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.

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.

I read he shot the lion with a bow and arrow but at night with a spotlight. No permit. I feel no sympathy for the dentist.

I'm sitting in the hotel lobby this morning eating breakfast and they have the tv on ABC morning show. Unbelievable ! These bunch of liberal jackasses are reporting on this like a human was murdered. You think they showed this much outrage over plan parenthood doctors bragging about how many abortions they done that day and what the going rate is for a babies arm and liver! Hell no!

Thanks, I didn't recall reading it was a felony but that would fit with the $1000 fine.

Learn a lesson from his mistake, anytime you pay for somebody to take you hunting in a place you're unfamiliar with you better do your homework. The "ignorance" card only gets you so far. And ask questions when something doesn't seem legit. When they tied a dead animal drag to the back of the truck to lure him to a different place to kill him I'd have started asking questions. And he very well could have asked those questions, I'm not saying he didn't. I could have just been the day all his bad luck chips got cashed in at once.

Trying to destroy the gps collar is another dead giveaway that you're screwed.

It'd be nice if there was this much public outrage over ISIS beheading people and Planned Parenthood sorting through aborted fetuses to harvest organs to sell.

I wonder how many veterans or active duty servicemen have died during the time this has dominated the news.


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I'm going to assume that you have never been to Africa hunting. You are completely at the mercy of the Outfitter and PH to ensure that all is legal. And every country is different. Landlines are usually NOT marked, no way to know if you are one legal land or in a park, or on someone else.

Dragging dead game to lay a scent trail is normal practice when hunting lion or leopard.

an personally ,given his history, I doubt that he asked any questions and knew full well the hunt was illegal. He is in a world of deep chitt with the USFW boys, prolly facing multiple Lacy Act violations here in US.

I really doubt he will actually face any charges IN Zimbabwe. I sure as hell wouldn't go back on my own to face charges there.

anybody with ANY common sense would not of shot THAT lion, even if it was legal, on quota, legal land, et all. Dumbass greedy move and it will cost him, the PH, the landowner, and all of us that hunt anywhere. The antis will use this to further their anti-hunting agenda, esp lion hunting.

I don't believe a single word of anything written in the "news" about hunting. It is ALWAYS slanted against hunters and hunting.

No, I've never been hunting in Africa. And the fact that you're completely at the mercy of the outfitter and PH is why I'd be as educated as possible before I go (however much or little that might be) and ask more questions when I got there. The piece I read mentioned that they used the drag to lure him off of the park so that they could kill him. He may or may not have known where they were luring him from. But like you, it all sounds sketchy at best.

Have you ever hunted in Africa? If so, how did/would you make sure that you didn't get involved in a similar situation? He probably thought that by dropping $50k he was with a reputable outfitter.

The fact that that first offense with the bear was a felony is the ridiculous part. Laws have gotten so screwed up in this country.

I've never understood the desire to shoot a lion. I'm not at all opposed to somebody else doing it. To each his own.

When I went on a jeep Safari in Kenya, you could pretty much drive right up to them.

Flyway, yes I have hunted Africa, in fact in Zimbabwe. I went with an outfit that came highly recommended by others that had been with them. You do your homework by checking past performance, both in ethics and in game taken.

Bronkhurst, the PH, has been involved on the edge of stuff in the past. And the land they hunted is listed as seized land, something you can check on.

They will walk right up to you in Liberty Park too. My understanding is that if you know the right people you can hunt there. It's even been rumored you can pay to hunt the surrounding areas.

I used to hunt there, with a written permit from the owner, Drummond. I have leased land adjoining Liberty Park for hunting. I have had a written permit from other adjoining landowners, US Steel, and have hunted small tracts within Liberty Park the individuals own. no rumor there.....

As I clearly stated, I have no problem with it, just zero allure for me to shoot a lion.

Look folks, this is the world we live in whether you like it disagree with it or not and guess what, we hunters are WAY outnumbered by the general public. Guess who LETS us hunt, hmmmm?
So far we have been barely able to keep the laws in our favor to hunt. BUT, the public WILL NOT STAND for baiting innocent animals in to be slaughtered! ESPECIALLY an enclosed HIGH FENCE area (not the case here, but). IF the national media ever makes a concerted effort to sway the general population against hunting, WE ARE SCREWED!!!!! So far, the public has accepted sportsmanship and fair chase hunting, barely. Just remember that the next time you make the argument for baiting or hunting in an enclosed high fence operation. Don't hate on me, I'm just the messenger.

