It's worse than that Ed. Because of their selfish suicidal father 6 cubs will now die as another lion will kill them in order to mate with their mother. Cecil has their blood on his paws.
Is it not the lionesses that do the hunting? Cecil probably never did anything apart from eat already killed animals and shagged all day. And slept. Respect where respect is due.
It's been a bad week for humanity this week with lions shot, ducklings slaughtered, dogs swung about and little downs syndrome kids put into washing machines then thrown about bouncy castles. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/toddler-washing-machine-mum-new-6126681 I thank God that there all still men like Mark Warburton and John Collins to inspire my faith in our race and publications like the Barrie Bugle to report such social injustice.
