For some people of color, their traumatic experience with racialized violence leads them to see ("Lion Attacking a Dromedary) primarily through that lens,"Oh, FFS! Will someone not tell these people to just shut up?

The tiger must have heard that Mahout meat is tasty. The elephant must have been in shock when the tiger jumped up on his head. Someone should check the Mahout’s underwear because I think he might have soiled himself. I can't say that I blame him.

The tiger must have heard that Mahout meat is tasty. The tiger probably was a maneater already.
Plenty of maneating tigers in India.

To: Lazamataz
He notes it also depicts a male lion hunting, though it much more common for female lions do the hunting. Comically irrelevant observation. Trying to get the feminists stirred up too, I guess.
Using real human bones in the diorama was pretty twisted, I have to say. I guess that's why it's no longer done.

Thanks Laz. Great, now I'm hungry. Been a while since I enjoyed some camel or lion off a skewer.

The best thing to do in cases like this is to tell the person or persons complaining to F#CK OFF!

Just label the lion Antifa or BLM, and the portrayal of violence will be totally acceptable.

funny about that, right?
The “woman” who started the whole “Trader Joe’s is racist and imperialist” call for boycott and dissolution didn’t exist prior to the launch of “her” twitter and facebook profiles the same week “she” launched “her” online petition.
Trader Joe’s was going to surrender until they realized that it was quite possibly fake and not even from a customer.

>>And ANYBODY complaining about displaying P*** Christ (or its contemporaries like the dung-stained Virgin Mary painting) would themselves be protested and scorned
Correct and those complaining were angry that taxpayer funds went to the artist and museums’ exhibiting it via the NEA (same with the taxpayer funding the dug “painting”).
Yet try to use taxpayer funded SPACES (not even funding to the artist) to exhibit reverential works to Jesus, Mary, or God or even the 10 Commandments and the censors at the ACLU will come in to protest and challenge it in the courts and nutjob extremists will destroy it with hammers and cars...

Hmmn. But you see, the female (the lioness, was already killed. Was being (literally ) downtrodden and stepped on and kicked. “She” had failed, and it takes the males (rider, dromedary, and lion) to continue the fight. Well, “that” message cannot be tolerated!

The rider has a knife in his right hand and apparently has used it against the lioness lying wounded on the ground.
To me the use of human bones is a legit reason to remove the display. To remove it because it’s not woke enough is ridiculous.

OMG, POCs triggered by a lion eating a camel?

Beautifully done. I would love to see it up close for real.
Yes, the snowflakes are now melting down over everything.
I would say Fahrenheit 451 rather than Nazi book burning, but small distinction that.
