I hope we stop bringing up three-month old posts about things that happen more often than what we see covered in the news.

The fact it's population is declining and (should) be a protected endangered species probably means nothing to you. You have a history of zero compassion towards animals.

We have problems when more people care about why a lion died than why Seth Rich died.

I don't know that "being too intelligent to get sucked into dumbass tinfoil hat conspiracy theories" is a problem, but carry on.

I think liberals have used Cecil as a way to distract the People from Seth's murder.

Declining for many reasons and hunting is not one of them. These poor countries need to use international big game hunting as a natural resource because there isn't much else.

Did they end up eating Cecil? I can't recall. I wonder what smoked lion would taste like.

"Adam Ruins Everything" tends to be pretty on most of the time.

As for never holding a gun, what makes you think that?

From the article:
More then 70 per cent of funds to safeguard Zimbabwe’s wildlife and catch poachers comes from revenue from professional hunters.
Sounds like this might be an instance in which the hunting actually helps conservation.

Same questions applies to his son. I assume the meat is a bit more tender at a younger age.

This is the case with most hunting.

I've never looked into it, but that hardly seems surprising.
