(sigh). . . humans.
Christ, what an asshole.
Seriously, fuck that guy. And fuck the entire âbusinessâ that profits from this shit.
Would it count as murder if someone devised a way to lure Palmer into a den of hungry lions?
While I support properly sanctioned hunts that are monitored by the game reservations for population control, it looks to me he used a pretty sneaky, underhanded and I assume illegal method.
Its not murder. Its nature. Lions will use every part of the dentist. Thats what makes it OK.
I killed a bird with a BB gun when I was 13. My friends were really good shots and I was jealous. When I finally got one, the elation lasted about two seconds. And then I decided I really hated that feeling. I freaking love guns, but have never â will never â go hunting again.
(Iâm for hunting for other people, mind you, but deal me out).
More American exceptionalism.
I killed a bird with a BB gun when I was 13 also. Must be a rite of passage thing or something. I buried the bird and the gun in the same hole.
Roger That!

One of the most tragic things about this is that it will most likely increase his business. There are other sociopaths, like him, who have a bloodlust that cannot be slaked in ordinary ways, and they will see the reaction he has gotten from people who still retain their souls, and they will be drawn to him. Whatâs the collective term for a group of sociopaths? Iâm going to suggest Dickbag. Heâs going to attract a whole Dickbag of Sociopaths to him. Heck, Scott Walker lives one state over, he may have to travel to get his teeth done by this massive egomaniac prick.
I try to remember Jon Ronsonâs thing about public shaming in dogpiles like this, but itâs hard to understand the perspective of a wealthy dentist (?!) who flies to Africa for some white man safari fantasy (?!) and kills a lion for sport.
Thereâs at leastâŚseven things wrong with that picture.
The sadists I play with will respect our negotiated boundaries and my safe word. Also, I have to give money to my dentist.
The question here is the extent to which he knew this hunt wasnât properly sanctioned. If he knew exactly what was happening he should do jail time, but if he was skilfully conned I donât see him as any different than any other big game hunter.
Either way Iâm reserving judgement as these Internet outrages very often turn out to be fundamentally wrong.
I canât remember a time when this seemed more appropriate.
A giant asshole who should be shamed by his community and all thinking people? Thatâs how I think of ALL âBig Game Huntersâ from Minnesota.
Apparently, he is claiming that he was misled by his guides about the legality of the hunt.
American dentist regrets killing Cecil the lion, blames local guides
I wouldnât be shocked if this were true, but a) that lion was collared & the hunting party tried to conceal it & b) I fail to understand how big game hunting for âtrophiesâ is ever okay.
