TRIBUTE TO CECIL AND JERICHO

Drythe — Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:08:29 GMT

Bless you Cecil.

May your death light a fire which shines around the world putting an end to Game Hunting for sport, trophies, fashion, and pseudo medicine. May your memory make this a better place for all animals. May your death not have been in vain.

ROAR CECIL !

Sweet Jericho, you are giving your best and stand tall for Cecil and his family.

Blessed be.

Beautiful @Drythe! It made me think about lions in symbology and in folklore, and of course, as animal totems. One of the many symbols a lion represents is that of Justice. Perhaps that was Cecil's life purpose on some level......

What a beautiful and magnificent tribute to a beautiful and magnificent Lion.

Praying that the people at the Zimbabwe preserve where Cecil's cubs are living at will ignore "The Circle of Life" and will have the compassion and the brains to step in and save his precious cubs before they are killed by the next male Lion who will seek to take over Cecil's pride.

There is no sane reason for sweet Cecil's bloodline to be wiped out.

Intriguing image.

Its always fascinating that certain people in this world can see the power, beauty, significance and innate dignity within all living things ...while other people are so blind to it all that they get their jollies in objectify and killing it all.

How to get people to SEE things as they really are rather than remaining too bothered (and vain) to even look. That's a mystery of the human soul in the end.

biancardi,

Thank you so much for identifying the artist, I am very grateful. Oddly, Christos is a hero of mine, I followed his installations and was fortunate to see some of them.

Knowing it is his gives the work even more meaning to me.

Adelina,

I hope out of this tragedy comes some good, and yes, justice for Cecil. As a Libra, I see justice as an absolute necessity to the foundation of any evolved society.

It is beautiful, Drythe! In the Bay Area, we've been lucky enough to have a couple of works by Christos.

@NoelSeven Do you mean the SF Bay Area? I didn't know this and I live there. (Of course, there is plenty of stuff I don't know!)

Let the spirits of Cecil and Jericho (and the spirits of all creatures killed in vain - whether human or animal) help us make the world a safe place.
