In reply to the discussion: A nice woman just posted this sign on the door of Cecil The Lion's killer - WalterPalmer. [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)103. And Cecil was known to be people friendly. Never knew what was coming from this depraved man. What
went through his mind, for he had one to be sure, other than the pain as he suffered in agony?
This dentist also had to pay a settlement for sexual harrassment and was very big on entertaining with blood SPORT, not what he needed to eat.
I remember a scene from a movie, may be all fictional, but when some amerindians took down a deer, they begged his pardon as they did so.
This man is a poster for what will destroy all of us and led me to the conclusion - even though I was close - that the human race is not worthy to live on his planet anymore. As some amerindians and others have said - they will kill everything alive, until they kill themselves as well.
There is still time to reverse this course, but I don't see it happening. I see what Trump did in Scotland. I've seen what clear cutting does. I know what the mining companies are doing around the world. And what devastation to people, animals and all vegetation is done while forsest are destroyed in a wasteful matter to mine one product, like palm oil or copper or coal.
As the Pope said, greed is now destroying the ability of the planet to sustain life. The tribes know this. They have warned us. But people did not listen.
A reading of the writings of Derrick Jensen is chilling. or those of Jared Diamond even if disputed. And still we have the same mentality in Congress, with a Senator tossing a snowball. And before that another one apologizing to BP for the Gulf oil explosion, having unleashed the pressure that held down the oil into an almost volcanic eruption.
I felt at that time, Mother Earth said, 'You want the oil that bad? Here it is. All of it. Drink this cup you sought to have. It will kill you all, but I grant your wish.'
I saw about rescuers who had gone out into the Gulf to save some of the wildlife. Men who had plied those waters for decades. Some of them, after coming back and seeing the animals dying, came back and committed suicide.
Mankind is committing suicide.

If you think it's "bizarre and sophomoric," you did not read my post. Maybe you misunderstood?

And yet you haven't stated why. I'm not sure what the point of this is, then.

Calling someone a coward is no where near as bad as killing an animal for thrills.

When they torture him for 40 hours before murdering him, then they are "just as bad."
