“The modern world is a hostile place for large carnivores like lions. It will take all our ingenuity and determination to secure their conservation alongside the development of local communities. Conservation solutions depend on the best possible science, for the benefit of wildlife and local people, and the WildCRU’s work is dedicated to undertaking that science and working with policy-makers to implement it. We desperately need support – millions of people have been affected by Cecil’s death – and by the plight of lions in general – and imagine they are powerless at preventing further lion decline. However, those millions can make an immediate and real difference – if each of them made a pledge of support to the WildCRU it would revolutionise our work for conservation, and hugely improve the long-term outlook for lions both in Zimbabwe and elsewhere. That would be a worth memorial to a lion as magnificent as Cecil, who has provided so much to WildCRU and the world”.

It was not the order of nature that took Cecil. It was the greedy, cheating, unfairly advantaged hand of man that did it.

Therefore, people of compassion and wisdom MUST offset this tragedy.

This is so disgusting. So heart wrenching. And we need to start locking up all these assholes.

I don't understand the need to kill such a magnificent animal. Trophy hunting really is a type of mental illness. These creatures have a right to their lives. What gives you the right to take it away?
So many things about this story bother me.

The fact that he was lured away, so that he could be shot.
The fact that he wasn't put out of his Pain for 40 HOURS. The fact that his 24 cubs might be killed because of this.
I wish we could intervene.

May everyone involved in this fiasco be prosecuted.

I have to ask- how much does this dentist charge to be able to afford such an expensive hobby?
