Here is a lion killing and devouring a wildebeest. How many wildebeests have been saved now that "Cecil" is out of the food chain?

I could have posted much bloodier photos of a lion attacking its prey but I can use this one just as effectively to show that lions are very much part of the food chain and the food chain always works both ways. Just ask those who have encountered sharks or alligators and lived to tell about it.

Not that I'm condoning the hunting of lion only for sport but if this hunter had butchered Cecil into cuts of lion meat for the grill, I would be fine with that. I might even ask for a cut or two to marinate and put on my Weber this weekend.

Wildebeest lives matter too. But I guess they aren't as "cute and cuddly" as lions so nobody really cares about them.

As a point of order, he couldn't take the meat, even if he wanted it - By law, the meat goes to the natives.
