Preserves like these should be in the job of making sure these wonderful creatures are protected from the elements during droughts, floods, etc. Where are all the so called animal rights - animal defense organizations when these situations occur? Sure, it takes money, but they all collect money from caring donations. Why are these things allowed to happen?
And yes, I know it appears Jericho was shot.
The article states that it appears Jericho was NOT shot.
Some people never let the truth get in the way of a good story....lol

Jericho died of natural causes per the article below, which doesn't contain anything upsetting other than news of Jericho's death (no upsetting photos):

I looked around to see how Cecil and possibly Jerichos cubs faired after Cecils demise. I found this awesome glimpse of Cecils grandcubs fathered by his son Zanda, video is from May of this year. This is sure to make you smile.

Where has anyone expressed any outrage over his death?
As usual you always try to take my threads in another, unwarranted direction.
@KingstonsMom I guess if one's fovorite solution is a hammer, then every comment looks like a nail.
Your post is quite accurate.

There is a current news item about the oldest lion in the wild in Gir National Forest, Gujarat India having just died what is believed a natural death at age 15. Apparently, lions in the wild live shorter lives than those in captivity that can live to 20-25, maybe 30 max. In the wild, perhaps 10-16 years.

Well, it makes sense.
Animals in captivity, get vet care.
Those in the wild don't.
They usually succumb to illness or injury.

I don't agree with you very often but, you're right on in this instance and for anyone to state that they're crying because a lion died in Africa, imo, has a bit of a reality problem.
