ultimately be more of a diplomatic challenge and less of a judicial challenge. jeff how important do you think it is that dr. palmer is tried somewhere, whether it s here in the united states or in zimbabwe? honestly what makes this interesting is that for the most part what he appears to have done would be legal if he had gotten the right permits and followed the laws of zimbabwe. but it brings into question this huge question. why are we killing over 400 of these animals legally every year if we know they re in peril? you can say the same thing about rhinos elephants, and species this decline like leopards and giraffes. are we going to continue letting people kill for fun animals that we know are in decline? hopefully not. it certainly brought the debate to the fore. danny cevallos and jeff flocken, thank you. as outright grows over cecil s killing, many other less famous animals are being slaughtered by poachers in africa.
question, are you comfortable with the prospect of cory nalton posing next to the dead black rhino with a big grin on his face and his weapon of choice to kill it? and then posting that on social media? are you comfortable with that? i am. he s the one paying the bill. and this is a way of memorialalizing the experience. it will help refresh the memory about the whole experience. okay, jeff flocken, in terms of the validity of a hunter s right to hunt the black rhino, particularly the elderly black rhino who no longer have a breeding use, and who would perhaps be culled anyway certainly seems to be the suggestion and it s not being disputed. what is actually wrong in having it hunted in this particular way, compared to any other way? this is the case of a critically endangered species being hunted for trophy.
