Welcome to Africa, and the morons typical from "The View", that send them MILLIONS each year.Originally posted by frizzlefry
This hunt was deemed illegal by the government that hands out trophy permits.
What a disgrace that each Ethiopian can't have a Starbucks Cappuccino every morning.
What a disgrace for all human kind that one would kill another life form for a trophy.

A better solution would be for the humans that live there to stop breeding more humans into an unsustainable environment. That's really the root problem here.
on both counts.
Except that breeding thingy? That's not limited to Africa.
In addition, that statement of "they only make a dollar a day", is meaningless without the context. For example:
1) Is the dollar in such statements referring to a specific currency? Would a Schilling suffice?
2) How long is their work day to make that "dollar"?
3) What is their specific cost of living?
4) Do they trade labor for goods?
5) Do they pay property and income taxes?

The part you don't seem to get is they don't want your help. They don't care about you 50 point plan with checks and balances. All they want is your cash.
FIXED for ya Codetrap.
Yes, that's what you meant. I just clarified.

Did they kill his bro too? (not sure if proven hoax etc.) but if true, Are you internetz ppl gonna go after the poachers too? or not because the poachers might be some gangsters you don't want to mess with vs some chubby american dentist.

I'm against poaching and all, but I just can't bring myself to the level of outrage that this story is generating.
It sucks. But it's a fucking lion. I got bigger things to worry about

Yup, exactly, so everyone who is pissed at this dentist, should really focus their rage to the gov't. They allowed him to do it in the first place, I have yet to read an article saying that the permits were not gov't approved.Originally posted by SmAcKpOo
If there wasn't a demand for this sort of thing then the government wouldn't be issuing permits.
I'm sure if he didn't get a permit, he wouldn't have gone on the hunt in the first place.
It's just like when ppl get pissed at hunters for trophy hunting polar bears, well the gov't of canada approved the hunt for $30k, so how is it the hunters fault?

Notorious lion killer dies on hunt after falling 100ft to his death
December 15, 2016
A vet who became notorious online after posting a series of photos online of his trophy kills, including a lion, has died after he slipped on ice and plunged 100ft to his death on a hunt.
Luciano Ponzetto, 55, repeatedly received death threats and hate mail after posting snaps that showed him standing next to the lifeless bodies of the great beasts that he had killed.
Ponzetto was killed after he slipped while hunting birds in Turin, falling 100ft into the ravine in Colle delle Oche, Italy.
Confirming his death, an Italian police spokesperson told The Sun: ‘We were called by the mountain rescue services who had been alerted to the incident by someone who was out with him.
‘His body was recovered by helicopter and taken to a local hospital.
‘It looks like he slipped and fell when he was out hunting. He died instantly and there was nothing that could be done.’
Before his death, Ponzetto had previously threatened to take legal action against the people sending him death threats – and repeatedly defended his actions, claiming that being a vet is ‘not incompatible with hunting, either morally or professionally.’

Pretty safe to say not many will be mourning his death. Will be funny what Jimmy Kimmel says if the topic is brought up.
