Cecil the Lion. (The real truth.)

           I like animals, but not so much that I am a vegetarian. I eat meat, not much, but the bottom line is that defines where I stand, as it does all meat eaters. Although I am disgusted at the "big game hunter Dentist", and I am not sorry that it has coat him his practice, I an not screaming for his blood. It is a sad reflection that so many are. Folks who don't bat an eyelid at baby-butchering, would like to see the Dentist ' hanged, drawn and quartered'. (look it up of you are not quite sure what that means). What self-righteous hypocrites we can be!  If you eat Kentucky Fried Chicken, Swiss Chalet or enjoy other meat preparations, you are only superior to the dentist in that you get someone else to do the kill for you, and after appropriate disguise, you eat it instead of mounting it in your den. Time to recognize ourselves for what we really are and not assuage our guilt by screaming for the blood of the Dentist!   If the animal is 'cute' and cuddly, folks will go to extremes to protect it.  If it is not, we allow unspeakable cruelties to be perpetrated, such as chicken crated in a space where they cannot move and pigs  in cells where there is not enough space for them to turn around.  Time to recognize ourselves for what we really are and not assuage our guilt by screaming for the blood of the Dentist.
           So if we really care, lets start by focusing on the perpetrators who organize these African trips. Those who plan, encourage and facilitate these trips for a vast profit and their governments who profit by allowing such activities.  Without them the pseudo-safaris would be impossible.
