Cecil The Lion Meets His Maker

The Eden Prairie  Minn. dentist who wantonly slaughtered the African lion, Cecil, has been forced to go into hiding in fear for his life. The famous feline had been an ongoing study for many years by conservationists on the African Plains.

Already today I've been forced to read numerous articles about how the major television networks have given more coverage to the big cat than the abortion videos. This says volumes about our society and priorities.

I feel there's another subject for discussion, one much more serious than Cecil's untimely death by bow and arrow. Are you aware that when a lion takes over a pride it is his duty to kill all the offspring of that lioness that are not his? Lord knows how many of these harmless cubs have had their precious little necks snapped by this murderous predator. Did he eat the remains, too? Let's hope not or he will be the Jeffrey Dahmer of the 21st century in the animal kingdom. Cecil may be responsible for heinous crimes against his breed never before seen in the annals of history. And, I shudder to think how the new king of the pride who will now, like Attila the Hun going after the innocents, destroy Cecil's offspring. Oh, the humanity of it all.

And what about his past history with the population mammalian in general. He allows his mistresses to bring down the antelope and buffalo of the prairie while he reaps the benefits without raising a paw. Slothful is all I can say. It's a major sin don't you know.

There is blame to be placed on this story and it dates back many years. If the movie, Bambi, had not been made then it's probable there would be little animal sympathy for the fallen beast. Think not? Bambi humanized the animal kingdom for all mankind. Animals could now speak, have nurturing mothers and consciences. I wonder if they become Catholic and go to confession.

Now the news begins to come out that this story is not a big thing after all. Safari's are a boon to a countries coffers and does allow for game reserves to replenish their resources. To this date all we are receiving in the way of info comes from mothers holding signs reading, "Remember Cecil" flanked by a small child with the same old bewildered look on their cute little faces.

P.S. Is there any chance this non-story might be a deflection by the MSM away from more meaty stories?
