R.I.P Cecil. What a jerk dentist, pure human filth.

[Monedula]

I hate people who do such things. Disgusting.

[ShanonLee]

Your greatest moment ever, sticking up for Cecil as you did ❤

[sammyderrick]

Cecil is now with the GREAT KINGS OF THE PAST!!!R.I.P.

[nadiagandin]

The 100 people who disliked this video are probably the dentist's friends and relatives...

[kingrobert]

Well said Jimmy thanks for really showing your true feeling towards this disgusting Trophy Hunter

[ShirZ]

Thank you Jimmy for sharing this with the nation. This message is important to create awareness. On this planet named earth, we share the land, water and air, we as all living things; especially ones who feel, love and have families. Why would killing be fun? Prayers to a better world.

[jamalamazigh]

That evil dentist should be shipped to Africa Serengeti to serve as an appetizer for little pride 😡😡😡

[myrnaloy]

Thank you Jimmy for being serious for a moment and bringing attention to this crime. Hope this dentist prick is in hiding forever. What an ass.

I like Mr kimmel crying act about cecil, not even one tear drop when he invits kim kardashian who wears real fur coats where you can count at least a hundred animals hanging on her... Prioritize !

[jcatthepittbull]

What the hell is wrong with all these people talking about all the other things Jimmy doesn't cry about he's purely bringing awareness to this lion and how they lured him out of a protected area

[fabioramirez]

I don't understand how one can be sad about this incident and yet ignore the suffering that we cause to billions of animals a year. People's blinders have been on for way too long. We need to educate ourselves, apologize to the animals, and reawaken our compassion.

[code]

wow you get shit view for having 6 million subs

[lindsaymeniz]

The only time I saw compassion in this man but very true questions.

[falastinibabygurl]

Awww Did Jimmy get teary eyed? Great guy for using his platform for some good

[rachelschwebach]

I am still pissed that Palmer murdered Cecil. I loved what Jimmy said.

[glassblueshard]

Pathetic excuse: "I didn't know it was illegal"

Reality: They tied bait to the back of the car and lead the lion out of the park because killing lions in the park is, ILLEGAL.

[crystalp]

I seriously love Jimmy. He has such a genuine heart!

[scottydu]

This right here is why Harambe’s death turned into a meme.

[MikhailKalashnikovMiG]

I disagree with hunting for sport as well. Humans should rise above this animalistic behaviour already. Life is precious enough as it is. Taking away a life for the sake of a temporary high makes no sense to me.
