[Gala]

After i year i log in onto Facebook - and still the same shit! Dumb girls, asses, boobs and duckfaces EVERYWHERE! And ofcourse the dumb shit that is trending (#StopYulin2014, #StopYulin2015, #CecilTheLion...WTF)

[TheGeeker]

A hunter was hunting. And he had a gun. And he saw a lion. But since he was a hunter he shot the Lion that was internet famous. All the hunter wanted was a lion for his home. 

 

As for the boobs, asses and dumb girls? Its the internet and facebook. Anymore I can say? Have you seen #disarmtheiphone you will be even more pissed

People care about animals more than other people. If only we all cared for each other as much...

It's facebook, I wouldn't be surprised if it stopped after 2 weeks.

Most people there are just dumb attention whore chicks and boy toys.

But there are still normal people who use it wisely and don't post random shiet like check-in's in W/C's or something like that.

A dentist from murica used cars to get a famous lion, Cecil, out of a wildlife reserve and then killed it with a bow and arrow, he got what he deserved and now is nowhere to find, hope they cut off his balls, but thats another topic

He he lured it out of a wildlife reserve, he wasn't just hunting.

What does this have to do with anything? His life wasn't in danger in anyway.

[TheGeeker]

Isnt that how you hunt? You put in effort to get animals to you? The lion came out. I personally dont see anything wrong. @EarthboundHero

To be fair humans aren't an endangered species, far, far from it. Cecil and his kin are. If we bugger up an ecosystem by wiping out a species that fulfils a role that no other species does, for example apex predator, it is nigh on impossible to correct the mistake.

One of the reasons it is a problem is that the lion was a huge tourist attraction. I can't remember exact values, but cecil made the same amount from tourists every four days as the amount the body could sell for. Also, you aren't allowed to lure animals off wildlife reserves, especially to kill them.

Didn't really care after. 

 

Unless it directly affects me, I couldn't care less.

 

This model applies to just about everything.

Anything but that

Sum it up for you. Rich dentist likes hunting. Hunts animals gets bored with bears and deers. Steps up game and goes to Africa. Pays people to lure a very famous lion out of it's protected land. Kills it. Only takes the head to mount and leaves the rest to rot. Animal lovers well I guess others too protest. He shuts down his business. Realizes his mistake. Gets death threats. People searching for him. People find he killed other animals without permits. People get more mad. There is a lion in Milwaukee 

[Remilia]

Why is your feed like that? Didn't you block out the messages of people that says shit you don't care about?

 

Like 90% of my feed consists of posts from pages I've liked, that's at least something good about Facebook.

[warmmilk]

So what's this lion famous for? As far as Google knows, it's for getting killed by this dentist...

Lets sum it up:

The lion is famous for being killed by the dentist who is famous for killing the lion.

Not even correct.

Nope. No permit was given for said Lion.

One of the researchers on the project suggested that Cecil had become so popular because he was accustomed to people, allowing vehicles sometimes as close as 10 metres (33 ft), making it easy for tourists and researchers to photograph and observe him. He was well known for his black-fringed mane and a GPS tracking collar. He was being studied by Oxford University. Cecil was also kicked out of his pride but then he started his own coalition with another male lion called Jericho and they created a pride.

 

Zimbabwean government officials stated that the killing of Cecil had already caused a drop in tourism revenues. A significant drop was noted in Hwange, where the lion had lived. Many international tourists, who had planned to see the lion, had cancelled their trips. "This killing is a huge loss to our tourism sector that was contributing immensely to the national wealth", said Emanuel Fundira, the president of the Safari Operators Association of Zimbabwe. Head of the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority, Karikoga Kaseke, said that tourism was booming, but that Zimbabwe was now perceived as a country which was not interested in protecting and promoting animal rights, and this had also had a negative impact on the tourism sector.

 

Bryan Orford, a professional wildlife guide who worked in Hwange, calculates that with tourists from a single nearby lodge collectively paying U.S. $9,800 per day, the revenue generated by having Cecil's photograph taken over five days would have been greater than someone paying a one-off fee of U.S. $45,000 to hunt and kill the lion, with no hope of future revenue.
