What bothers me about this guy though is that he has never changed. It also bothers me about lots of men in that they don't alter as they become older. Where is the 'wisdom' that comes with age with many? I'm a totally different person now compared to how I was but these guys? Some only change when challenged and made to back down. I tell you lots of men are abhorrent arrogant creatures that need to be humbled before they see the light.

i must have missed the same wailing and tearing of garments when 'Albert' the perch was snared on a viciously barbed hook, scaled and disembowelled while still alive; all in the name of sport.or is it just that he is not furry and cute?

Re: Walter Palmer (the killing of Cecil the lion)
I just cannot understand how anyone can deliberately kill an animal, bird, insect for pleasure. I can, however understand a person killing another person in the heat of the moment but that would not, of course be for pleasure.I cannot kill any living creature and go to great lengths to liberate any insects who have mistakenly found their way into my house. I also liberate any slugs and snails that I find in my garden.
