39. I think it's horrible what they are doing. I'm so glad you are speaking out.

What the man did was unconscionable, but what others are doing to him now is also so wrong.

I think I am the only person in the world who actually pities the man at this point, and I am afraid to say that publicly for fear that the vitriol will be aimed at me.

It's all reached a fever-pitch that crossed a line a long time ago for me. This man's life is ruined. He could even get extradited to Zimbabwe. Can you imagine spending 10 years in prison there? His business is ruined. His life as he once knew it is completely over.

That doesn't mean I condone his actions or his...ugh..."hobby". It was disgusting and horrible.

Still, it's time to stop attacking the man and time to start attacking trophy killing. Using this momentum for the good of changing legislation would be the best IMO.
