Tue, 19:13: To people crying over a lion: Yes, it's sad. How many pigs, chickens and cows have you eaten this year? Rein it in with a little perspective
Such a can of worms. I have a client who goes on hunts exactly like that. Has a polar bear, a grizzly, an elephant, a lion, a cheetah, etc., etc., etc. all mounted in his home. The whole feel about it is just gross. I love a steak, but I don't mount the cow's head on my wall, either.
Yeah, I'm not getting into it. I'm not NEARLY as upset as a lot of people. My general reaction is: Oh look, that guy's a huge douchebag. I have trouble quantifying what I find so distasteful, but I don't like trophy mounted fishes/deer either (and find people posing with them to be gross), and I have no problem with killing (other people) or eating (me) them. It defies the Scandinavian call to humbleness. It's just so...arrogant and pointless, the trophy hunting.
On fb I wanted to write, "Local dentist eats Cecil the chicken; no one gives a fuck." But I was kind to my fb friends today, don't know why. Still, from my understanding they did a shitty thing. But most of us are living in a glass house where this is concerned.

This said, while there are lots of good reasons to not eat animals, none of those are endangered.

If there's one message I've taken away from all the press on this issue, it's that dentists clearly make too much money.
