Are you referring to the Cecil story?

As Prager said, we can choose what outrages us. There are millions of cases of evil and injustice in the world, we cannot express equal outrage for all.

Imagine if a farmer near Auchwitz in the 1940’s was known to mistreat his puppies. How would you feel if that’s all the story the nearby Germans talked about?
Would you say to an anti-death camp activist “hey, stop bringing up that Auchwitz thing! There are lot of other important things around here, like that farmer with the puppies!”?
