Paging Drythe

@Drythe Did you read that the Zimbabwe government has dropped all charges against the guide and dentist who killed Cecil the lion? I guess they figured if they waited awhile until the furor died down, people would forget about it and they can continue with business as usual. It's a tragedy they are so irresponsible in guarding and protecting their own resources, namely their magnificent wildlife.

I also recently heard that Cecil's brother had died but don't remember the circumstances.

Hi @Kachina624

Last I read, the brother seemed to have died of natural causes.

ITA, it's horrible, a miscarriage of justice, that the dentist got away with it.

Shame on everyone connected in this tragedy. Just awful.

Hello,

I agree with everything you say. Additionally, (sorry to offend anyone) but, Zimbabwe is a corrupt country.

As usual money talks.

It just breaks my heart.

I pray that someday there will be justice for these poor creatures who have no choice, who have no voice.

@Drythe Agree on the corruption. I read when he first took office, the president was responsible for the deaths of about 24,000 citizens. No wonder he's not worried about a lion, plus he probably gets a kick back.
