       Killing pretty lions

       I find this whole deal amazing. Amongst my friends who believe
       it it is a women's choice to kill their unborn child find the
       idea that a rich dentist paid a lot of money to shoot a pretty
       lion for his trophy room. That money will support a lot of
       people over there. If he did anything illegal than arrest or
       fine him if not STFU.  Being rich buys certain privileges.  Get
       over it.

       People get upset about both issues. People do their best to fix
       things, change laws make it right.

       Yeah, the lion was pretty. I am not for that kind of hunting.

       From my inbox:
       I Will Always Remember Where I Was When Cecil The Lion Was
       Killed
       The following is an op-ed written by “Mohammed,” a Syrian War
       Refugee.
       I am sorry it is taking me so long to post my outrage over Cecil
       the Lion. My village has been without electricity for the last
       week after the Americans bombed our power plant. I had to walk
       for two days — hiding from ISIS along the way — before I found
       this Internet cafe. But my anger over the death of Cecil is
       still hot as the desert sands.
       I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard what had
       happened.
       It started off as a normal day for my town, with the Syrian Air
       Force dropping barrel bombs on several neighborhoods and a local
       school. As I dug the bodies of several women out of the rubble,
       one of the other rescue workers asked if I’d heard that Cecil
       the Lion was killed.
       I froze in shock, dropping part of what I assume was once a
       human arm on the ground. “Not Cecil the Lion!” I exclaimed. “Not
       him! Truly, is there no innocence left in this world?” I cried
       harder than when we discovered my brother was gay and ISIS
       forced us to throw him off a building.
       The rest of the day was a numb blur: watching my neighbor
       getting beheaded by Sharia enforcers, foraging for food in
       bombed-out buildings, burying my daughter after she died of
       cholera, and registering my outrage that rich Americans can fly
       anywhere in the world and kill whatever they want.
       My entire family — the ones not gassed to death — are also in
       shock. My sister was beside herself with tears from the acid
       that was flung in her face, but I am sure her tears were meant
       for poor, majestic Cecil.
       It is times like this I thank Allah that my wife was kidnapped
       into sexual slavery last year and was spared the horror of
       learning what happened to this beautiful and majestic creature.
       I often wonder what is wrong with America. You do not hear
       stories like this in Syria, partly because we already killed all
       our lions but also because we killed all our dentists.
       The hardest part was explaining to my eldest son why Cecil was
       killed. He asked if Cecil was a Kurd or a Christian, and I said
       no, sometimes people and animals are killed for totally
       unjustifiable reasons.
       I must go now. The Shabiha have surrounded the building to
       either press gang us into the Army or execute us. No matter. If
       we die, we die knowing that the infidel dentist has been
       appropriate punished on Facebook.
       Hopefully I will see Cecil in the afterlife, along with my
       grandparents who were murdered at the massacre in Hama.
       Hail Cecil!
