cecil the lion
(yes, wikipedia, cause i'm blogging about this like a week after it happened so i can't be bothered to find an article about it from then rather than from now)
i'm not particularly against hunting; i do eat meat, after all. but lean towards the thought that hunting should be to serve another purpose than for fun or sport. good reasons include hunting for food, keeping animal populations in check, killing off animals that are obviously sick or have hurt humans previously.
anyway, regarding the actual american dentist who killed the lion. if it's true, that he didn't know that it was illegal, i don't think he should be prosecuted. it's not fair. he hired a company that promised him whatever. it's not crazy for him to assume that they would do it legally. the professionals that he hired, on the other hand, should be prosecuted. they should have known what they were doing was illegal, and if they didn't, then they're still shady as fuck because they're running a company so they should be prosecuted anyway!
