Well I guess that it did not take long for him to get

[avebury]

over being upset for his screwup. Thomas Roberts reported on his MSNBC show a short while ago that, Walter Palmer talked to his guides about shooting an elephant the next day. This guy is totally without morals. He so needs to be extradited back to Zimbabwe, tried and sentenced to the maximum term in one of their prisons.

1. Yup. Send him back for trial in Zimbabwe.

If convicted, it might send a message to other would be sociopathic trophy hunter that it might not be a good idea.

2. I doubt I will ever understand the motivation behind. ...

Sport hunting.

If it is the thrill of killingredients something larger/more powerful than you ... how about doing it where there is some risk to you?

How about going after the lion with a knife?

3. I consider the term "sport hunting" to be an oxymoron.

Especially when done the way he did it. "Hunters" hunt for food, and have been doing it for millenia, as evidenced by its glorification on cave walls. And yes, hunters have been doing it with weapons since weapons were devised. Cave paintings bear that out.

What this scumbag did is called thrill-killing, plain and simple.

I wish people would stop calling him a "hunter". He ain't one.

4. In South Africa, they have a practice called "necklessing".

If you don't know what it is, see here:

That would be too good for this guy.
Karma would have him killed by a baby elephant who sat on his head and farted him to death.
