The mainstream media in America, along with social media is all excited about the Minnesota dentist who shot some lion in Zimbabwe as part of a big game hunt.

Meanwhile, they ignore the threats to American from illegal alien criminals that continue to pour into America, committing hundreds of thousands – if not millions – of crimes, victimizing Americans left and right.

Yes, a dentist shot a lion in Africa that was a local favorite while on a guided hunt.

Disregard for a moment that hunting tourism is one of the top sources of foreign currency for that third-world nation in the south of Africa, and that big game hunting feeds a great many of the impoverished subjects living there.

Ignore that it’s in the financial, moral and ethical best interests of the nation and the local landowners to exercise proper wildlife management techniques to ensure healthy populations of game animals so that wealthy big game hunters will return with their wallets filled with tens of thousands of American dollars for the chance of a lifetime to take a big game animal – especial dangerous wild game animals.

It’s worth noting that one American big game hunter who recently spoke at Guns Save Life noted their was a Zimbabwean government wildlife agent (really a tax collector of sorts) in their group, armed with an AK-47.  It’s part of the regulations for hunting in that nation, and the wildlife agent notes the animals that were shot by the hunter.  A fee is charged for each animal harvested and those fees can be quite steep – over $20,000 per animal, in fact.  That’s just the government’s take.  Then there’s the professional hunter fees, travel expenses, etc.   Here’s the catch:  they go by a “you break it, you buy it” policy.  Even if the animal you shot at gets away, you’re on the hook for the fee.

So while some in America are all excited about this lion getting shot, let’s have a look at what’s really happening in America.

Let’s start with Texas.

Illegal Alien Crime Wave in Texas: 611,234 Crimes, 2,993 Murders

(PJ Media) – The murder of Kathryn Steinle on the Embarcadero in San Francisco by an illegal alien is the most familiar example of a crime committed by an alien.  But an unreleased internal report by the Texas Department of Public Safety reveals that aliens have been involved in thousands of crimes in Texas alone, including nearly 3,000 homicides.

PJ Media obtained a never-before-released copy of a Texas DPS report on human smuggling containing the numbers of crimes committed by aliens in Texas.   According to the analysis conducted by the Texas Department of Public Safety, foreign aliens committed 611,234 unique crimes in Texas from 2008 to 2014, including thousands of homicides and sexual assaults.

We would ask where the American outrage over the crimes committed by illegal aliens, but we know that the low-information crowd is more excited to hear about lions killed than real threats to their families’ safety.

Is it any wonder why the non-low-information crowd is arming up?  There is a virtual invasion of this country by illegal aliens from all across Central America and the Obama administration is not only acting to stop it, they are encouraging it.  This doesn’t even take into account the OTMs coming across the border – the “Other Than Mexicans” potential terrorists from the Middle East.

Meanwhile, the mainstream media distracts a great many Americans with stories about a lion getting shot.

  1. Bread and circuses, people, bread and circuses. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

    It’s almost over. THe death of this once-great nation is palpable; it’s in the air tonight.

    Are you ready? Are you?

    Be prepared!

  2. My wife was all upset over that lion thing for about two minutes.

    I was like, “Eh? Someone killed the Lion King? Oh well. That’s nature.”

  3. Unfortunately, this will have to be my last year as a GSL member. You guys do some some good work. And your points about crime in America are generally valid. But if you can’t see the evil behind this particular lion killing , then our views of right and wrong just don’t coincide.

    1. Where is the outrage of planned de-parenthood harvesting and ILLEGALLY selling human body parts? ..nuttin to see here mooove along.

    2. I think you missed the point of the whole article.
      No one said the lion killing was really a good thing.
      The point is, we as a country have many things that are considerably more serious than a lion or a cow or a dog.
      With all the corruption, political correctness, total lack of morals and integrity, anti-crime but pro-criminal attitude and total disregard for life, this country is in bad trouble.
      When people can get upset about a flag, a lion, a veteran flying the U.S. flag and a list of “distractions” rather than Illegal immigrants, Islamic terrorism, gang violence as well as the continued attacking of the 2nd Amendment, America cannot last much longer.

    3. William,
      As someone else stated, I think you missed the point of the article. No one is condoning the killing of this beloved lion. The facts are that this type of hunting is big money for Africa. The dentist paid his fee, his profession hunter and guides produced a lion and said lion was killed. I’m not saying it was right, but those are the facts. As we have heard at a couple of recent GSL meetings with the main speakers being people who have recently went on this type big game hunts, you rely on your guides, and professional hunters for guidance in a foreign land. And as told, if you wound it you buy it. Did the dentist seek out this particular lion? I don’t think so.

      Meanwhile, a 7 year old little girl is raped and strangled in California and the killer “helped” find her when she was reported missing. He was her 15 year old neighbor!!!!!!!!! Where is the outrage about this? Why was this not on the news?

      I don’t want to badger, but GSL is more than just this story.

  4. Mr. Andrew:

    I have no way of knowing if you’re really a member or just saying that to increase the attention paid to your comment.

    I’ll assume you’re a man of your word.

    However, if you’re dropping your membership in a gun rights group because we (as I’m a member) aren’t righteously indignant and dropping everything we’re doing to join the lynch mob calling for this dentist guy’s scalp, then maybe you are due for some introspection on what’s really important in your life.

    Are legitimate threats to your family somehow less relevant because you’re “distracted” by this lion killing sideshow?

    My reading of this is John, and by extension the organization, is deeply concerned that Americans sitting on the couch are being fed irrelevant stories by our pop culture to keep our attention away from ****real**** problems we face as individuals and our nation faces as a whole.

    I hope you’ll see the folly in your earlier statement and attitudes and reconsider.

    Failing that, you might be part of the problem, not the solution.

  5. Mr. Andrew is indeed a member in good standing of Guns Save Life.

    Mr. Andrew: I’m sorry you feel this way.

    We can debate debate the level of evil in the killing of this wild animal, but doing so would be like arguing over the order of deck chairs on the crippled Titanic, instead of taking meaningful action to save the ship and our families onboard.

    Frankly, I’m appalled over the evil of Planned Parenthood killing babies then trafficking their organs. Some seem to think that compared to a wild animal getting killed, this is nothing to be worried about. I haven’t blogged on it as we’re a firearms rights site.

    I hope you’re older, wiser and more engaged than to let a story of a dead lion distract you from fighting for your civil rights and your families’ safety.

    John

  6. New information indicates that the group did not have a valid hunting license. Not a legal hunt, not benefiting the locals, just straight up poaching.

    Poaching isn’t a new hobby for this dentist. In 2008 he was cited for poaching a black bear 40 miles outside of the designated hunting zone.

    I’m generally uncomfortable with trophy hunting, but if it’s done legally then so be it. Poaching on the other hand is not cool. This guy’s actions are indefensible.
