The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Cecil the Lion....You Folks Who Want to String Up Dr. Palmer, Need to Get A Grip, Relax, and Think This Through.....

OK, I'm not a hunter. Frankly, I couldn't kill an animal. Yes, for someone who eats chicken, has a
Wow, Cecil surely was magnificent looking!
hamburger, and such...I realize that folks are killing animals so that I can eat them.

At times I've been a vegetarian. But, always, again start eating meat. I've gone through the eating only chicken and fish-went over 20 years without eating a steak. And, a few times, fish only. 

It would seem that there are two types of hunting: hunting for trophies (the way I'm using trophy is killing an animal just to put a notch on your belt or gun, have it stuffed, brag about it, and think you're a big deal because you kill animals) and hunting for food. My neighbor is a hunter. Everything he kills he eats. And, he follows the rules. Doesn't hunt out of season or use lights or what-have-you.

OK, back to the dentist and others like him. These folks must like killing animals. Or, killing. Period. Yeah, they make noises about things other than killing but it's bullshit. 

Yes, I can appreciate the stalking aspect. Trying to follow an animal...tracking it down. Actually, going out in the woods/forest or whatever you want to call it, and tracking down an animal...and, taking a PHOTO. Yes, that I can surely appreciate. Instead of a notch on your gun for killing a helpless animal you can proudly hang a photograph.

But, killing an animal that's not posing a threat? Nope, I think anyone who hunts for trophies...that is,
Yes, this is the dentist....all proud.
to kill an animal just to have it stuffed and brag about it, well...don't want to hang out with them, that's for sure. Actually, the way they pose with the dead animal with their guns or bows propped on the animals.....reminds me of The Planet of the Apes when the apes posed with the dead and captured humans.

It's amazing that anyone would want their photo taken next to an animal they just killed...yeah, they
all have big grins or smiles... Look at me, I just killed a defenseless animal, ain't I something! Yes, you're something, you're a bunch of fuck heads...

Back to Cecil. Of course I think it's dreadful he was killed...just like any other animal tracked down and killed for no reason other than to have a trophy. 

Here's the point I'm working-up to. Why aren't you folks protesting all the children who will die today because of starvation or not being able to get any medical care or not being able to get vaccinations. Or, protest all of the fuckin' religious whack jobs all over the world killing because of their perverted religions.

Dang. Isn't she proud of herself..... Critics say men trophy hunt because they have
small wieners. What's the deal with women trophy hunters?
Yeah, Cecil is a tragic event...but, look around you. Cecil is nothing compared to all of the other atrocities that are ongoing.

I'm sure these so-called trophy hunters think of themselves as brave. Brave? Want to do some good? Want a challenge...hey, track down and kill the religious fanatics who are murdering people. Or, go see your local recruiter. I'm sure they can fix you up and give you guns and such and send you out to kill......of course, you'd be shooting at people who would be shooting back at you.            
Actually, he didn't kill this animal. He wrestled him to exhaustion!



EDIT:  Maybe a just punishment for the dentist would be to drop him in lion country without a bow, gun, or any weapons. And, let him know how it feels to be hunted. No, he surely shouldn't get the death penalty over killing Cecil (contrary to what some are calling for). Also, all you protesters at his office....carry your butts. He has staff that I would imagine at the moment are not making money. Go somewhere and protest the ongoing atrocities all over the world. Actually, if the press wouldn't show you'd be home doing whatever you normally do.... Ahh, yes, the lure of a few seconds exposure on TV. You folks are morons! Pickup your stuffed animals and take them to a children's hospital.

EDIT:  This is a comment left on the ABC website. "A lion like this was used to people. It wouldn't even run away. It would just lie there looking at people like it was bored. Hunting it was about as brave as walking up and shooting a parked Volkswagen."


EDIT:  Well, here's another doctor accused of illegally killing a lion in April. What's with these doctors? Well, they have one of the few professions that allows them to cough up $50,000 plus to kill animals. His name is Jan Seski and he lives in Pennsylvania. Yes, he also uses a bow.




EDIT: F@$K A COW!!!!! Yes, there is a psychic claiming to be talking to Cecil! AMAZING! Anyway, a few minutes ago, I reached out (don't you just love that, reached out) to Cecil. He assured me he hasn't talked to this woman. Cecil assured me he's not talking to anyone other than me.  Anyway, for those of you who want to send Cecil a message...just let me know. Send me $200, that will guarantee two questions to Cecil and his response. Hey, don't go to a fake psychic. Cecil's given me an exclusive. Sadly, there are people out there who claim to be psychics and aren't. 


WARNING. This is "fake psychic" Karen Anderson who claims to be communicating with Cecil. Don't be taken in by her, she is a fake!
