We all know Betty White as a beloved Hollywood icon, but shes also a staunch animal lovershe even convinced the producers of Golden Girls to feature pets on several episodes.
So, the veteran actress is even more pissed off than we are at Walter Palmer, the Minnesota dentist who heartlessly slaughtered Cecil the Lion near Zimbabwes Hwange National Park
You dont want to hear some of the things I want to do to that man, White, who sits on the Board of Trustees of the Los Angeles Zoo, told the AP. Its such a heartbreaker. You cant even talk about it, and to see this king of the jungle and personifying it in every way, this gorgeous creature. How can somebody do that?
Wow, we almost feel sorry for Walker. (Almost.) You do not want to cross Betty White.

(13,661 posts)trophy hunting.
It just makes me so sad and heartsick that this man, and other humans, actually think that trophy hunting is acceptable and "fun". In the dentist's statements, he states over and over that this is something he "loves" to do.
It is a barbaric practice and must be stopped. The desire to trophy hunt is proof of a demented and mentally ill mind, and the people who practice it should receive mandatory mental health care.
If Cecil's death is to have any meaning, it should be toward eradicating trophy hunting for the crime it is, or toward some other effective animal preservation and conservation efforts.

Grotesque, in any case.

(11,441 posts)If it were Cecil, you'd really be sick. Headless and skinned, with his carcass left to rot. The killing is bad enough, but what these trophy fuckers do afterwards -- to Cecil or any animal -- is nauseating.

(11,441 posts)I generally don't put too much stock in celebrity opinions, but there were some really poignant tweets over this. Ricky Gervais, in particular. And MC Hammer nailed it:
And Judd Apatow:

(24,745 posts)a POACHER is still a POACHER.
There are only four white rhinos left on this planet---------four-----------that's it
Lions somewhere over 60,000 to 75,000--------and then there gone
Four elephants were murdered last week just to get 419 lbs. of ivory
Salmon by the thousands are dying off because the Columbia river is to hot-------climate change---------
Tuna---------------is being sold in Japan at thousands of dollars
Sharks -------------------gotta have that shark fin soup----------no thank you
And this species called the human race has wiped out the passenger pigeon, and may other species
A POACHER is a POACHER
And when I heard the remarks on the proverbial MSNBC Cycle yesterday on this Lion issue it almost made me throw-----up
Betty you ROCK:

(20,233 posts)They are a subspecies. There are still 15 to 20K Southern White Rhinos. They're actually the rhino species that's not endangered.
But I don't approve of any trophy hunting, endangered or not.

(10,597 posts)... Betty White extradite his worthless sorry ass back to Zimbabwe. I hope that POS-SOB had a good time, because he has no professional practice left in this country. He'll have to have his name changed, a face-lift, and move to another country if he ever wants to be a dentist again. Gawd... the sociopath's among us.
