Take the time and read this. Pass along to all your Cecil
the lion cryers.

By Glenn Kendall

Family, friends, colleagues and fellow hunters along the
endless Safari trail, these thoughts of mine come from the
countless emails, phone calls and texts from many of you
looking for my opinion on the heels of the allegedly
illegally hunted Lion in Zimbabwe named Cecil.

[...]
One of the stories that aired on a major network's morning
show stated that Cecil was killed and illegally poached by a
hunter and resulted in his offspring being savagely killed
by another male or males. It sounded terrible, scary, and Oh
my gosh, what horrible crime, right? Wrong - each time a
male lion who governs the pride is either killed, dies or
run off by a Lion or Lions, the new male or males do come
and kill the offspring. It's the way nature works with Lions
in parks, the wild and everywhere in Africa. Immediately
after this, the females go into heat and the new male or
males start a new family tree. It's the life and death cycle
of the African lion. Our beloved daily news reporting of
course forgot this important part. Did they know and not
report it or are they just trying to shed a bad light on
hunters? Hmmm, could anchors that get paid millions of
dollars a year be this short sighted? Maybe we should ask
Brian Williams?



Good article.

Wow, there's an unimpeachable scientific source, the "ClashDaily".
Kind of like when the tobacco industry was writing articles about
how smoking was not really causing cancer. In this case, we're supposed
to believe that shooting more lions will save them. Good grief.

Here's what a fine fellow who paid $350K to shoot a rare black rhino,
another endangered species had to say:

In response to his critics, Knowlton told CNN: "I respect the black rhino. A lot of people say, 'Do you feel like a bigger man?' or 'Is this a thrill for you?' The thrill is knowing that we are preserving wildlife resources, not for the next generation, but for eons."

Sure, I believe that.
