I guess the only right thing to do is for someone to pay a lawyer 50k for a dentist hunting permit.
Yeah I agree, those vandals are just as bad as the dentist and should be punished for their crimes. It's one thing to destroy his business by legal means (e.g. not patronizing his business anymore), but to physically destroy or do damage to his personal belongings is crossing the line.
You and other don't know the definition of what sport means.
Sport means simply and outdoor pastime activity. That's it. So hunting is a sport. Your qualifier constraints don't mean a damn thing to the application and definition of the word.
Was just going to post this. Mother fuckers! It's equally tragic that a lion that had to lose its life that wasn't even for food, but the Planned Parenthood crap is just as bad. Now some asshole shot his brother. I wonder if the cubs will be put in wildlife protection?
so what did happen to this asshat?
Zimbabwe won't press charges against Cecil the Lion's killer

Obviously. Big game hunting is good money for them.
They couldn't care less about some First World Internet Rage of the Week.
Yeah, except the tourists shooting animals with cameras bring in much more money and when the animals are gone so will the money from both the hunters and the tourists with cameras. Slow death...

BZZZTTT
Way wrong, nice self ownage.
Sport implies competition, not merely exertion, and every common definition of sport shows it. Otherwise some fat guy getting winded weeding his tomatoes would be participating in a "sport". Hunting is not a sport. Nothing is a valid sport when only one side has guns and the other side doesn't even know it's playing. Arm yourself with wolverine claws and hunt a bear, that would be a sport. Hunt snakes with your mouth, that would be a sport. But drunk assholes in tree stands blowing away Bambi are not participating in a sport. They're just assholes who get off killing things.
I think hunting should be made into an ACTUAL sport, one where the playing field is level and both sides know the rules. Men who get off on killing should grow a pair and hunt other men who are in turn hunting them. Turn it into paintball, only with real weapons. Rope off North Dakota, it's not like anyone uses it anyway. Sell hunting permits to whoever has the stones to hunt a creature that can fight back and send them all into the North Dakota arena. Any human you kill is fair game and you can tie them to the fender of your pickup and mount their head on the wall. That would make the survivors true sportsmen. Anything less they're just poseurs who have never outgrown the thrill of sticking fire crackers in a frogs mouth or burning ant hills with a magnifying glass.
lol fail. they dont care about the big picture. its who gets the juiciest bribe that matters.
sport implies anything challenging where you can build upon a skill. competition is not needed. Rock climbing is definitely a sport and so is hunting. where in the hell do you get your mental picture of hunting? "drunk assholes in a tree blasting bambi because they are sick psychopaths who enjoy killing shit? fuck me dude get over yourself.
the rest of you post is just blah blah blah im a idiot.
Not even close ... rock climbing is a sport because they compete against each other, who was the fastest etc -- so who is the hunter competing against? Hunting is NOT a sport, it's an activity that benefits from having skill, but unless you're hunting another human that knows you're hunting him hunting can't be a sport -- sport!

There are places, of course, where hunting is part of survival, but not many in the west need to hunt to survive and for many the cost of hunting is way more than it would cost to buy in a store.

Sucks that he wont be charged, but really there are lot of legal ways to do what he did, it just so happened this particular one was a grey area. Something in general needs to be done to stop this kind of poaching. It happens a lot with elephants and rhinos too. At the current rate, elephants will be extinct in 10 years. Other animals are probably in a similar boat.
What jarrs me out is that some people say the money paid for these poaching rings is to help the animals... if you really cared about the animals you would just donate the money, not go kill one.
But at least this guy's reputation is pretty much screwed so at least there's that. He might still be a rich bastard but he'll practically have to isolate himself from society, at least for a while.