It seems that some of you think that the $50k he spent is an outlandish number to spend on a lion hunt.

Here's the normal break down:
Most lion hunts in Zim are a 21 day hunt @ $1250 +/- per day. (This is imposed by the government, not the outfitter. Out of the $26,250 +/- the PH might get $5000 or so. Then the trophy fee on the male lion he kills (depending on the concession) will range from $15,000 - $25,000. The concession (tribal land) gets 75% of this fee. In total, the PH will make $7500 +/- out of the total of $50,000 the hunter spent.

The PH will also make a % of each of the other trophies and bait animals that the hunter kills. On a 21-day lion hunt, you'd need 3-5 500-800lb bait animals. Those would cost anywhere from $800-1500 each.

Granted $50,000 is a pile of cash to spend for some of us, to others it's not much at all. It's no different than a guy on here hunting public land compared to the guy that spends $3000 on club dues in a year. The public land guy just can't believe anyone would/could spend $3000+ per year for club dues when you can hunt public ground for free.

An online petition to President Obama on Change.org demanded "justice for Cecil" and for the creation of new laws protecting big game from being hunted outside of the U.S. and brought back. Over 7,200 supporters signed the petition as of Wednesday morning.

Lion loose in Milwaukee The good news is we may be able to bag a lion without having to leave the states lol One thing i haven't really heard mentioned is how much the local officials made off of this hunt. Its very very hard for me to believe that the hunting guides didn't grease a couple palms to be able to do what they did, even if things didn't ultimately work out in their favor.

People are stupid.

A woman can feel a baby kick or move, decide to have it sliced up and suctioned out of her body, and that's fine with some people. A guy shoots a lion and the entire friggin' world thinks he should be hung, hunting should cease and animals are more important than humans.

If I were him I'd be off to a country that doesn't extradite to the U.S. He may likely spend some time in the pokey if the Feds throw the book at him. Not sure if they would send him to Zimbabwe to face charges or not. Maybe one of you guys in the know can answer that...

Has he officially been charged with anything yet?

He would probably be better of in prison than on the streets right now.

People are stupid.

A woman can feel a baby kick or move, decide to have it sliced up and suctioned out of her body, and that's fine with some people. A guy shoots a lion and the entire friggin' world thinks he should be hung, hunting should cease and animals are more important than humans.

You got that right!

Add jimmy Kimmel to the list of Hollywood freaks I'll never watch again. Not that I can recall watching him more than 3 or 4 times, but I just saw a clip on the news with him busting into tears talking about the lion. Also, the GPS collar looked pretty covered up by the mane. I would have never seen it if I wasn't looking for it. It looks like just a part in the hair of the mane.

I ever get to Africa just one trophy on my must list. That's a kudu. I love those things. But you can bet your sweet ass I'll ask the guide if it has a name before I pull the trigger.

I wish all these people were around to shed a tear when Mugabe was kicking farmers off their land and dividing everything up among his cronies.
There wasn't a great wailing and gnashing of teeth over Mugabe pretty much bringing on the slaughter of that countries wild game.
Screw those shitheads. They don't weep for the poverty and suffering brought on because of racism.

The celebrities have now taken up the cause and are out in full force, not that I would piss on any of them if they were on fire. I just find it unbelievable that they have such an open forum and the spin that the news outlets use to vilify the guy that killed the lion.

I have no interest in an African hunt, but I would imagine that if they put an end to them - there would be a SERIOUS economic impact on many, many of the areas.

Hunting is the only thing that saves some of those animals. If they aren't hunted or don't have an economic value they aren't worth protecting in a lot of Africa.

I've read several articles where native Zimbabweans, black and white said they had never heard of "Cecil" and wondered what all the stink was about. It was just another dead lion, happens every day in Zim. They also wanted to know where all the uproar was when one of those lions ate somebody over there??? Happens a lot and nobody gets their panties in a wad over it...there or here.

