That wonderful piece is actually one that’s been doing the rounds since May 2000 (it was even quoted on The West Wing!), and was written by a guy named Kent Ashcraft. It’s the perfect response to so much garbage that some religious conservatives spew, isn’t it?

Funny you should mention ... I saw this on Gavin Newsom’s Instagram this morning.

Okay, but the god question gets answered rather quickly, doesn’t it? I knew the God thing was bullshit in 4th grade.

Or the belief that her “slate is wiped clean” because she converted.

Yeah. So it’s all about the money. So I guess if Bill Cosby pays to rape women, and that money goes to fund rape crisis centers, that makes it all okay?

It’s come out that this is the second time he has used the story that he was mislead by his guides. The first time is when they lured a black bear from a reserve so he could kill it. It happened about 6 years ago.

Also, this guy spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on this trip. You don’t think he would have done any…

... while the logic is pretty sad when it comes to how money flows to conservation (or nature in general) - this article is pretty spot on. Hopefully all the people who comment on this article actually read it (which I think is unlikely) and understand the points you’re trying to make.

What next, you justify hunting live humans because, sure, a person is dead, illegally, but the person who hunted them paid $1,000,000 to do it into an economy that wouldn’t have that money if they hadn’t gone hunting for humans?

It isn’t trophy hunting if you’re illegally luring animals out of their protected…

Look at all the pictures all over twitter of these assholes murdering endangered big cats and elephants and worse. Sorry, no. Fuck them. And fuck you for defending them. There are other ways that don't involve the senseless murder of endangered animals by people whose dicks are too fucking small. Seriously. Every one…

Which is to say, this is fucking awful. Even on the terms of some coldly rational trophy-hunting-is-good-for-the-economies-of-poor-African-nations bullshit, this is a disaster. Cecil was a source of steady income for the local tourism industry, as tourists paid to stay in the nearby lodge and hired guides to find him…

Oh, fuck you for trying to defend this sociopathic asshole, or trophy-hunting for that matter, in any way.

Boy — we’re a weird species.

I cant stand Piers Morgan

I don't want shitty fios, I want 1000 up 1000 down. Like I have in both my other homes in other countries. For cheaper.

I love that they're trying to pretend like ivory bans are widespread attacks on gun owners, when really, it only affects wealthier assholes with ivory handled antiques or garishly embellished pieces. Basically, this guy:

Anyone who would kill an elephant for 'sport' needs the absolute shit beaten out of them.

Well ... he doesn't strike me as all there.

Kinda reminds me of the Tiger dude and the Russian Barbie.....Welp, I rather just have a metal exoskeleton with lasers thank you very much.

This is disturbing. "Marvel idol" not withstanding, this is like having yourself surgically altered to look like Hitler. What kind of psychological test finds a positive in permanently looking like a Nazi murderer unless you are taking part in a Big Questions segment on holocaust denial?
