I just got a rude reminder that this thread is not expressing the only point of view. In Zimbabwe, We Don’t Cry for Lions shows how people who actually live with lions feel.

I suspect that, if lions roamed neighborhoods in the US, the responses in this thread might be different. Food for thought...

Here's a quote:

Don’t tell us what to do with our animals when you allowed your own mountain lions to be hunted to near extinction in the eastern United States. Don’t bemoan the clear-cutting of our forests when you turned yours into concrete jungles.

And please, don’t offer me condolences about Cecil unless you’re also willing to offer me condolences for villagers killed or left hungry by his brethren, by political violence, or by hunger.
