So how much longer do we all care about this dead lion? Seems like we're about due for a return to our default position of "not caring about Africa or anyone in it".

According to facebook we will care however long it takes for us to ignore the wholesale slaughter of babies for parts by planned parenthood.

Well the difference here is that the poacher is racking his kill on his wall.

PP actually sells chopped up baby parts of distinct organs (brains, hearts, lungs). But, nah... what's the outrage in that? They're just blobs-o-cells...right?

Indiana clears Planned Parenthood of wrongdoing after videos

Just because you are legally cleared doesn't mean what you are doing isn't wrong.

Just because you can post something wildly OT for the purpose of starting an argument doesn't mean you should.

Yes it does.

Legal/Illegal =/= right/wrong

Hunting isn't a crime.

Depends entirely where and what one hunts.


If, for example, one hunts a Lion that is supposed to be protected then that could well be a crime.

That's not hunting, that's poaching. Hunting is not a crime. Poaching is.

Thankfully a Cop didn't shoot the lion... People here are nuts already

Ahh, you have to love government effciency. It took them two weeks to clear PP of wrong-doing, in a state where PP doesn't perform any abortion. You have to love the witch-hunt purely for the sake of political showmanship, and not for any actual real world happening .

I thought the media was focussing on the lion so people stopped caring about the Police lead genocide on black Americans?

I remember an article the BBC did a couple of weeks after the London riots, where various talking heads all "proved" how it all tied into whatever their wildly different pet social theories were. It always comes to mind at these sorts of times.
