The lion-killing dentist

by vicstir on Wed Jul 29, 2015 6:32 am

It is possibly old news to all of you in the U.S., but today it was all over our news about this dentist from Minnesota who killed a protected lion just so it could be skinned and hung up on his wall. Then it showed photos of all the other highly endangered animals he has killed for trophies. I hope anyone who was using his dental surgery has since boycotted. Maybe if he has no income he can not afford to hunt anymore.

He in my opinion is a dirt bag. Shame an animal has not got the better of him. It saddens me that people need to kill for anything other then food.

That's all, I'm just disgusted.

I agree that it is disgusting. My former dentist in Carrollton, Texas was mauled by a tiger while on expedition in Africa and consequently lost tendons in his right arm and shoulder. He was not able to practice surgery after that. Ironic.

Shame the hunted don't get the hunter more often. Are hunters who do so for pleasure not need any better than serial killers? I don't think so. Who they going to turn on when there is no animals left?

Perhaps they could turn their attention's on ISIS, at least that would be a fairer fight.
