[ The headline infers that Cecil was killed illegally. Is that true? ]
Some debate on if he was baited and the legality of it, even if Cecil wasn’t legally killed the whole baiting thing is jerky move on behalf of the guides and possibly the hunters.
Cecil may have been legally killed but it was D!ck move if he was baited off of a reserve so someone could “fish barrel shoot” him.
His Brother may have been illegally poached by poaching poaching scum.

I recently read some estimates that said, on average, each year,
500 lions are killed by humans, and 250 humans are killed by lions.

The Chronicles Of Narnia is just a fantasy story, kind of like this administration.

Zimbabwe is not corrupt. I also keep a few 100 trillion Z dollars on my desk to hand out as low cost bribes.
Interesting to note Zimbabwe is leaving their corrupt dollars and switching to the US dollars as the currency of record.

It seems the ones monitoring his tracking collar dispute this claim they say the collar is still on the move.

Around 50 lion’s per year are taken by hunter’s in Zimbabwe and close to 270 a year in Africa.

remember that Obama was there only last week. So, there’s probably a lot of bs coming out of Africa.

Some major issues that might have been considered important are now trivial in light of this news. I mean, NOTHING is more important than those two lions having been killed.

Apparently he’s not dead, looks like someone just trying to throw more gasoline on the fire.

The first lion was killed legally. Just a typical large animal hunt.
This second one, if killed, was shot within the park boundaries, and as such was illegal.
Of course, this is lawless Zimbabwe.
