And when Reuters went to interview Zimbabweans about the kill, the Zimbabweans asked ‘Who's Cecil?’. They also, generally, were shocked that anyone would care about the killing of a lion as it happens ‘all of the time’ in Zimbabwe. Assigning First World emotion and social punishment to a Third World country. It's the type of thing that Leftist’s are good at!

Has the Doctor taken his family into hiding with him, or is he alone? I suspect he is no longer in this ‘fracked up’ country. Give it a few months, let the holiday season pass, return on March 30th. March 30th just happens to be the opening of Wild Turkey Hunting season in California.

what’s amazing to me is that Cecil is named for Cecil Rhodes the founder of the now defunct Rhodesia and presumed nemesis of the tyrant Mugabe.

What I wonder is why Mugabe would permit the name. Why has the namer not been imprisoned for treason?

There’s alot of other animals in that area that would thank Dr. Walter Palmer if they could.

Just goes to show one can't predict events unfolding in the world. Six months ago, who would have known a billionaire businessman would be a front runner for POTUS, that a dead lion would be world news, and that people are harvesting babies to sell for body parts.

I guess an African lion is better than a lyin’ African...
