PETA’s Newkirk: Lion Killers ‘Acted [Like] Isis’
Ingrid Newkirk, co-founder of PETA, reacted to the killing of Cecil the lion on my radio show Wednesday night.
COLMES: You’ve actually come out with a statement saying that he should be extradited, tried and preferably hanged.
NEWKIRK: Well you know how someone says I think that person should be taken out and shot? I don’t really mean it literally but he is a serial killer and he should stand trial. I don’t know if there’s a means to extricate him but we’re really tired of for seeing what these trophy hunters do, who come over from Europe and the U.S. and they wave a lot of money in the faces of people who, that money means a lot to them. Then they take these awful trips out into the veld or into the jungle or whatever they choose to go and blast wildlife to pieces. So he should pay something more than money, he should pay in his reputation, and I think in jail time certainly as probably the other two that were with him will.
COLMES: Well, they’ve already been as I understood arrested in Zimbabwe, he’s been NOT arrested as far as we know. So you didn’t literally mean he should be hanged?
NEWKIRK: No I mean, I think a lot of us wish that he wasn’t alive because he just seems to spend every moment of his free time going out and getting the thrill of killing and that makes you a little bit disconcerted to what kind of perversion he fancies here, what he’s doing. Why he would not have any respect for wildlife, not have any compassion for other living beings and so on. So he’s a man who is really doing more harm than good with his life, but it’s not for me to say he shouldn’t go.

You’re not helping your cause with this hyperbole. ISIS would have wiped out all the lions in the area, and then killed the hyenas for good measure. He killed a single lion for no reason except his own vanity, and that’s reprehensible enough. But that’s what we have come to expect from PETA.

you know, the rwnj’s are comparing this to abortion and ISIS, makes you wonder what this “Dr.” thinks about his trip and trophy now? and he’s the at the center of this shit storm.

He should be sent back to face any and all charges and fined……….$500,000 …he has way too much money on his hands …also banned from entering the country again….for a start

banned from entering any country or owning property or holding a job – let the scum live off of his putain gun alone in a very lonely place with very angry animals (no humans)

The only way Walter Palmer even remotely acted like ISIL is in chopping the poor lion’s head off.

The difference is that ISIL has no beef with defenseless animals. Human beings are the only species on earth that kill for sport or really stupid, illogical reasons – like religion.

Crazy talk accomplishes nothing outside of letting people know you’re crazy.

If only PETA were staffed entirely by mimes…

PETA has no room to throw shade, given they kill most of the dogs and cats turned over to them for ‘rescue’. They are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites themselves.
