[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 663227, member: 1233"] The dentist says that he hired a hunting guide and depended on them to set up the hunt and he had no idea that the lion was collared and tagged and a park icon. Except he is a member of organizations for big game hunting, so I doubt he left it all up to the guides. Just seems like too easy a way to lay blame on someone else, in my opinion. This is all from an article on yahoo news earlier today. They showed a photo of the door of the dentist's office where people were leaving stuffed animals as a protest against his actions. I have zero problems with hunting for food when done in accordance with the local/state laws. Studies have proven that managed hunting actually prevents long slow starvation of large numbers of animals. I have a major problem with hunting animals that are even close to being endangered, and with hunting of ANY animal if you are not planning on using every possible part of the animal. I think this man is sick. He has already killed lions, why did he need to kill another one? Isn't there some sort of ethical standard on not killing just to kill? This type of hunting, just to have a trophy, is disgusting to me I don't see a whole lot of difference between this man's actions and the actions of people who are thrill killers or who have hunted people for the thrill of killing the next trophy. Once you have killed so many of the apex predators, what is left but hunting people? This dentist has shown he has no morals or respect for hunting laws, so why would he respect any other laws about killing? I wonder if he will ever be able to open his dental practice again? (If he isn't arrested for killing the lion, that is.) I know people who have done things that have gone viral have lost their jobs, and I wonder if this man will lose all his patients? The man who went on a rant at the Chick father in law A drive through worker and posted it on youtube still cannot find a job, and all he did was post a short rant that didn't physically harm anyone on a website. This man killed an animal, and likely cost that park millions of dollars of lost revenue. I think that is far worse and I wonder what the long term consequences to this dentist will be. [/QUOTE]
