Cecil, famous Lion from Zimbabwe shot dead by Dentist from Minnesota for $55k

Speaking of which, I see whales are back in the news, because the Japanese are going full on whale hunting again.

They've been taking the piss for years with their neverending scientific study of what whales taste like. Hopefully they're not going to start killing endangered whales but who knows.

Then again, the lions got shot as a result of that.

Incredible that the Czech authorities weren't able to intervene and seize the lions, considering he was taking them walkies, which exposed the public to danger.

This hunting trip seems to have had a happy ending for the lions.

A search party struggled to find the body but eventually found a human skull and a pair of trousers on Thursday.

I found a very recent story regarding this but cannot post a link as it's in a paid for page. Here's an older version of a similar story

so let's let her hunt
indeed, let's make her hunt
let's leave her out in the bush with nothing but a wooden spear and see how much fun she finds it then

Indeed. If she enjoys canned hunts, she could only enjoy the hunt more if you increase the difficulty level. Works for video games.

The facade of concern for environmental conservation fell pretty quickly in her case I see. After the slightest probing she made it apparent that the real reason she likes massacring other animals is because she's a small, sad, worthless cunt who can only feel good about herself by abusing others. Hope a lion tears her to shreds.

I find canned hunting very odious.
Wild animals bred and kept in captivity only to be hunted by fee paying tourists.
It really stinks.

Asides the obvious hunting is beyond the pale for anyone who’s not a complete cunt, how does someone who ‘works in a ball bearing factory in Texas” afford to go killing big game in Africa???

In a small win for the environment in court, Grizzlies are being put back on the endangered species list and cannot be hunted by federal court order:

In August 2017, the Fish and Wildlife Service removed the Yellowstone-region grizzly bear population from the federal endangered and threatened species list, even though the area’s grizzly population had suffered high levels of human-caused deaths in recent years. That decision prompted lawsuits; in all, six lawsuits challenging the decision were filed in federal courts in Missoula, Montana, and Chicago, Illinois.

The Chicago lawsuit was transferred to Missoula, and the lawsuits were consolidated as Crow Indian Tribe, et al. v. United States, et al., case no. CV 17-89-M-DLC.

The plaintiffs’ allegations focused primarily on violations of the ESA and the Administrative Procedure Act.

Last September, U.S. District Judge Dana L. Christensen agreed that the federal agency had failed to thoroughly review the bears' status and how delisting would affect other grizzly populations in the lower 48 states. Furthermore, he said Fish and Wildlife had acted arbitrarily and capriciously by refusing to commit that any future approach to estimating grizzly numbers in the ecosystem is "calibrated" to the approach to justify delisting.

This past Tuesday the Fish and Wildlife Service officially relisted Yellowstone area grizzlies as threatened.

U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, said the judge's ruling was unwarranted.

"The court-ordered relisting of the grizzly was not based on science or facts, but was rather the result of excessive litigation pursued by radical environmentalists intent on destroying our Western way of life,” she said in a statement. "The thriving grizzly population within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem should be celebrated as a conservation success, with Wyoming investing significant resources in grizzly bear recovery and management since 2003.”

That radical environment group? The Crow tribe (and other tribes submitted briefs).

This guy sometimes has good points. This suit was brought by the Crow tribe under an environmental statute, because treaty law gets ignored. He also makes a good point about the cultural differences involved:

By "Our Western way of life" she means "Our genocidal/invader way of life."

<edited to add>
It occurred to me that I couldn't find a word that means "killing an entire species". "Genocide" refers to people. Would it be "genuscide" or maybe "speciscide?" I looked it up and there just isn't a word that's equivalent. What an odd thing.

I would use "extinction" in such a case.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

I don't think it conveys the concept adequately when the destruction is intentional (or at least criminally negligent). It's a passive word for an active process. I was tempted to use "ecocide", but its too broad.

That might work. I did a search and see that its been used in international agreements to describe the destruction of wildlife.

I would say something more like :

extinction by humans

 

[weltweit]

No that isn't right.

What do we say about the Dodo?

We say "hunted to extinction!"
