Addie Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I was a bit cheesed off when that Aslam was killed in the Narnia film tbh. Now with this happening, if there any future for famous lions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Malkmus Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm afraid I've lost you - I eat a veriety of meals to survive, I eat M&Ms for pleasure. I don't know much about your eating habits, but I'd imagine most people who are morally outraged about this eat more than a couple of portions of meat per week, not because this is a necessity to survive, but because they enjoy the taste or variety - i.e. they're doing it for pleasure. I wonder what lion tastes like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sky News were just showing folk picketing this blokes surgery, some with professionally done signs calling for his extradition. Whilst that's probably what should happen, have these c***s not got anything better to do with their time and money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Probably better that the guy is shooting lions than his fellow citizens back in the US of A, which a lot of his countrymen do. Then again............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Lenny the Lion is the most famous lion I can think of. I have no idea what this Cecil c**t was famous for to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE KING Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 There's no moral difference between killing an endangered animal and a non-endangered one, in my opinion. Species come and go all the time and just because humans have become sentimentally attached to one species for whatever reason, doesn't make killing one of those any worse than killing a less "cuddly" or "rare" animal. What a Fukien walloper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 CIS Cup update: Fans at all CIS Cup games on Saturday 1st August will be respectfully asked to undertake a minute's growling and your scariest lion faces in recognition of Cecil prior to kick off.

Tamdunk Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I don't like when internet news hits the mainstream, it reeks of lazy journalism and this is a rather insignificant event imo. I'm against hunting - not massively, but it's not something I'd ever do, I'm also against vandettas. I do find it quite interesting seeing the online lynch mob in action, but I also find it a bit alarming. Humans are weird. The guy hunting the lion is obviously a gimp, but the mob are equally as gimpy. Gimps all round. Party time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotfree Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 1320Lichtie's post isn't mental at all. Slaughtering an animal has the same end result regardless if it's hunting or killing for food. We don't need to breed as many cows etc. as we do to feed ourselves but we do. It could be argued that every animal killed for food over and above the number we need to kill strictly for us to survive is just as bad as killing an animal during a hunt. It deosn't mean I'm going to go out and shoot a dog, but I'm not exactly going to go as ridiculously over the top about this as the rest of the internet seems to have done. You, sir, deserve a 1000 greenies. Well said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbl. Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Its ridiculous that Im arguing this with you, because in the main, Im on the same side. I can't remember the last time i cooked meat, and my deid animal consumption is generally a packet of ham a week, and a kebab/munchybox at weekends. I also believe the way we treat animals is appalling, and I also believe as a society, we eat too much meat. I agree with you on all of this! However, may I ask, are we carnivores, herbovores, or omnivores? Look at our teeth! We have bitey teeth and grindy teeth. Why is that? As an animal, we eat both vegetables and meat. Now I would argue we eat too much meat, but this idea that you seem to have, that we should grind down the minimum tastless mush to survive and hate it, is almosy religious. Its like something in the bible "we eat this meat, and we hate it, for we are sinners". It makes you sound like the sort of person who would like to buy vegetarian dog food. Why should we apologise if we like the meat we eat to taste good? It doesnt have to be pleasure or nutrition, it can be both. I also can't agree that there is no difference between shooting an endangered wild animal for giggles, and shooting a pig for bacon. This sounds like a lame closinf argument, but there is a difference, there just is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
