(5,946 posts)'I had no idea that the lion I took was a known, local favorite, was collared and part of a study until the end of the hunt. I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt.'
If you can't see the collar and weren't there when the lion was lured out of the protected zone, just exactly how can you see to hunt?
This man also killed a white Rhino in 20-05, you know where there is one last male rhino alive today because they have all been hunted,. This man has too much money. fine him fine him in the millions sohe can't afford to do this again.

(2 posts)Would be more than happy to see him turned over whether one exists or not.
And the heads to explode at Fox News should this actually occur.
This would be a very interesting case should that happen. Regardless of whether it happens or not, this outrage doesn't look like it will dissipate.
And I'm glad for that fact.

(13,340 posts)There is a specific process that has to be followed. Perosnally, I have some doubt that Zimbabwe will actually have enoug of its shit together to actually fulfil the legal requirements to request the extradition. But if they do, then we should send him.
