Comments on: Mastodons, Mammoths, Smilodons, and Cecil http://listics.com/201507286531 We're beginning to notice some improvement.

Personally I hope he’s extradited, found guilty then spends the rest of his sorry assed existence in the worst prison in Zimbabwe. Well that or turned loose near Cecil’s pride, naked, no weapons or tools and smeared with fresh blood.

Helping to advance extinction and environmental degradation because he doesn’t play golf well.

There’s an interesting pattern of intersectionality among class struggle (the high income privileged dentist/great white hunter), a common respect for wildlife in an age of climate change and human population explosion that echoes the Pleistocene extinction, and an urge for justice… will the US extradite the dentist to Zimbabwe? Will Zimbabwe demand extradition? It’s a complex story-of-the-day worth reflecting on in dimensions larger than bourgeois privilege and animal cruelty. We need to bring this guy to justice and to understand why what he did was a crime. We need to lionize (sorry) Cecil, and find a measure of restorative justice for his community, his pride, his park, and the people who live in Zimbabwe.
