And when lions/bears/wolves have the gall to hunt/kill/eat us, we get all butthurt about it.

I did.  I think you're overanalyzing.

Humans are hypocritical, narcissistic gits.

Change is bad. Film at 11.

I think you might mean "full video stream available now"

Speaking of which, this part I hate - there is less and less written online content and more some films showing people talking. :P

Yeah. It really annoys me.
I read way faster than people can talk.
I feel like im wasting my time when I watch a video instead of reading an article.

QuoteFollowing the death of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe, many governments are beginning to question the ethics and fallout of trophy hunting as a sport, while others say the arguments against it are overblown. The Onion breaks down the pros and cons of big-game hunting:

PRO

Gives animal kingdom stern reminder about who's top dog
Get to be one of very few people to experience raw, primal exhilaration of being reviled by tens of millions of people
Lot of empty wall space in apartment
Killing fun
Chance of being killed by lion drastically reduced once they are extinct
Part of time-honored tradition that dates all the way back to humankind's earliest assholes
CON

Shoulder pain from recoil of elephant gun
Already hard enough for female lions to find decent mate
Taxidermists often get eyes wrong
Bizarre sexual gratification of murdering large game can only satisfy for so long before you must turn to humans
Lion's next of kin only get small portion of hunting fee
When people ask "Do you shoot defenseless animals with metal arrows, wait until they bleed out, and then stuff their remains for decoration?" the answer is "Yes"

I like how people are getting particularly outraged that the lion was *decapitated* after it was shot & killed.  Like OMG that's so much worse!

Well, I guess it's like fucking a human corpse - no point getting worked over what one does to dead matter, I guess.

You do realize that all trophies have be decapitated soon after they've been deadened, right?

Whatever floats your boat, man.

Disagree.  I don't want necrophiliacs to tell me what other things are "like" their particular perversion.  I don't really care about necrophilia, but necrophiliacs are just too creepy.  Especially ones that can fuck human corpses without "getting worked."

Why do you hate your own kind so much?

I've seen more outrage over one damn lion getting shot by accident than over the 200,000 dead in Syria killed deliberately. White people get upset over the strangest things.

Oh for godsake. Yes I do care about things other than human beings dying every once in a while. There are important things in the world besides people dying and it is neither strange nor monstrous to have interests and concerns outside of people dying.

Even non-white people sometimes care about things besides the fact that somewhere somebody is dying. Or at least my one black friend seems to.

Some people live particularly sheltered existences.
