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?
I've seen too many posts where others are accused of being a lion human.Is a lion human?
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?
What about Richard the Lionhearted?
Can somebody at least tell me for sure how you pronounce his name, I've heard it both ways
Cecil - pronounced seesill
Cecil - pronounced seh sul
Actually God created lions to eat the herbs of the earth according to Genesis. After the flood animals became meat eaters
Cecil - pronounced seh sul
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.
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.
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.
Named for Cecil Rhodes, foremost British imperialist of the late Victorian era, founder of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe and Zambia) and an instigator of the Boer War, not to mention fabulously wealthy diamond entrepreneur and creator of the Rhodes Scholarship.
