This is what we've become? He who has the biggest public emotional reaction wins??
Not to mention the witch hunt that is now in hot pursuit.
Jimmy Kimmel... Jackass.

    Another animal would have killed and eaten him first probably. $55,000.00 right out the window.

    You had a thinking brain you would have to admit that religion is the opposite of freedom. It imposes a host of sacrifices and duties wrapped in unearned guilt. So does islam.
    We don't play the my god is better than your god game in here.
    (All men aren't created equal either...that was an unfortunate string of words).
    I have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness because I EXIST.
    You have some reading to do.

    you mixed up quite a stew there OA. this was an OLD cat. eventually, starvation would be his fate. when is the good day to die? don't knowbut I've watched enough movies to know how to remove an arrow. ain't pretty. Baiting is something I don't really get, but has been done from the dawn of time. It is our prerogative. PROPERTY RIGHTS. You own Cecil so you get to set the terms. If you are a Michael Vic (vick) I don't know the spelling-your life will be shamed socially. this wasn't Michael vic -do you think?

    Look at Islamic theocracies (or dominated by Islam) and compare level of liberty/freedom to Western cultures... notice the difference.

    Muslims in Israel have greater rights that they do in any muslim country. Judeo-Christian founding principles (and morality found therein) are the foundational basis for freedom/liberty-- that all men are created equal and have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

    I think it's crazy that you assume we don't know our history. Pompous you are.
    I knew you would start with the religious stuff...and you did. Check the times of my comments, I accurately predicted it. So, I was 'FACTUALLY ACCURATE'. Want another fact? Our founders were NOT ruled by religion.

    Indeed. You would think someone killed their family kitty cat by slow purposeful torture just for fun. In the wild generations of natives have had to kill these cats for their own survival, just as north Americans have had to kill mountain lions, bears and wolves. Now, many will argue this man did not need to. But, is that relevant? Everyone on the planet survives and lives their lives as a part of the food chain and many animals must be killed for the necessities of our own existence. The hunting of these animals provides incomes and sustenance for many in the area. It is always easy to criticize when others are doing the dirty work for you, while you order your cheeseburger at McDonalds.

    Aaaaaand, there you go again demonstrating your ignorance of not only America's founding but of Western Civilization.

    Before making such factually inaccurate arguments, you would be well-served to actually study the Founding Fathers and rise of Western Civilization.

    You clearly have not actually read the writings of the Founding Fathers, nor do you have an accurate understanding of the founding principles of America.

    I highly recommend you study both before again making such an factually inaccurate argument.

    Gary, I've gone a few rounds with AG; and in my experience, he loves to pound his "Judeo-Christian" compass and tell you what you don't know about freedom and liberty. His interest in Objectivist philosophy seems tangential, at best; and I doubt anyone here has influenced his views.
