It's just a lion guys. People and their selective biases towards animals. Nobody calls the poster smashing spiders with shoes a psychopath.

 

[KurtSloane]

Now kill the hunter.

That's no hunter, that's a coward.

I hope karma fucks him severely

 

[Cow Mengde]

Lions are endangered.

This comparison makes no fucking sense.

YEAH AND FUCK HIS EMPLOYEES WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT TOO AND PROBABLY HAVE FAMILIES THEY NEED TO FEED.

What's with this argument always? You never want to punish anyone who has employees? No wonder the 1% get away with everything.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Wasn't this lion like super old and aggressive, making it harder for younger lions to breed? Or was that a different lion.

People and their selective biases towards the "law" and the "environment".

You don't seem to understand the concept of illegal hunting and poaching. It's not that he killed a lion. It's that he killed a protected animal, in a illegal hunt and tried to destroyed evidence. That's a crime, and hey look at that, the other assholes that were with him are being charged.

 

[Doctor West]

I fucking hate hunters. Absolute scum.

 

[Common Knowledge]

I'm not a fan of hunting regardless, but in cases such as these... I really don't get it. There's not even any difficulty/strategy involved in the hunt that a person can conceivably get an interest out of and try to overcome; at that point, you're literally just getting a thrill out of watching a living thing die. It's disturbing.

It was an endangered species that this douche had to pay poachers to lead away from protection so they could kill it. This guy is disgusting and should be extradited to face prosecution as an example to other jackass poachers.

YEAH AND FUCK HIS EMPLOYEES WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT TOO AND PROBABLY HAVE FAMILIES THEY NEED TO FEED.

Maybe another dentist will come stake out his workers and "take care" of their children.

 

[Currygan]

he is the asshole on the left. Apparently he has a history of illegal hunting all across the world. UNGHH


unnngghhhh what a piece of useless human scum. Fucking found him in front of me I'da punched his arrogant ass face across the room

 

[BronsonLee]

YEAH AND FUCK HIS EMPLOYEES WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT TOO AND PROBABLY HAVE FAMILIES THEY NEED TO FEED.

Don't tell me what to do! You're not my...mom?

But yeah, this is bullshit. Hope he enjoys the blowback from it.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Nothing manlier than killing animals, am I right guys?

Fuck this guy.

Poachers Defence Force checking in it seems.

 

[Violence Jack]

Edit: And here comes the internet revenge. His Yelp page.

His business is already dead.

 

[Mom]

That's a leap in logic!

 

[spookyfish]

Not the first time he has been accused of disregarding the rules, it seems.

I fucking hate hunters. Absolute scum.

While I understand this sentiment, legal hunting doesn't bother me so much. It's the poaching/illegal nature of this specific kill that he should have to pay for.

 

[LegendofLex]

YEAH AND FUCK HIS EMPLOYEES WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT TOO AND PROBABLY HAVE FAMILIES THEY NEED TO FEED.

Make him compensate them as part of the judgment.

 

[ezekial45]

Damn, this guy's Yelp page is getting flooded

No, it was notably friendly, that's why it became semi-famous.

 

[eznark]

He says he had the proper permits. Will wait to pass judgement.

 

[Tagyhag]

He was lured out of a national park with food, shot with a crossbow, tracked for 40 more hours, then finished off with a gun,

You have to be a special kind of sadist to be a hunter.

Following an injured animal that can't do anything about it for more than 40 hours just to finish it off? Disgusting.

 

[fallengorn]

Fuck. This. Dude.

 

[BronsonLee]

He says he had the proper permits. Will wait to pass judgement.

If the story checks out where they lured the lion out of the park at night, he's done.

 

[Trojita]

I want to reiterate, you should kill yourself and donate your body to a big cat preserve w/ the express purpose of using your corpse as a scratching post.

 

[KurtSloane]

It's just a lion guys. People and their selective biases towards animals. Nobody calls the poster smashing spiders with shoes a psychopath.

Your opinion is absolutely disgusting.

I will say no more, you are not worth getting banned over.


Ignored.

 

[F0rneus]

He says he had the proper permits. Will wait to pass judgement.

It's not like he has a history of poaching and making false statements to federal investigators, eh...Oh.

 

[Limited Edition]

And some people defend this shit saying the money goes to locals.

People will defend the ones that do it legally. This guy was far, far across that line. There is no defending it.

 

[TwoDurans]

I'm all for similar punishment in this case. Shoot him with an arrow and let him limp away trying to survive for half a day until he finally can't fight any longer.

