Probably not, since that lion brought in a ton of tourism money. Unless you think it's literally only the rest of the world that gives a poo poo about this dude poaching that particular lion, and not the residents and government of Zimbabwe.

So a non-famous lion would be less of an issue?

Zimbawbwe could just make it illegal to hunt lions in the country but they don't because its insanely profitable. The Parks are just the areas where lions can't be hunted and as we see it's insanely easy to lure a lion out of the preserve and kill it legally according to the letter or the law. Either make poaching a serious crime or accept that you can't ensure the safety of the animals even on preserves.

What happened to that used car dealership that berated the pizza guy because they gave him the wrong amount of money and he thought it was a tip.

They wanted him fired and the used car guys uploaded the video to Youtube thinking that they were in the right but it was obvious they were total douchebags.

The argument with the rhino is that it was old and beyond breeding years, and black rhinos have a high "combat mortality rate." So a non-breeding and soon-to-be-dead-anyway rhino that could potentially kill breeding-age rhinos was actually a hindrance to the recovery of the species.

That's the argument anyway. I'm not a rhino scientist.

Nothing happened to them, business is doing fine. Actually they just got in trouble for threatening to kill a female customer for trying to get her money back on a defective car. Because everyone on the internet who is mad forgets within 3 days.

What about that older lady who was volunteering on a school bus and the kids on the bus were vulgar and rude to her and threatened her? There was a kickstarter to give her money for a vacation that ended at over a half million dollars for her, did she take the money?

It's good that people are outraged enough that this makes CNN headlines, hopefully that means someone, somewhere has to budge. Also methinks the dentist's huntin' days are done, and it feels me with joy.

And that plushy memorial was the nicest thing I've seen on facebook today, so there's that

can't care about something you don't know about, and people certainly aren't going to go out of their way to get informed. if some problem pops up on their newsfeed, then that's the problem they know and care about.

Uh, yeah, we never would have heard about it if this douche hadn't decided to spend $50k to lure a really famous and beloved lion that was a member of a protected species out of its preserve and kill it. I accept that there are always going to be rich assholes who think that it's fun to shoot wild animals because it makes them feel manly, but this guy is unequivocally a poacher on top of just an rear end in a top hat.

There are hundreds of assholes exactly like this piece of poo poo. Just watch any documentary on canned lion hunting. Declawed lions barbiturated to the eyeballs in an enclosure half the size of a football pitch get a high calibre round to the body so they can spend the last minutes of their life bleeding out. You don't want to damage the trophy after all. This guy is genuinely just unlucky that he shot the wrong lion.
