“Ah yes, the nurturing beta male as hero. This new lion is sort of in the Alan Alda role as the narrative unfolds.”
Here is the real story. Cecil and his “brother” were gay lions who lived in a pride with females to avoid homophobic lion society. They wanted children so they took over a pride by killing the alpha male. Being kind and sensitive lions they adopted the cubs as their own. The American hunter heard about this and being a homophobic Romney supporter decided to murder Cecil.
