I've been thinking all day "Why does it matter he has a name and a collar? Don't kill the fucking lions!"

I know, right? Hunting in general is gross. Not for food is grosser. Even an asshole like Ted Nugent eats his kills. Not that a lion is edible... so don't kill them!

The fact he is referred to as "Beloved lion, Cecil" leads me to think the media is manipulating everyone. Nobody cares about a black woman dying in Police custody. They can be safely outraged by this far-away problem while being judgement of their neighbour.
