Is a lion human?

I don't get it, if this man paid money to the government for a permit so he could legally kill a lion, the guides took him to the reserve, they should be in trouble not him.

Well, if we can't kill them with firearms, we'll just (inevitably) kill more with fenders. That outcome, plus things like Lyme disease and ecological damage thru excess herbivory, will result in calls for control of animal populations. Do we really think it wise to exchange a program that provides revenue for things like protecting habitat and conducting search and rescue, for a taxpayer-funded sharpshooter or other animal control personnel?



This, exactly. In my area in Kansas as a teen, there were a couple county judges who declared that they would not allow deer poachers to be prosecuted. One after totaling three cars in one year. They were a real problem. And Kansas deer are nice sized, too.

We have been getting into trouble ever since we started personification and humanization of animals. Bambi did not help.

Hard cold fact: if you eat meat, you either killed it yourself or you paid someone to kill it for you. Do cannibals eat their meat without kosher bleeding?

I have never really hunted or fished for trophies--just for putting more meat in the freezer for winter--along with the side of beef and chickens. Surely, I must love killing, but I am still in denial. We were omnivores--we also had a garden. Many lived off wild meat during the 1930's depression. A lot of species were wiped out.

Slaying of animals has a precedent all the way back to the Garden of Eden when God killed animals to make skins to cover Adam and Eve , their having discovered their nakedness. Animal sacrifice was made by Abel. Cain, the first animal rights activist, did not. He made a bad choice. And another: killing his brother.

We live in a narcissistic world, run by narcissistic, in many cases, despotic atheists. A lot of money is generated in third world countries by selling whatever from the carcasses of whatever animals. There is a Black Market for such things.

The question is: Was the dentist willingly duped or blissfully ignorant?

This may wind up in the same annals as the young lady, Amanda Knox, studying in Italy, accused of killing her room mate. She was arrested, convicted, vindicated, reconvicted--for the same crime.

Lions are human--only if they have names.

Curious: many seem to be more concerned about animal rights than the rights of human fetuses.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

A few weeks ago you could have walked out there and seen what pronunciation he answered to. Although, if he was hungry, you may have been eaten. :D

Salty, he was very ethical for a lion. After all that is what God created lions to do. Cecil did not kill for the fun of killing or to collect trophies. I am not at all sure God approves of humans killing animals for fun or for trophies. What say you?

Actually God created lions to eat the herbs of the earth according to Genesis. After the flood animals became meat eaters

After the Flood or after the Fall (Garden of Eden)

Genesis 9:
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

After the Flood.

Pre-flood and pre-fall we see,

Genesis 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

But the animals didn't begin to fear each other or man until after the flood. Man didn't begin to eat meat until after the flood. That is why Noah was able to bring all the animals into the ark because they had not yet began to fear man and the food Noah gathered was for the animals too.

the verse which shows that animals didn't become meat eaters wuntil after the flood is this:

Genesis 6:
21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

Notice they ate what Noah ate and God didn't give meat to man for eating until he left the flood.

Thank you, so a more British pronounciation is correct.
