Justice for Cecil the Lion

The Issue

Please Please, Please sign this, this is so incredibly heartbreaking. Why ? Why would you feel the need to kill something so beautiful, so stoic, and so innocent. This hurts my heart beyond belief, I couldn't even get through half of the article without tearing up. This right here, this is what is wrong with the world. You sit there you blame everything from social class to racism to equality to money. How about common decency? How about right and how about wrong? How about r...aising your children to have respect for something that has walked a completely different path of life that they couldn't possibly understand, but know that they have a purpose. You go to zoos you go to aquariums you waste your money on seeing these beautiful creatures locked behind bars and going stir crazy in their minds and hearts(they do have those you know) and smile because they bring you enjoyment, they satisfy your curiosity. Well how upsetting that the Lion that is behind bars not knowing if it should walk left today or right because it only has two places it can go and one place it can end up may be the only one left, among other species that are selfishly murdered for "sport". Sport:an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. Let me ask you, Dentist, educated individual, part of the leaders in our country financially and educationally with all your money and your greed. Have you picked up a dictionary? Have you read what sport is? because I don't see a competition in what you've done I see murder. Go out into the Serengeti let the lion have a fair shot, don't carry a gun and let me know how that works out for you, then you can call it a sport. A fair one. This, infuriates me, and it has to end.
