Strangle a Staffie bitch, and.... *crickets*
"The witnesses attended that night and found the freshly dug area. They confronted her the next day but were told it was just toys that had been buried. The next night they went back and discovered the body, and called us.
"A couple of weeks later, Cowan admitted she had killed Beau and buried her in the garden at the incident location."Yet no anchormen weep at the thought of the dog's demise.
No artist will paint a mural on Hayley Cowan's front door.
No enraged mob will descend on her (no doubt taxpayer funded) house to drive her out.
Isn't it amazing what a chav can do, that a rich professional can't..? Who is the 'privileged' one, again?

As I understand it, the outrage is not not just the fact that the lion was killed, but that it was wounded with a crossbow bolt and was left in pain while it was hunted down and killed (with a rifle). Perhaps if the dentist had a molar pulled without anaesthetic, told to go away for two days and then given pain relief, he may understand a modicum of what the lion experienced. As far as the chav is concerned, it appears the wrong one was buried.

Am I alone in finding it hilarious that an allegedly popular lion in the former Southern Rhodesia was called 'Cecil' by the locals?
You are aware that no one in Zimbabwe, government, press or people, actually gives a flying about 'Cecil'. They had never even heard of this alleged 'favourite' or 'icon' and if they had they have more pressing problems. Remember Zimbabwe where hundreds of white farmers are hounded off their land, assaulted and killed each year. Zimbabwe where thousands of blacks are murdered, often by their own government, each year? Rapes, murders, assaults, rampant crime and starvation. And from the twitterati/press – not a peep, crickets!
We'll gloss over the facts that they're (openly, proudly, … hypocritically) all calling for the murder of a 'human being' (whilst weeping over a wild animal that would eat them in a heartbeat). The fact that almost all the average men/women in the street in Zimbabwe (worried about themselves and their children becoming Cecil’s lunch) are quite happy about this. The fact that lions, rather than being close to endangered, are overpopulated to the extent they are encroaching on towns/cities. The fact that with it's (socialist demagogue managed) economy in so pitiful a state the 'only' reason that enough money exists to pay for game wardens and safari parks is because of the vast monies they get from charging the wealthy to hunt (also forgetting that without them there'd still have to be selective culls to manage the populations. The alternative is overpopulation and thousands of animals starving to death/destroying the habitat/human deaths). That the 'masses' of LIV's had (I guarantee you!) never even heard of Cecil a day ago and the only people who actually called it Cecil were the rich Oxford team of (public funded tourists) 'researchers'.
The real question is why, when all this happened some time ago, that the media and twittermob are publicising this now. It couldn't have anything to do with the (real, legitimate and horrendous) revelations regarding the Planned Parenthood videos could it? Something to distract the LIV's? Something to replace it in the headlines and news reports? No, of course not?!? (Notice again how those most vociferous in weeping and wailing the hunting of a lion are silent, or worse actively defend, the actions of the torture, killing and harvesting of organs of thousands/millions of babies each year?).
I thought I'd reached the limits of how much I have grown to despise most of my 'fellow men', I guess I was wrong.
Oh, and just an aside on the 'cruelty' aspect. The movies/TV have a lot to answer for (with one-shot kills and people being knocked back twenty feet when hit with a .22).
How do you think an animal/person who is shot dies (as compared to a high-powered hunting crossbow there is no, zero, zilch difference)?
When shot there are two routes, a CNS (central nervous system, brain or brain-stem) or vascular (heart) shot. 'Only' a CNS shot will cause 'instant' death, the 'heart' shot kills by allowing 'bleeding out' – a matter of seconds/minutes (animals often run miles after 'perfect' heart shots). In most large wild animals a CNS shot is ineffective (tough bones/body mass) or so difficult it is effectively impossible, hence almost all hunting is 'heart' and the suffering is minimal (certainly compared to starving to death).
Notice again that those most vociferous fail to complain about a certain religion-which-can't-be-named insisting on not 'stunning' meat animals before cutting their throats (consciously suffering stress/pain for a considerable time) or just where their Laboutins/Loakes get the leather they're made from?
LIV's and hypocrites, as I said.
(Oh, and no I don't hunt, because I don't have to. My experience comes from hunting things that hunt/shoot back).
There is less hypocrisy in this than Able thinks.
Many of the people baying for blood over the lion's killing (yes, a disgusting act) are only doing so because a wealthy American is the culprit. The same people never utter a peep of protest as the Chinese (aided and abetted by Africans) daily slaughter wildlife on an industrial scale.
These people are the ones who support mass immigration, the abortion industry, and the great con that is 'climate change'.
So there's actually quite a lot of consistency here - it's called Marxism.
It might just be me but I rather think that Zimbabwe, at the hands of a vicious dictatorship, suffers far greater injustices than one dead lion. How come the mob ain't baying over those?
"...the outrage is not not just the fact that the lion was killed, but that it was wounded with a crossbow bolt and was left in pain while it was hunted down and killed (with a rifle)."
I keep seeing the 'crossbow' story, but all the pics of his trophies show a compound bow. Are the media that dense that...
Wait. I appear to have answered my own question.
"Am I alone in finding it hilarious that an allegedly popular lion in the former Southern Rhodesia was called 'Cecil' by the locals?"
I doubt any locals even knew it HAD a name, as Able points out!
"It couldn't have anything to do with the (real, legitimate and horrendous) revelations regarding the Planned Parenthood videos could it?"
And most of those leading the outcry would have uttered not one squeak about Kermit Gosnell's little hobbies..
"Notice again that those most vociferous fail to complain about a certain religion-which-can't-be-named insisting on not 'stunning' meat animals before cutting their throats (consciously suffering stress/pain for a considerable time) or just where their Laboutins/Loakes get the leather they're made from?"
Spot on! That would be WAYCIST...
"The same people never utter a peep of protest as the Chinese (aided and abetted by Africans) daily slaughter wildlife on an industrial scale.

Also true.
"...I rather think that Zimbabwe, at the hands of a vicious dictatorship, suffers far greater injustices than one dead lion."
It's not even as if this is the only hunted lion this year. Or this month!
