Cecil the Lion was only shot a few days ago but there is still his brother, Jericho.
Cat doesn't like it that much of what I write seems negative but there is purpose as I was only a part of the outrage but it ran Walter Palmer, the Minnesota dentist who killed Cecil the Lion, right out of town and has shut down his business indefinitely.
Today someone shot Jericho and now he also is dead. There doesn't seem to be any knowledge of who did it other than to say they were poachers.
-- Insert a virulent blast at rich people who take their amusement in finding beautiful things and killing them --
These people have so much money it corrupts the laws of the country where they kill these animals and there's a death ripple that goes out from what seems like a single killing, washing out the animals it kills, the people who help and commit the crimes for the money, the government which is torpedoed by bribery to permit such killing, etc, etc.
And then we get to the cubs who probably have no chance, at least according to anything I have read.
Walter Palmer could still recover what, presumably, was once a good name. If he were to go back to Zimbabwe and provide dentistry for free then that would be much better than jail. That seems a respectable way to prove repentance and provide a dearly-needed service at the same time.

or he is not dead
I've since read reports Jericho may not be dead. I don't know how a mistake like that gets loose. Maybe it started as some kind of mean prank and a journo published it.
