Gotta keep the important news off the front page.
I wonder how many more dead lions (and other cute, anthropomorphic critters) will turn up between now and the election?

Will cry for a lion but won’t cry for babies being slaughered in the womb and “Crushed” for their tiny parts

I can’t find the article now, but it was about some animal (rhinos I think), where they allow 4 to be taken by hunters at a high price. On average the country finds over 700+ carcasses a year due to poachers (for the horns).
But yeah - its the four rich white guys that everyone is up in arms about.

Still no broad-spread reports of equal disdain for what the Butchers of Human Fetuses did.
This Cecil think is a sick self-destructive joke on the folks expressing sympathy for him, and not the fetuses.

I’m going to be an optimist and hope it was a zombie lion.

The beloved animal was protecting Cecil's lion cubs after he was shot dead This is BS. I saw a show on one of the "learning" channels once that shocked me. If a male lion takes over another male's digs, he kills the other male's cubs. I thought it was evil but after all, they are animals. I know Cecil's cubs were not happy to see uncle Jericho show up.
