newbee,
As for the millions of people throughout the world who were outraged by this AND his patients who willingly chose not to use him as a dentist, well I guess they are too dumb to see how smart you are.
I never said or implied that anyone upset by the killing of the lion is dumb. And on the contrary, if I found out that my dentist had a cruel streak, I’d probably seek another dentist myself.
My comments have primarily been directed at the venting of cruelty under the guise of protesting cruelty. Examples: one of the heads of PETA declared that the dentist should be hanged. The dentist’s children have received death threats. And I’ve commented on the extreme extent of the reaction – it seems rather disproportionate. And finally, I’ve commented when I perceived there to be mischaracterizations of what actually occurred, e.g., you claimed multiple times that the dentist tortured the lion for a week. Not once have I commented on intelligence, mine or anyone else’s.
