Who Killed Cecil

Innocently lured off Hwange National Park shot at with a bow and arrow injured and confused then tracked down and killed in cold blood with a gun Cecil was killed on July 1 of 2015 whether he was murdered by a big game hunter or a researcher-- the truth remains—such a friendly lion did not deserve to die in a horrible way conservationists and all good people are outraged surely someone somewhere has to account for this horrifying act of cruelty and other poaching crimes

A powerful poem here friend that will serve to raise awareness about this problem of poaching. I hope governments start taking the necessary steps to combat the threat that armed poachers are causing!

Well written and concise. I may be a duffer but I cannot see what anyone would get out of shooting any of the big game animals with a high powered rifle. Looks like the guy and his guide are going to be charged. I'd be more impressed if he'd taken Cecil on hand to paw but you need bravery for that. We should also show similar outrage at the killing of people. These animals are a much better prize alive and walking in their natural habitat. Kind regards, Ian
