Apparantly this fella had done the same kind of stuff in the past and if it's poached that sucks but this article writes about the lion like it was a freaking person. "He leaves behind a pride of cubs" what kind of horseshit reporting is that.

Poor old Leo.

I read a more in depth article on this earlier. Although I have no desire to kill a lion as I imagine they taste pretty gamey, the hunter did nothing wrong as far as anyone can prove. If anyone did wrong it was the PH and property owner. The poor dentist is now going to get torn up by the media because of this and a previous conviction in Wisconsin for a hunting violation that yielded a $1000 fine from what I remember. The dude won't be getting a whole lot of sympathy either from most people because not many of us have the kind of money that would allow us to put ourselves in his shoes.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Cecil the Lion was a well known philanthropist, gentleman, and patron of the arts. He is survived by a pride of cubs, and a multitude of lonely lionesses. Donations in his honor are to be given to the 'Tar and Feathing of Walter Palmer' campaign.

Sounds like it came right out of the article. He was more interesting than the Dos equis guy.

I don't normally shoot lions but when I do.....those suckers are famous.

There is now an article on CNN. Evidently the PH set the whole thing up, hunter claims he didn't know. Damn cat had a GPS collar, but maybe it wasn't visible with the mane.

The PH had no lion "on quota" in that consession, thats like closed season. No lions can be legally killed.

The "collar" can be hard to see in hunting conditions, but I cannot believe that PH Bronkhurst didn't know what he was doing.

THAT lion should of never been shot by a hunter because of the outraage by the public that would, and did, come about.

The hunter has more to worry about than a bad press. He violated Zimbabwe law and therefore USFWS Lacy Act.

Also the consession was one of the seized properties Americans are not allowed to hunt on legally, per USFWS, because the land was taken illegally and current "owners" do not have legal cause to allow anyone to hunt that land.

BIG FUBAR all around......


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Troy, I can't disagree and don't mean to sound like a lawless/heartless bastard but that article was specifically written to make it sound like they killed Disney's Lion King.

What else would you expect from the PETA loving media? The idiot PH (and hunter if he knew what he was doing) are the ones that gave them the ammo. They just did what they were expected to do. They played right into the anti's hand.

I agree with you, it was written to blast hunting in general and lion hunting in particular. Lion hunting has been under attack from the antis for a while, with our own anti hunting USFWS chiming in and trying to "list" lions as threatened to stop imports of lion trophies, and therefore lion hunting by Americans.

Dumbsumbitch hunter and PH gave the antis a boatload of ammo.....

The idiot hunter wounded the lion with a crossbow and killed it FOUR days later...not even a clean kill.

Antis are railing on the lion being "beheaded" and skinned. WTH else does one do with a trophy lion???

I wouldn't mind killing the Lion King. His cartoon butt would look good on my wall right next to Dumbo, Bullwinkle, Bambi, and Donald Duck. wink

Have you not seen how many folks on here get pissed off/question where and how a friggin deer was killed? If there was/is a 170 class or larger deer without a collar on killed, every other person on this board seems to turn into a dang game warden. If it was a known deer from a high fence that got out and had a faded collar on, shot by a hunter that paid big time money, this place would treat that deer like it was a "freaking person".

I've been on this site a minute or two and I've seen the posts you are referring to. There is a difference between Hunter Jealousy and the public outcry that this has generated. I've never heard anyone on this site bitching because a big deer was "Beheaded". They tried to make it read like a terrorist killed the damn thing. Troy is right, they really screwed up and the Dentist has had to shut down his practice because of it.

Dentists real prob is going to be USFWS prosecuting him under Lacy Act for illegally killing the lion and for hunting on illegal lands.

It is probably best that he not return to Zimbabwe anytime soon also. Ever see the 60's movie "The Naked Prey" with Cornel Wilde?
