by 2050 - these beautiful animals could be extinct.  And now Cecil's 24 cubs could be also killed, due to another male lion taking over the pride.

---

I understand the next alpha male will want to remove traces of Cecil's line from the pride; however, I do not understand why those cubs could not be rescued and raised, then returned to the wild somewhere else.

---

I don't understand that either.  They're old enough to survive in a separate facility.  To just let another massacre take place doesn't make sense to me.  It would be another punch in my stomach if they let this happen.

In the wild I guess it can't be helped, but they have control over this!

PLEASE SAVE THE CUBS!!

Yep -- He thought he was so above it all, but Karma got him.

Unfortunately, I understand he is treated like royalty in that jail and that all the inmates still look upon him as a hero.  He's not suffering.

Do not think that is true, Simpson has been attacked and beat-up several times in prosin.

Hi Pearlee, Thank you and everyone who share my rage over this incident.  If the press and notable people keep the pressure up, there's a good chance we can ensure Cecil will not have died in vain.  He will forever be remembered for a movement to stop this horrible business of trophy hunting.

One heads-up.  Yesterday a poster had a link similar (don't exactly remember) to yours with a warning IN RED.  Someone clicked on the link, was greatly offended, complained to the moderators, and the posting was completely removed.  Go figure.

*********************************

Yes, that was me.  I linked to the Jimmy Kimmel response.  Even with the warning, which was explained to be about the photos shown on TV, someone had it taken down.

Not graphic photos, either.  And since it was at least four minutes into the video, I doubt the offended person even watched it.

Again, many people can be concerned about more than one thing at a time.

I know what you're referring to. Not only was it O/T, but it was totally fallacious logic. Seems some are extremely myopic.

[LilacTree]

I have seen no photos and have no desire to see them.  I think they would make me vomit.  I will be horrified if somehow I see them by mistake.  I have deliberately avoided going online over  this.

I watch CNN; they would never show these photos and I don't think any of the three network channels would either.

FORD,

How do you know what photos I was talking about? 

I put up warnings about several things, including TV show spoilers.

[biancardi]

ladies, there is a spoiler tag here and you can put things of that nature in there, stating not to click on the spoiler tag

that should work out - people who want to view things, can do so and those who don't, won't see it unless they click on the spoiler tag.

I don't know who posted what and what photos you are talking about.  My post was not directed at you.  Everyone knows there have been photos taken and they have been described.  I have no idea what photos you posted.
