POLL: Should the lion-murdering dentist be extradited to Zimbabwe to face trial?

Heck no. Countries run by dictators have no claim on anything.

From what I read, the tag was legally issued, the hunt

You and I must be reading different things. Did that come from the dentist's

Everything I've read says that either the dentist is an idiot or he knew he was

If he paid $60k for a legal hunt, how is he supposed to know if it is illegal?

Doesn't matter. He bears ultimate responsibility for his actions being legal or

I'm not talking about a preparer. I'm talking about someone giving you advice

I'm more referring to this line from your link, which also in one form

That doesn't seem analogous to this situation. The dentist didn't hire the

Guides are there to lead the excursion

Then your analogy may be more appropriate. Again having no knowledge

Haha. Analogy fail

I wasn't intending a tax preparer and that's my fault.

The tag WAS legally issued, the hunt WAS legally set up

It gets a little dicey in some of these areas

Why?

Big cats are always "lured" in. Thats the way you hunt them.

PhilPete

Not illegal to bait animals in Zimbabwe.

This was also reported today on CNN. Plus a new fact, it is not illegal to

The real reason for extradition is he'll bring a throng of media with him

Fine him for what? If we allow extradiction based on retroactive laws then we

uh, the lion was baited out of the refuge with food by the guides ...

El Joffrey

7/31/15 11:37am

Which is why the guides are being prosecuted

workindev

7/31/15 11:40am

True but if he, the hunter, was aware of the illegallity as well (we don't know)

UneducatedFan

7/31/15 12:03pm

Agreed that he is accountable if he knew about it, but I don't think they need

I'm not up to date on the latest so you may be right.

I thought the prosecution resulted form the land owner, on whose land it was

Is that wrong? Illegal? Unethical?

mango

7/31/15 11:47am

when you are trying to move it from a reserve where you can't hunt....

El Joffrey

7/31/15 11:49am

See my response above...

mango

7/31/15 12:01pm

It was illegal to shoot the animal whether or not it was on the refuge.

El Joffrey

7/31/15 12:06pm

Link? First I've heard that.

mango

7/31/15 12:07pm

from what I read the fact that the lion had a gps collar meant it was not legal

El Joffrey

7/31/15 12:15pm

According to CNN today it is legal to shoot a collared animal in Zimbabwe.

In other words, you fail to see why people are upset over something that isn't

I see why people are upset about it. But I also wonder about the priorities of

I see "outrage" and "upset" as two entirely different responses. FYI

Like that matters in the court of public opinion

Zimbabwe would be foolish to punish the dentist

The counter argument is that there are 2,000 lions in Zimbabwe

And hunting is an important aspect of conservation and promoting species

False comparison. A redwood cannot be replaced by the next generation nearly

Such a lame analogy. Did you make that up yourself?

mango

7/31/15 3:03pm

Not a serious comparison.

7/31/15 3:19pm

YES. Since 2000 the US and Zimbabwe have had a bilateral extradition treaty

Does it matter that he didn't break any laws?
