World's pussiest hunter offers craptacular apology and returns to work.
The hunters also tried to destroy the GPS collar that Cecil was wearing as part of research backed by Oxford University, according to the conservation group.

You're sorry you got caught, you lying shithead.

If he was actually taunting the angry mob with "Ha ha nothing will happen I'll just retire early," then he has no ambiguous feelings about it. He may have no feeling about it at all, it's just something he has to deal with in which to protect his income source.

I'm almost certain he doesn't think he did anything wrong, and probably believes that only the far left wing tree-hugging liberal nutjobs are upset with him. He doesn't give too much of a crap about them so his apology to them is crap, just enough to try to appease because he believes any normal person is on his side in this but is afraid to say so.

‘Cecil effect’: Zimbabwe park may kill 200 lions as discouraged hunters result in over-population
When people living in the city that have no idea of how nature (or conservation) works start weighing in on things they are ignorant about. News flash... watching The Lion King probably makes you less qualified to manage African wildlife. Not more qualified.

Funny to think as lions as big pests like we think of deer here east of the Mississippi.

I'm kind of glad deer only try to wreck your cars instead of stalking you from your yard if you forget to mow, trying to eat you.

Honestly, never having paid attention to the issue, when the story first broke I thought lions were endangered. I am now corrected. I would eat a lion steak.

I often wonder if the average three year old would believe you can walk up to a polar bear in real life and it'll just give you a Coke or something.

Yeah, deer are pussies, but those rabbits...

However, Leathem stressed that his institution lacks both the offers and funds to relocate the animals so far.

“If anyone knows of a suitable habitat for them where they will not land up in human conflict, or in wildlife areas where they will not be beaten up because of existing prides, please let us know and help us raise the money to move them,” he said.

So that's why "let them go in the wild" isn't an option.
