    I don't get it, if this man paid money to the government for a permit so he could legally kill a lion, the guides took him to the reserve, they should be in trouble not him.

    This, exactly. In my area in Kansas as a teen, there were a couple county judges who declared that they would not allow deer poachers to be prosecuted. One after totaling three cars in one year. They were a real problem. And Kansas deer are nice sized, too.

    I've seen too many posts where others are accused of being a lion human.

    We have been getting into trouble ever since we started personification and humanization of animals. Bambi did not help.

    Hard cold fact: if you eat meat, you either killed it yourself or you paid someone to kill it for you. Do cannibals eat their meat without kosher bleeding?

    I have never really hunted or fished for trophies--just for putting more meat in the freezer for winter--along with the side of beef and chickens. Surely, I must love killing, but I am still in denial. We were omnivores--we also had a garden. Many lived off wild meat during the 1930's depression. A lot of species were wiped out.

    Slaying of animals has a precedent all the way back to the Garden of Eden when God killed animals to make skins to cover Adam and Eve , their having discovered their nakedness. Animal sacrifice was made by Abel. Cain, the first animal rights activist, did not. He made a bad choice. And another: killing his brother.

    We live in a narcissistic world, run by narcissistic, in many cases, despotic atheists. A lot of money is generated in third world countries by selling whatever from the carcasses of whatever animals. There is a Black Market for such things.

    The question is: Was the dentist willingly duped or blissfully ignorant?

    This may wind up in the same annals as the young lady, Amanda Knox, studying in Italy, accused of killing her room mate. She was arrested, convicted, vindicated, reconvicted--for the same crime.

    Lions are human--only if they have names.

    Curious: many seem to be more concerned about animal rights than the rights of human fetuses.

    Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

    A few weeks ago you could have walked out there and seen what pronunciation he answered to. Although, if he was hungry, you may have been eaten. :D

    Actually God created lions to eat the herbs of the earth according to Genesis. After the flood animals became meat eaters

    A "heroic fool" who enabled King John's tyranny. Is that what a lion would do, or what are you getting at?

    The pronounciation of his name depends on what part of the world you live in.

    Named for Cecil Rhodes, foremost British imperialist of the late Victorian era, founder of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe and Zambia) and an instigator of the Boer War, not to mention fabulously wealthy diamond entrepreneur and creator of the Rhodes Scholarship.

    After the Flood.

    Pre-flood and pre-fall we see,

    But the animals didn't begin to fear each other or man until after the flood. Man didn't begin to eat meat until after the flood. That is why Noah was able to bring all the animals into the ark because they had not yet began to fear man and the food Noah gathered was for the animals too.

    the verse which shows that animals didn't become meat eaters wuntil after the flood is this:

    Notice they ate what Noah ate and God didn't give meat to man for eating until he left the flood.

    Thank you, so a more British pronounciation is correct.
