It's simply more than we can take !


Cecil the lion's brother, Jericho, is also illegally killed in Zimbabwe, official says

(CNN)The brother of slain Cecil the lion, named Jericho, was killed Saturday in Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, a senior park official told CNN.

Jericho was gunned down by a hunter operating illegally, said Johnny Rodrigues, head of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force.

Cecil was also killed illegally, provoking an international outrage because he was a protected animal, and Zimbabwe is seeking the extradition of American dentist Walter Palmer on accusations that he and others illegally hunted the lion, authorities said.

Notice it reads "brother of "slain" Cecil the lion" ?

Who's next, Tony the tiger ?

If the OP is true - my heart is truly broken! That would also mean that Cecil's cubs are at great risk.

 

[Lakhota]

I've heard various stories that dentist Walter Palmer is supposedly a master archer. If that is true - then why did it take 40 hours to find Cecil and finish killing him with a gun? An arrow in the heart, liver or lungs would have been much more humane. It would seem the dentist missed all the vital organs. It sounds more like a gut shot to me - which causes major suffering. Obviously, Cecil had a strong will to live.

You have no heart. You're obviously salivating.

Cecils brother was supposed to protect the offspring. Looks like they're 'goners', too. Oh well; maybe their organs can be used to furthur science towards preventing nasty lion diseases, or at the least, feed the local natives.

Bleh, the team tracking the GPS said the lion is alive and well and this is "utter sensationalism".

Hey they were born so now it's time to abandon them. The GOP way.

I understand Yogi Bear is in hiding.

Also, they've asked the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote what they think, and they had no comment on the story, but plan to sue Acme who have refused to bake a gay wedding cake.