The dentist screwed up obviously, but here is the deeper reality:

The anti God world puts more value in an animal then a person. The world isn't going nuts over abortion or the sale of aborted baby parts - or sodomites marching around like ISIS. Heck, the world isn't even as concerned with ISIS itself! These animal worship crazies even make death threats against the dentist!

It's totally hypocrisy and IDOLATRY!

And another sign of the times.

Now I hear where the Zims have requested extradition. My first question is; do they extradite to us when asked? If, yes, then, we can talk. If they've ever said no to us, then KMA.

The Zim government has not, that I can find, asked for extradition. Some of the nutcase tree huggers there have asked for extradition. Parks and Wildlife issued a statement yesterday saying they found no wrongdoing by the American, just the landowner and the PH, both arrested. The American hunter broke no Zim laws. This screwup ain't no big deal over there, and most of them don't understand why we think it is a big deal.

The PH claims they had a permit, ya gotta remember that Zim is one of the most corrupt governments in Africa where corruption is rampant. It would not be out of the ordinary for someone in Parks and Wildlife to have issued a permit to kill a lion on that property at all.

Zim won't come and get him. It would be the death of Safari hunting in Zim if they did, and hunting is one of the very few industries that bring money into the dirt poor country. Not going to happen.

I ain't believing 90% of what is reported on this fiasco. There have been some info coming out of Zim that appears to be accurate.

But you can bet the bank on Zim not extraditing....they aren't real smart but they are smart enough to not cut their own throat and stop the money. And extraditing any American for a wildlife violation would kill Zims safari business dead as hell.

FOX is reporting this: "Though Palmer's lion kill took place in Zimbabwe, he still could be in trouble in the U.S. if it is found that he violated the Lacey Act, an animal protection law that also applies to Americans who violate the animal rights laws of other nations."


When did, or has it always been this way, the Lacey Act become a "protection law" under which other nations could prosecute or get at an American? Not fully understanding this twist.

This is the Lacey Act synopsis:

Under the Lacey Act, it is unlawful to import, export, sell, acquire, or purchase fish, wildlife or plants that are taken, possessed, transported, or sold: 1) in violation of U.S. or Indian law, or 2) in interstate or foreign commerce involving any fish, wildlife, or plants taken possessed or sold in violation of State or foreign law.

The law covers all fish and wildlife and their parts or products, plants protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and those protected by State law. Commercial guiding and outfitting are considered to be a sale under the provisions of the Act.

In 2008, the Lacey Act was amended to include a wider variety of prohibited plants and plant products, including products made from illegally logged woods, for import.

When the Lacey Act was passed in 1900, it became the first federal law protecting wildlife. It enforces civil and criminal penalties for the illegal trade of animals and plants. Today it regulates the import of any species protected by international or domestic law and prevents the spread of invasive, or non-native, species.

The best son ive seen one of the tree nuggets holding is "I am Cecil". If people would get in an uproar like this because of the shadiness in Washington we could get something done. But they are too busy being stupid

I talked with a retired federal game & fish special investigator today about this case. He thinks the U.S. hunter would be in violation of the Lacey Act only if he tried/tries to bring the illegally taken animal (hide, skull, etc) into the U.S.

In my very limited experience with the Fed GWs they will check your duck stamp. They will check you shooting dove. But when it gets to something like this they will come....but they will bring the FBI, ATF, and IRS along with them. I have seen it first hand and it was dealing with illegal Africa hunts. And them SOBs don't even wait until a reasonable hour, they'll come at 4:30 AM!!!

Quote:
For most people in the southern African nation, where unemployment tops 80 percent and the economy continues to feel the after-effects of billion percent hyperinflation a decade ago, the uproar had all the hallmarks of a 'First World Problem'.

"Are you saying that all this noise is about a dead lion? Lions are killed all the time in this country," said Tryphina Kaseke, a used-clothes hawker on the streets of Harare. "What is so special about this one?"

As with many countries in Africa, in Zimbabwe big wild animals such as lions, elephants or hippos are seen either as a potential meal, or a threat to people and property that needs to be controlled or killed.

The world of Palmer, who paid $50,000 to kill 13-year-old Cecil, is a very different one from that inhabited by millions of rural Africans who are more than occasionally victims of wild animal attacks.

According to CrocBITE, a database, from January 2008 to October 2013, there were more than 460 recorded attacks by Nile crocodiles, most of them fatal. That tally is almost certainly a massive underrepresentation.