Fortunately there's a special hell for people like him.

 

[kruis]

YEAH AND FUCK HIS EMPLOYEES WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT TOO AND PROBABLY HAVE FAMILIES THEY NEED TO FEED.

He's a dentist.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

He says he had the proper permits. Will wait to pass judgement.

The issue is the safari team luring the lion from the preservation area before shooting it. That in itself is highly illegal and should be prosecuted as such.

He had a permit to hunt big game, not one that was nationally protected.

 

[Mom]

How long before the internet finds out where his kids go to school???

He's a dentist.

Maybe if you'd visit the dentist now and then, you'd know they have receptionists and assistants.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

YEAH AND FUCK HIS EMPLOYEES WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT TOO AND PROBABLY HAVE FAMILIES THEY NEED TO FEED.

This is stupid. This means that no matter what a business owner does, we can't punish them?

 

[BronsonLee]

How long before the internet finds out where his kids go to school???

I'm not sure what you're aiming at here.

 

[Agent Gibbs]

How can he be called a hunter? he hired some locals and dragged food behind a vehicle to lure an animal out of the reservation (where it was illegal to hunt) and then shot it with a bow and arrow! then they tried to destroy the GPS collar and when they finally 40 HOURS later put the animal out of its misery (or you know take it for medical care...) they cut off its head and skin it

The "professional" say's it was a mistake? no no no yu think its a mistake now you're at the eye of one hell of a shitstorm

This Dentist is scum, there is no skill in this "hunt" its the lamest way of making any creature follow you into a trap, he's a poacher and should be extradited and tried under the harshest poaching laws

But since he won't get extradited lets hope his lively hood is destroyed and he can sit at home in his animal head cave and weep

EDIT

sign of a psychopath, he's only one step up from wandering a neighborhood killing pets, the difference being he pays to kill animals that aren't 'owned'

Not the first time he has been accused of disregarding the rules, it seems.

http://www.weau.com/home/headlines/18015589.html

Well shit sounds like this guy has a wonderful history for ignoring the law, its not much of a leap to think he knows the law just enough to know how to walk that fine line and get away with it

 

[The Jackdog]

It's just a lion guys. People and their selective biases towards animals. Nobody calls the poster smashing spiders with shoes a psychopath.

oh because there are just as many lions as there are spiders right?

talk about a lack of perspective

 

[Jelly Rajah]

Humans are fucked up, news at 11

 

[Ushojax]

He says he had the proper permits. Will wait to pass judgement.

He clearly didn't have the permits to do what he did, as his accomplices have been arrested and charged.

I doubt very much that the Zimbabwean authorities gave him permission to lure a famous lion out of their national park, skin it, behead it, and leave it's defiled corpse in the open after trying to destroy it's tracking collar.

 

[hypernima]

It's just a lion guys. People and their selective biases towards animals. Nobody calls the poster smashing spiders with shoes a psychopath.

Spiders are far from threatened species.

 

[ryan13ts]

I say throw him out into the area where he lured the Lion from. If there's any karma in the world, the dead Lion's cubs/pride will find him first and get revenge for papa.

I have no sympathy for scum like this.

 

[Tagyhag]

This is stupid. This means that no matter what a business owner does, we can't punish them?

Think of the children! Why won't anyone think of the children?!

Shit man, I have to get me some employees.

 

[HarryKS]

This guy needs to die slowly and painfully.

Yo, come on now. Let's not engage in this path.

 

[The Jackdog]

so what happens now? hes an american and this happened in africa, is he safe?

 

[NEO0MJ]

Disgusting.

The argument for these exotic hunts are usually,

"The animal is old and no longer has sex, the meat is going to fead all these poor black people! See, I'm helping!"

It's stupid.

The money is useful, but only when done legally. While killing the animals is unfortunate it will allow others to live. Maintaining these places is expensive after all.

 

[EloquentM]

I'm outraged at this blatant disregard for the autonomy of such amazing animals, our majestic cousins. They should put this guy in prison. *takes giant chomp out of baconator*

You make such a good point.

/s

 

[old manatee]

total psychopath.

YEAH AND FUCK HIS EMPLOYEES WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT TOO AND PROBABLY HAVE FAMILIES THEY NEED TO FEED.

They are better off not being around someone like that day in and day out.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Hahah that Yelp page. I absolutely love it, fuck this guy and everything he stands for.

 

[railGUN]

Fuck poachers. What a piece of shit.
