    I know there’s a lot of hate for these mofos who go on expensive safaris to kill an endangered rhino or something.

    But as far as I understand, these arrangements often benefit conservation more than anything. Because the specific rhino is selected for culling and is destructive or not reproducing and has become a menace to the herd. And the money is used to fund the agency responsible for the conservation efforts.

    Might be bad data and I’m open to being reeducated but seems viable.

      The same logic and categorization applies to the prey in the this story as well.

    The businessman was a philanthropist and wildlife conservationist and donated a lot to protecting the land and its animals. Just got unlucky.

        Needs to use the new cover for the TPS reports. We’ll get him a copy of the memo.

      I’ve got a pride shirt I love. It’s pink, with dark pink drawing of a lion pride on the front. When you look closer, all the lions are men and some of them are making out.

      Is this too much for a straight man to wear for pride? Just kidding I’ve been wearing it for years.

      I wasn’t, but that is a fun way to organize a pride month campaign that flies under the anti-DEI radar of the fascists in charge.

    The headline is making me think about the lawyer getting eaten off the toilet by a T-Rex in Jurassic Park.

      I read the Jurassic Park book recently and was shocked to discover that the lawyer was one of the sole voices of reason. His character kept saying how irresponsible it was to have a dinosaur park, especially one open to the public, because there was so much we didn’t understand.

      I felt like the movie did him dirty having him get eaten on the shitter.

        And yet, he must have known they’re dangerous and still went on conserving them and visiting them. And pooping in their savannah, at crepuscular hunting time, alone. As if he thought his wealthy philanthropist privilege extended to lions. It’s not entertaining as if he was a hunter, but maybe more an inevitable fate story like Oedipus.