"Why are the Americans more concerned than us?" said Joseph Mabuwa, a 33-year-old father-of-two cleaning his car in the center of the capital. "We never hear them speak out when villagers are killed by lions and elephants in Hwange."

In additional to natural predators, Zimbabweans have long suffered the financial consequences of the disastrous leftist policies of Robert Mugabe and his party's iron-clad hold on power. Of course you never see any of this reported in the American news media, even one that insists it too believes that "black lives matter."

WASHINGTON - Four Democratic senators announced Friday that they will introduce a bill named for the beloved Zimbabwean lion Cecil, who was killed by an American trophy hunter earlier this month.

The Conserving Ecosystems by Ceasing the Importation of Large (CECIL) Animal Trophies Act would extend current U.S. import and export restrictions on animal trophies to include species that have been proposed for listing as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Current law provides protection only for species whose status on the list has been finalized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and it can take over a year for the agency to complete an assessment.

Democrats Bob Menendez (N.J.), Cory Booker (N.J.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.) and Ben Cardin (Md.) are co-sponsoring the legislation. Click here to read the full text of the bill. http://www.menendez.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/CECIL%20Animal%20Trophies%20Act.pdf

Clem, he can't be prosecuted BY THE ZIMS under the Lacy Act.

but he could be prosecuted by USFWS here in the US under the Lacy Act.

Original intent of Lacy Act was to prosecute those dealing in interstate violations, like killing a deer illegally in Ga and moving it to Al. The act was later used to prosecute hunters that hunted illegally in another state or country and didn't transport anything across a state line, the so called hunt being called a sale. Nice slant by the anti hunter USFWS....

the land hunted on was seized land, and as such illegal for US hunters to hunt on. Also the quota thing may apply if it can be proven there was no lion quota for that property.


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

We will give them more somehow. At least the government's in Africa will get some kind of compensation. It will never make it to the people.

This has gotten way out of hand since it broke and I haven't kept up much except for the stat of it and now.

Every large hunting organization (think Dallas safari club), american guides that book hunters here and take folks over there, and every other group that goes over there or has a stake need to come together and say they are never coming back........not only to zim-bob-shucks-hole, but throw in Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana, and any other sub-Saharan country that need those hunting dollars in the mix. Maybe the pressure from the other countries would force Zimbabwe to say this is not an issue and make sure it goes away........or they all lose the hunting dollars.

Its ridiculous, there wasnt this much rage in media over the freakin seals killed at Benghazi.


Thomas Jefferson. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Life is too short to only hunt and fish on weekends!

Quote:
Robert Mugabe isn't known for his subdued taste, and his million-dollar birthday was just as extravagant as people have come to expect.

The ZANU-PF leader saw in his 92nd year with the slaughter of wild animals, including an elephant, which were cooked and served to his guests.

His party took place at an exclusive lodge, spa and golf course in Victoria Falls, and it was estimated to have cost $1million (648,000). During the celebrations, Mugabe released 91 balloons into the sky with the help of his wife, Grace.


An estimated 20,000 people attended the party at Elephant Hills resort, which was put on to celebrate the birthday of the leader who has been accused of abusing human rights and democracy.

His guests were fed a young elephant, and two buffaloes, two sables and five impalas were also donated to the president by a local landowner. He also threw in a lion and a crocodile to be stuffed as an extra gift for Mugabe. On top of this, 40 cows were offered to the president by two members of his government. A second elephant is going to be shot and given to the Victoria Falls community.

Just one of the cakes Mugabe was presented with at his low-key soiree Held a week after his birthday, the celebrations were described as "totally unethical" by wildlife conservationists, and "obscene" by members of the opposition.

"All the money that has been collected to bankroll this obscene jamboree should be immediately channelled towards rehabilitating the collapsed public hospitals, clinics and rural schools in Matebeleland North province," said MDC spokesman Obert Gutu.



Quote:
Guests were also treated to a 90-minute speech, in which Mugabe decried American sanctions against Zimbabwe.

The USA "can't have it both ways," he said. "If they want to be friends then they must be friends with us in total and we allow them to have some safaris. But they can't say 'allow our people to visit, allow our people to have safaris, to kill our lions and take safari trophies to America'."
