    The other day, American Airlines banned hunting trophies after the anger and backlash about cecil the lion. Thoughts?

    I agree, I'm not going to Africa and hunt anytime in my life. However I don't think they should ban it for those that want to do so.

    We are all hunters. We all are on the same team. Regardless of where or how you want to hunt.

    Its amazing what the people choose to cause an uproar about (no pun intended) But theres so much more going on in the world that people should be getting this crazy over and they choose to do it over someone Hunting a lion. I think its ridiculous!
