shape than the Africans!
(if this is about lion conservation?)

Crankster, nice joke,
Do you realize that rhinos from private land are being used to repopulate the Southern African parks.
If it wasn't for the ranchers, rhinos would be gone. I am glad these farmers had the foresight to grow rhinos on their farms.

Alex, don't sweat the Ron avatar.
When you stuff dead animals for a living, there is a certain dis-connect that 99.99% of us don't even want to wrap our brains around.

I posted this in anger and just to vent my rage via the Interwebs, and did not expect much of a reaction. I just wanted to call the mighty hunter a bad name, which you can see, I even edited later to tone it down.
Seriously, I did not expect to learn so much about the economics of hunting vs photo safari, or at least see the diversity of different research findings.
I also felt ashamed to be reminded of how this one lion is big news when there are in fact much more important concerns in the world.
I'm even rethinking eating meat now that I've been reminded of the cruelty of modern meat production.
Still my opinion about this act remains unchanged. I am curious to learn if he will be successful in shirking responsibility for this act and let his professional 'guides' take the punishment. He has a history of being dishonest about his hunting admitting guilt in moving a bear he killed from an illegal area into an area the state of Wisconsin had open for bear hunting. Such a history makes me wonder about the honesty and sincerity of his claim that he put full trust in the professional guides and essentially had no reason to question their integrity.
