Senators Introduce "CECIL Act" After Outcry Over Killed African Lion

[pwjohn]

A law should be put in place that bans all hunting of rare animals...If there's less then 10,000 of such species the punishment should be harsh.

20 years in prison.

I'm a liberal and I think what you're proposing is really stupid. Oh, and like you, I take a really dim view of trophy hunting.

Why? The longer we don't put real teeth behind the crime of trophy hunting the more species are going to die.

How's about jurisdiction for one thing ?

Last I heard there are no African lions roaming the plains of America.

So what in the hell do we need another ******* law for that, when we already have laws on the books dating back more then a hundred dam years.

No concern about the people of Zimbabwe, but we want to hang a guy for killing an animal. The every day people of Zimbabwe don't care about the lion, they are busy trying to survive day by day.

Off topic for a second....

I hear that Jericho, Cecils "brother" (comrade in guarding cubs and lionesses) is indeed alive and well...and...drumroll...is still protecting Cecils cubs. Jericho could have killed them, but instead, "adopted" them as his own. I think that is awesome and rare for a lion to do.

Ok. Done. Carry on.

Oh for ***** sake!
There are already laws regarding big game hunting and what can and cant be brought back.
If you poach an animal you more than likely wont be able to get it back to the states anyway because you wont have the proper permits.

Poaching...it's already illegal.

Yes, usually it it - if you're caught. However, dentist Walter Palmer thought he outsmarted the wildlife authorities by baiting Cecil off the protected Hwange national park. That's akin to baiting protected animals out of a zoo.

His guides did that. From what I understand he didnt know he was shooting a lion named Cecil.

Sure, Just like he didn't know the bear HE was dragging 40 miles back from where it was shot couldn't be shot where it was shot.

You have proof or are you just blowing more shit out your ass?

With 93 million Americans out of the labor force and the economy in the toilet, I'm glad the Democrats are keeping their priorities straight.

Record 93 626 000 Americans Not in Labor Force Participation Rate Declines to 62.6

God damn those seniors for having the unmitigated gall to retire! When there is a Dem president they are required to slavishly work until they drop dead on the job. Seniors are only allowed to retire when a RepubliKlan is president because only then the LPR, like Deficits, doesn't matter.

I always have proof, you should know that by now!

Twin Cities dentist admits killing beloved lion thought he was acting legally - StarTribune.com
In 2008, he pleaded guilty in federal court in Wisconsin to misleading a federal agent in connection with the hunting of a black bear. Two years earlier, Palmer had killed a bear near Phillips, in Price County. That location was 40 miles outside of the zone where he held a permit to hunt bear.

Palmer and others transported the bear carcass to a registration station inside the allowed hunting zone, according to court documents, and at the station, he falsely certified that the bear had been killed in the legal zone.

Dude sounds like a jackass...but you cant use past deeds against him,at least thats what liberals always say when it comes to a dead street thug,so I think it's only fair we apply that rule here right?

Male lions have no part of raising cub lions. The cubs are part of a pride and the male helps the lionesses protect the pride. Nice try though
