    "In Zimbabwe, We Don?t Cry for Lions"

    Interesting point of view.


    "We Zimbabweans are left shaking our heads, wondering why Americans care more about African animals than about African people."

    "Don?t tell us what to do with our animals when you allowed your own mountain lions to be hunted to near extinction in the eastern United States. Don?t bemoan the clear-cutting of our forests when you turned yours into concrete jungles."

    "And please, don?t offer me condolences about Cecil unless you?re also willing to offer me condolences for villagers killed or left hungry by his brethren, by political violence, or by hunger."

    ok, if they want to think we don't give a shit about the people there, then we'll stop with the $100s of millions of dollars of humanitarian donations we give them, in fact, the USA is their biggest donor by far.

      Mugabe did marvelous job of destroying Zimbabwe and evicting pretty much every hard working farmer. Close friend of mine is from Zimbabwe and lost his father to Mugabe's thugs.

        Yeah, the speed and efficiency with which they fucked up one of the most successful nations and economies on the continent was stunning for sure.

        Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.

          Maybe they should stop their tyrannical governments from taking over and the spread of that political fascist ideology disease happening over there. If someone is torn up by a lion it is usually because that lion is either rabid or it is no longer scared of people or someone is stupid enough to walk alone in the lion's territory. Our crazy people care more about what hunters do than what abortion doctors do to a baby born alive after a botched abortion (or the parts of a baby after its born it seems now)

          Yeah, I did bring that up. I stopped using facebook because of all the social networking bullshit over these crazy things going on. All of the cops getting shot and no one seems to care, but a criminal gets shot and everyone is freaking out against the cops. The girl that gets raped by thugs then thrown off a roof and no one cares, but damn some thug gets shot because he's trying to bash someone's head in the sidewalk and that said person shoots him and holy shit no one can legally protect themselves anymore in the fear of racism!

          Come on. Now lions, tigers, and bears? When is anyone ever going to gift a crap about humans who are either innocent or trying to protect themselves or others? Our media and the way the government uses it has way too much control over the feeble Mind of the People.

          Oh and foreign countries, stop bashing us for one day we might not be there to help.

                Tell them to stop hijacking shit and maybe we'll start caring. A lion has never collected a ransom. True story.

                  Your ability to make even the most mundane topic about race astounds me! You sir are a world class cunt.
                  Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

                    Yup. Let's see who cares when all the aid stops.

                    I actually read a while ago that Britain actually gives more in aid to Africa than America. Not sure how true that was though...

                      I will take it when you tell that to racemonkey as well.
                      But you won't, since you, as true double standard chasing libtard, see only one side.

                      Ps: Mugabe fucked up by chasing out white people who were doing good to their economy. Mugabe openly stated his racism towards whites. After he chased them out it turned out that they could not do the same job.

                      ^ so it is not that I made racial element in this story up.
                      It was very much there inside the topic. Contrary to what you claim.

                          you could be right re: africa as a whole, the figures i've seen were for zimbabwe specifically.

                            I imagine america had less African colonies then England

                              This is one more reason we should terminate aid packages to shithole countries like Africa, Pakistan, and the rest of them. Keep our money within our country and help our own people. Let the animals from these countries starve.
