Heartbreaking news - Jericho, Cecil's brother has been shot dead by poachers

Once again, because the vile actions of humans, Cecil's cubs are once again at risk.

As much as I am against the death penalty, I would favor having the death penatly for poachers and trophy hunters.

Cecil the lion's brother Jericho has been shot dead in a park in Zimbabwe.
The animal was protecting his lion cubs after he was shot dead by Minnesota dentist, Walter Palmer earlier this month, sparking outrage around the world.
Johnny Rodrigues, Chairman for Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, said in a statement: 'It is with great sadness and regret that we report that Jericho was shot dead at 4pm this afternoon.
'We have no further details but will advise as soon as we know more.'

Meanwhile it's mid-afternoon in Chicago, and several people will die before 8am Monday. Does the Dump care? Nope. Do liberals care? Nope. Does Jimmy Kimmel care? Nope. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027033771)

Crazy malaise has to get in a Bush-shot:

Researcher in Zimbabwe doubts report of 2nd lion killing

JOHANNESBURG (AP) â€” A lion researcher in Zimbabwe who tracked the lion called Cecil that was killed by an American hunter is casting doubt on a report that another male lion who was Cecil's companion was fatally shot.

Researcher Brent Stapelkamp told The Associated Press by telephone Saturday that the satellite collar on a lion named Jericho had been sending normal signals, indicating the lion was alive and moving around.

So those who jumped on the outrage bandwagon can relax until the next shiny object shows up.

Post by: dutch508 on August 01, 2015, 06:47:39 PM: 1 million dead Iraqi civilians....

...the death estimate was revised to 1,033,000 with a given range of 946,000 to 1,120,000

ORB reported that "48% died from a gunshot wound, 20% from the impact of a car bomb, 9% from aerial bombardment, 6% as a result of an accident and 6% from another blast/ordnance.

The ORB poll estimate has come under criticism in a peer reviewed paper entitled "Conflict Deaths in Iraq: A Methodological Critique of the ORB Survey Estimate", published in the journal Survey Research Methods. This paper "describes in detail how the ORB poll is riddled with critical inconsistencies and methodological shortcomings", and concludes that the ORB poll is "too flawed, exaggerated and ill-founded to contribute to discussion of the human costs of the Iraq war"

The Iraq Body Count project also rejected what they called the "hugely exaggerated death toll figures" of ORB, citing the Survey Research Methods paper,which Josh Dougherty of IBC co-wrote.IBC concluded that, "The pressing need is for more truth rooted in real experience, not the manipulation of numbers disconnected from reality."

As of December 2012, the IBC has recorded 110,937-121,227 civilian deaths.

Who did the killing?

37%. US-led forces killed 37% of civilian victims.
9%. Anti-occupation forces/insurgents killed 9% of civilian victims.
36%. Post-invasion criminal violence accounted for 36% of all deaths.
11%. Unknown agents (11%)

so 44,834 is the number of reported killed civilians by US led forces without any details as to why over the course of 9 years.

it's a far cry less that a 1 million... even if it was all US caused.

however- there were 12,253 murders in the US in 2012.

hm.... 44,834 over the course of the war from 2003 to 2012.

that means about 4984 deaths a year in Iraq.

there was 12,253 murders in US of A in 2012.

Not so quick - the narrative has now been established that the entire 'family' of lions has been massacred, and the narrative is far more important that the mere facts to a 'reality based community' like the DUmp.

I was in an ongoing battle with a lib poster about these overblown Iraqi civilian casualty reports.
Almost always the sources for such reports are Al Arabia or Al Jazeera.
