August 6, 201511 yr Please...that would be a tragedy. However as the population of mankind continues to explode there is encroachment that comes with it conflict. One would hope our species would be intelligent enough to manage this without simply eradicating other species. That appears to be asking too much. I value human life above all else. Here in this country we moved back predatory animals for our own saftey. Seems like common sense.
August 6, 201511 yr I value human life above all else. Here in this country we moved back predatory animals for our own saftey. Seems like common sense. Good for you. Let's continue to overpopulate with abandon as we are at present and it won't be a problem. Doesn't make sense to me. I don't place a high value on self-centered, self-righteous people who believe this planet and everything on it is ours to soil and throw away because we are God's chosen creatures.

If you value animal life over human we will never agree.
August 6, 201511 yr If you value animal life over human we will never agree. I respect ALL life. I don't think anyone on here has ever stated that they value human life over animal. However, if we want to talk about specifics....I value Cecil's life over the Aurora theatre shooter's life at this point. One deserved to live and one deserved to die.

Because that is a valid comparison. Comparing a psycho killer thousands of miles away. Way to keep the debate in perspective. As long as a species isn't endangered and no laws are broken. I say fire away. Edited August 6, 201511 yr by Colonels_Wear_Blue Repairing Quote

As long as a species isn't endangered and no laws are broken. I say fire away. So you value then some human lives and not some others. By the way, African lions face extinction by 2050 according to our own fish and wildlife director. Who makes that list...oh....people. Edited August 6, 201511 yr by Colonels_Wear_Blue Repairing Quote
August 6, 201511 yr Sorry , but do you according to yourself unsilly American understand Zimbabwe's population growth is second in the world? That is the bigger issue behind this. In my opinion, this guy personifies the ignorance. If the population of the article circle explodes, there will be more death by wolf and polar bear....do we kill them all? Do you have a link that shows Zimbabwe's population growth in 2nd in the world? What I could find showed less than 5% increase from 2000-2010.
August 6, 201511 yr Do you have a link that shows Zimbabwe's population growth in 2nd in the world? What I could find showed less than 5% increase from 2000-2010. Population growth rate - Country Comparison Try this.
August 6, 201511 yr Population growth rate - Country Comparison Try this. That matches what I saw from Zimbabwe based on % however it also lists the US at .77%. Also there are only about 13 million people in Zimbabwe so even if it was first based on % that doesn't necessarily mean there are people stacked up everywhere.
August 6, 201511 yr ZIMBABWE CONSERVATION TASK FORCE Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten. Cree Indian Prophecy

There is a large nature park...maybe we can get our banks to loan some developers some money and they can plow it under and put in some spec. homes and strip malls like we do here.
August 14, 201511 yr This was a pathetic act by everyone involved. I'm not sure how anyone can defend any of them after reading this: https://gma.yahoo.com/happened-harrowing-hours-cecil-lion-killed-184737118--abc-news-topstories.html

August 25, 201511 yr Sad news from the same park in Zimbabwe, a safari guide was killed by a male lion.
