The WhiteHouse.gov petition calling for the extradition of Walter Palmer, the Minnesota dentist who recently admitted to killing Cecil the Lion in Zimbabwe, has surpassed 100,000 signatures, meaning the White House will have to respond to the petition.

These people make me sick

Why? The slaughter of that lion is evil. Selling body parts of the preborn is evil. I'm not going to play "lesser of two evils" anymore.

Oh really? I did not know that. Hmmm. He is sounding more guilty.

I say Cecil deserved it for all of those Zebras he ate.

This guy needs to learn a F’n lesson. This is not the first time he has lured an animal illegally to it’s death.

Yep. This guy has a history in this regard. The motivation for my original post is not that he is innocent. It's a note on how fast a certain segment of society wants him extradited, when no arrest warrant has even been issued.

Yes. Palmer's guide evidently lured the lion out of the game preserve. That's a crime, and the guide and the landowner have both been charged by Zimbabwe. The question is whether or nor Palmer knew about that luring ahead of time.

The petition signers do not care to wait.

Where did the signatures come from? Verify the signatures, they are fraudulent.

“The slaughter of that lion is evil.”

Ummm...huh?

It is not evil for a human being to kill an animal. As a matter of fact, it is specifically allowed by the ultimate arbiter of good and evil.

Is it evil to kill them all?

Even though Black Americans only make up 13% of our population, they account around 50% of our abortions.

A life of a lion is worth more than a life of a human baby. That is clearly established here in USA.

“Is it evil to kill them all?”

Some people think that it would be very unfortunate, but I know of no reason to think it evil.

So the lion never stayed off the preserve before this?

Sorry, but I’m having a hard time ginning up any sympathy for this event.

Some of those nice ladies who come to my house occasionally to read me a Bible passage had one (was it John?) about it being sinful to kill an animal unless it was necessary for food.

Are you sure the ultimate arbitrator of good and evil thinks it's okay to destroy His creations for sport?

You’ll have to show me that.

They must love seeing the Sally Struthers commercials on the telly. Palmer has done more to feed them starving children than any of the people signing the petition.
