If you think I have time to read all this stuff you're mistaken. I got a link pointer that said a second lion had been shot and just passed it on.
I went and checked it just now and it says he has not been shot.
Vicious rumors.
Second One Not Shot
http://www.latimes.com/world/africa/la-fg-jericho-cecil-zimbabwe-20150802-story.html
from the Chicago Times web page, this is the source
Zimbabwe's National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority accused Jan Casimir Seski of Murrysville, Pennsylvania, of shooting the lion with a bow and arrow in April near Hwange National Park, without approval, on land where it was not allowed.
Didn't Obama live in Chicago after emigrating from Zimbabwe?
EDIT: What we have here is a large number of reports of the lion Jericho being killed and others saying no. Is it possible that another lion, say for the sake of argument, rLion was slain in April?

You guys keep arguing just for arguing's sake.
Killing animals for trophies is wrong, period.
Hunting for sustenance is cool in my book, but shame on anyone who kills for pride or status.
It's a fact that the money from trophy hunts doesn't go to the locals, it just helps the landowners make money. The trickle down effect doesn't work.
And Ron, give it up, bub. You're an artist, I'm sure, but your skills could be better expressed elsewhere.
I'm sure that you're a good dude, but I'm pretty sure that you're on the wrong side of this argument.
PS- bravo to the rich people who keep any species alive, but for what? To kill them? That's just selfish. If they truly cared, they'd take a great photo and reintroduce them to their native habitat. If they really want to kill something, they'd shoot at the hunters that are endangering the species they claim to care about.

Hey Scrubbles, Ron actually gave me some good sound advice on that very subject. As my long term canine companion drawers closer to the final curtain his expert opinion was appreciated very much.
Thanks for that Ron.

Genesis 9:3 says, "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything."
Genesis 27:3 says, "Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me."

Sadly these christians/trophy hunters really believe this bullsh#t.

Ron...last I heard Italians were considered to be Caucasion which is a bigger word for white of European origin. Check out an atlas, you will see that Italy is still a part of Europe.

Couchmaster, it's only slightly ironic that the website you posted is a free-market website. LOL! At some point the rich dudes outnumber the Rhinos. That's when they still pay to contribute to conservation but switch to Russian Roulette. Does Ron stuff people? Maybe in the future? Will people wear Rhino suits? Maybe the criminals on death row?
Yeah, Ron, I'm part Dego too, or is that Dingo?

Hey Couchmaster. The answer to your question is eloquently spelled out in the link you posted:
the problem isn't that Palmer paid a lot of money to hunt a lion, it's that he didn't pay enough money, he paid it to the wrong people, and he killed the wrong lion.
As far as I can tell, Palmer screwed up by using dodgy guides who in turn used illegal practices to lure an animal that should have been off-limits for many reasons, including that it lived on protected land and that he was part of an Oxford research project. In a public statement, Palmer has said he believed his guides were on the up-and-up and that all his permits were in order, but he should have been more meticulous about checking out the legitimacy of the operation, especially since he already had a felony record for botching a bear hunt.
Long ago, Big Game Hunters from US would have had to travel by ship to Africa. They would have had to endure weeks of hardship and effort while actually locating and then hunting their prey in the company of locals who might speak little or no English and who were of dubious loyalty.
In 2015, all that is needed is ten minutes on the internet. Book a long weekend flight, a professional guiding outfit, hotel rooms from "Bwana_Bookings.com". The local professional guide outfits know exactly where to find the animals and have jeeps and GPS and everything else so that the result is never in doubt.
And this Palmer guy, in his laziness and greed and ineptitude, he even managed to screw this up (see above for gory details)

hmmm - how far BACK DO I HAVE TO GO TO HEAR JUST EXACTLY WHAT WAS SAID
Could Mike take out a lion with just one punch? Nobody knows but he's the only one among the great (white?) trophy hunters mentioned here with enough gumption to go out and try it without a major arsenal.

Ron, that's the most intelligent thing you've ever posted. What a great shoe. When they stopped making them I should've ordered a dozen pair. And after locker resoled them with C4 rubber, it seemed like nothing could stop me. Did my best slab climbing in them. Tired the TC Pros on demo day at Nomad's and they just weren't the same.
Why did they stop making board lasted shoes?
