The guy has a felony record out of WI for shooting a black bear illegally. Put his ass on a plane and let him face justice.

They baited the poor thing by hanging meet on a tree. Then they sat there waiting in the dark, put a spotlight on him, and shot him with the bow. That is NOT hunting. They let him lie there bleeding overnight before killing him with a rifle. WHAT A POS! I hope he has to change his name and move.

If you don't have the balls to stalk him and get close enough to make the shot, what sport is that?

This. The crime was in their country. Let him face their justice system.

Nailed it.

We need to act quickly to be the first to sell "save the Lions" ribbons, wrist-bands, or some such caring-competition garb.

Murder involves a human being. Even if an animal is killed in a bad way, it still is not murder.

I kill many animals a year to provide for food and don't consider myself a murderer. You can't eat animals when they are alive, except for an oyster here or there.

This is Zimbabwe not Montana. Back when it was Rhodesia the economy was based on farming and mining. Now as Zimbabwe, it's economy has faltered and a lot of money is made through trophy hunting. People depend on this for their livelihood whether you like it or not, while sipping your "half caf mochacinno" and ignoring bigger problems we face in this world.

How many gophers have suffered the wrath of your spinning mower blades of death?

Are they simply not majestic enough for you to care about their suffering?

You may think I look very idiotic, but I think your posts make you look very hypocritical. Based on your posts, we can devise a pretty accurate picture of your weltanschauung.

The Relative Importance of Lifeforms According To Baz
1) Beautiful and revered or majestic creatures (see: cuddly)
2) Pets
3) Some humans
4) Animals that typical politically-correct Americans want to eat or wear
5) Animals that get in the way
6) Humans that disagree with (1) and/or (2)

Is that pretty accurate?

I guess that is why he bow hunts.

This is poaching, not a normal trophy hunt. Might as well harpoon Shamu while he is out in the open sea as well.

"Two wrongs don't make a right" but this cockroach deserves to be treated in the same repugnant & morally reprehensible manner in which he allegedly dispatched an innocent animal. This won't happen of course so I'll offer up the suggestion(after due process) 'the powers that be' take the crumb-ball & hack his nuts off with a rusty fork. It won't right the wrong, but it'll give the ba$tard something to think about next time he decides to go "trophy" hunting - a disgusting practice at best.

Exactly! REAL hunters do more for wildlife than most, but I'll wait for Higgins to set you guys straight . My uncle has been "training" for months (hiking several miles per day w/ a 40lb backpack), 'cause he's dropping 20K to pursue a mountain ram on the north slope of Alaska in a few weeks. His guide does 4 trips per year and it's highly regulated. If my uncle can get with 500 yds of one (iffy), then I hope he gets one. He's also more of a woodsman and animal lover than most on this board I suspect....to each their own.

That dentist should face the full wrath of their legal system imo.

I haven't hunted since I was a youngin', and practice "catch & release" when I fish, but to place all trophy hunters into the same category as this azzhole dentist is a stretch from my perspective too....YMMV.

More accurately... might as well harpoon Shamu while he circles the tank at Sea World.

I am aware we kill big brown eyed moo cows every day so we can have our In and Out double double.

I am also cool with hunting (even thou I don't) but no way this is "hunting".

I always thought there should be some higher purpose to killing an animal than just having fun. But there are people out there, like this dentist, who enjoy killing for the fun of it. I don't get it.

If he broke the LAW in Zimbabwe, let him face the law in Zimbabwe. It is not wrong to face the justice of the law you broke. He KNEW full well he was breaking the law.

If you do the crime, do the time.
