Cecil the Lion

[t00nces2]

I'm torn on this one with you PTS. On the one hand I do like the Gov to be relatively hands-off, but on the other I have seen the benefits of our "fee" dollars go towards the Fish & Wildlife Dept., which has made my fishing and hunting experiences better. But personally I dont see the need to kill lions. Maybe they offer the same hunt but only supply a knife next time instead of a scoped rifle...make it more interesting (and put it on video for the electronically depraved Americans to consume). My money would be on the lion

I would imagine the bush villages would rather see the lion dispatched instead of their children. Bears are on the rise here in Florida, so, bear hunts have been authorized. Alligators are routinely killed to keep pets and children and elderly safer.

Even with a scoped rifle, the outcome of a lion hunt is not set in stone.
