taxman Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 He was lured out of the reserve, shot with a bow and arrow then tracked for 40 hours before being shot, skinned and beheaded. A Spanish hunter paid £35,000 to kill Cecil and was helped by a professional guide from The Zimbabwe Professional Hunters and Guides Association. It is estimated that Zimbabwe would have gained the £35,000 in just five days from tourists at a nearby lodge wishing to photograph Cecil. His six cubs have been given up for dead as well. But hey, some rich inadequate gets to hang a dead animal on their wall so that's alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 They want to arrest that sick freak and string him up. Sadly that country is so disgustingly corrupt he's probably paid off the authorities and flown home already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celia Paul Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I find it difficult to find words to describe these people without resorting to vulgarities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 The US dentist confirmed to have killed Cecil says he is "upset". More like distraught he's been globally named and shamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Zimbabwe hasn't had hardly any tourists for about 15 years. had anybody actually ever heard of this allegedly 'famous' lion before it got shot? Few animals have their own Wikipedia articles, mostly they are racehorses like Red Rum and Shergar, and the occasional oddity like Dolly the Cloned Sheep. Cecil the Lion wasn't famous enough while he was alive to have his own Wikipedia article although that may change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 What is wrong with someone like that, was he trying to make a name for himself thinking he would be a 'big man' in the eyes of the world - it's only made him the opposite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a separate incident to the one in the news overnight and today of the American dentist that has payed money to kill a lion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 it is not like lions are an endangered species - although some people have been trying to make out that they are an endangered species, they are not on the endangered species lisr. In fact I think they are the only big cat that is NOT on the endangered species list. They aren't called the king of the jungle for nothing.
