Well, one can certainly understand Ron's position here as it is a direct threat to his career and primary source of income. So much for objectivity.

It was said by someone who is often wRong.
But absolute fats remain, that without these trophy hunters, MANY African species would now be extinct at the hands of Africans.
Well one absolute fat remains and that is that in your opinion your opinions are fat.

Yes that was directed at you Gary and a few others. YOu stooped beyond low and didn't know what you were talking about. You don't like me - so you took a very CHEAP shot. GFYS
Thanks, Ron. You're right about that, though, now. Maybe you're just trolling, and you've finally hooked me, but yeah, you can take a long walk on a short pier as far as I'm concerned.
Your advocacy of wholesale slaughter of women and children got to me a bit. Imagine that. And now you blasting people for not taking responsibility for their actions, which you illustrate with a story where you did not take responsibility for your actions and instead make yourself the victim is just too much.
How's Jade Helm working out, by the way?
How is Kos gone and you are here?
I need a break.

On the dams gazelle...Hunting has been the major cause of the decline of the dama gazelle, especially after motorized hunting with modern firearms began. Recently, the dama gazelle's habitat has become increasingly drier and less suitable, due to long-term climate change as well as to overgrazing by livestock and loss of tree cover due to clearing by man. Furthermore, the increasing presence of livestock has driven the gazelle away from the pastures where it formerly obtained both food and water. Civil unrest in the area where it resides has also contributed to its decline.
Current threats include uncontrolled hunting as well as habitat loss and degradation due to overgrazing by domestic livestock. The impact of prolonged drought on pasture quality and of expanded livestock rearing due to well construction in preferred gazelle habitats also constitute threats.
Hunting again...Formerly widespread and migrating across the Saharan Desert in northern Africa, the critically endangered addax is now only found in fragmented parts of Niger and Chad. This desert-dwelling antelope has experienced an unprecedented decline in population numbers and suitable habitat, largely due to over-hunting and habitat loss.
Again..hunting at the front...In 2000, after finally succumbing to hunting, loss of habitat, climate change and war, the scimitar-horned oryx was declared extinct in the wild.

Erick "Erick" Erickson Rages for the Babies
by The Rude Pudit
Fox "news" commentator, radio commentator, and man-shaped potato Erick "Erick" Erickson has posted another mighty blog post of mightiness on his internet peek show booth mop, RedState (motto: "You know how when you step in sh#t while wearing sneakers and you scrape and scrape but there's no way to get all the sh#t out of the rubber crevices on the bottom until you get to some water. Those dried bits of sh#t you wash out later? That's us right here.").
"Shut Down the Government. Now," Erickson declares in his title and concluding paragraph. Why should we shut down the government now? Drones? Mass spying? Failure to act on climate change? The corruption of politicians through a money spigot opened fully? F*#k you, you baby-hating dicks. No, it's because Planned Parenthood gets money from the government and they're obviously straight out murdering babies in order to sell their delicious baby parts for cold, hard cash.
Yeah, after another of those oh-so-graphic descriptions of abortions (Guess what? Medical procedures are kinda gross), Erickson proclaims, "[T]he federal government gives Planned Parenthood millions of dollars each year. The Democrats say the money does not pay for abortions, but your federal taxpayer dollars subsidize an organization that could do quite well on its own. Our tax dollars should not go to carving up kids and harvesting their organs. But they do."
Planned Parenthood received a bit over $500 million a year from Medicaid and other sources. By the Rude Pundit's awesome ability to use a calculator, that works out to be tinier than Erick "Erick" Erickson's prick, like 1/10,000th of a percent of the entire federal budget. You'd think a war or something might inspire calls to shut down the government, but, hey, let's just give Erickson a refund of a penny. It'll still be more than he spent on Planned Parenthood.
Erickson has what he believes is an appalling statistic: "According to testimony into Planned Parenthood’s practices in Texas, Planned Parenthood of Houston alone makes $120,000.00 a month from the deaths of children and the harvesting of their organs." That testimony is from the sham hearing going on in the Texas Legislature (motto: "Really? Do you expect us to legislate?"). Erickson links to a tweet that reported on the testimony by a former Planned Parenthood employee. Now, you, being rational, might think, "Oh, sh#t, is this a whistleblower with all kinds of documents and sh#t?"
F*#k no. In fact, Abby Johnson, the former official in question, tweeted to naysayers who wanted proof of her assertion, "I didn't steal any documents when I left. Would you have preferred that I did?" Well, yeah. That's how you blow a f*#kin' whistle. In a report from an anti-choice group on the hearing, Johnson wasn't as sure as the tweeting reporter was: "Johnson testified that her Planned Parenthood clinic made $200 per baby. She said fetal tissue donations were 'sheer profit for Planned Parenthood.' Even with a conservative estimate, she said, the large quota-based Planned Parenthood clinic that had even 50 tissue donors abortions a day could easily make $120,000 a month from tissue donation." "Could" and "estimate" do not a true statement make.
In other words, the more proper testimony would have been "I pulled this number right out of my as#@&%e." That's because according to Planned Parenthood's own tax documents, they would have had to commit massive tax fraud to cover up that much money a month.
When you rely on fake videos, you rely on fake facts, also known as "lies." When you rely on lies for one part of your argument, hey, what they hell, eh, Erick? You may as well go all in.

some more Rude Pundit fun
Maine's governor, Paul LePage, is an unrepentant inflamed, bloody as#@&%e. He is probably insane, certainly incompetent, and folksy and down-to-earth and tell-it-like-it-is enough to get elected because, in this stupid country, braying assholishness is seen as courage, howling insanity is seen as likeability, and head-smashing idiocy is seen as wisdom. Reward the goon-looking motherf*#ker who has all three with reelection.
So not only has LePage vetoed multiple times the state legislature's attempt to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, a veto upheld by the same legislature, but prior to that he cut MaineCare (as the Medicaid program is called there) by nearly 70,000 participants by lowering the income eligibility threshold and by other conservative f*#kery. This was back in 2011, when the rats and lice in the legislature voted to support LePage's cuts. He had tried to boot 19 and 20 year olds off it, but the Department of Health and Human Services in DC told him to stop being such a c#&% about it because the federal government considers people under 21 to be minors when it comes to this kind of sh#t. He tried to sue the HHS, but the U.S. Supreme Court shut that down. Yeah, this f*#ker can't go to jail soon enough. - See more at: http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/#sthash.X5YXXg3X.dpuf

What's your point?
If you click on the link, you will see that another lion has been killed in Zimbabwe right near where the first one was killed and a few days later.
So, there are now reportedly at least two lions that have been shot in a very short span of time.
As far as having a point, I don't.
