quote:Fine,
Deer have existed long before humans and did fine on their own until we go on their land. As we expanded we took more of their land. Only way we can save the population of deer is by killing an an alloted number relative to pupulation size. You cannot stop human expansio, you can curb species population to make it better for the population because of humans taking their territory.
but why the emotional connection to A lion, if it hadn't been Cecil it would have been another mature male lion. Cecil just happened to pull the short straw.
Whether it was over hung bait, lured from a reserve, or killed with a Swiss Army knife, it is one dead lion. Conservation purpose served.

People don't see it for what it really is. Same reason people get all bent out of shape over big game hunting brown bear. They don't view the bear as something that will actively hunt cubs but rather a cute little bear with a funny hat that says "only you can prevent forest fires."
Charismatic megafauna. Bambi, smokey the bear, the Lion king, the list goes on and on. Yet nobody cries a foul when they have a hamburger or a pull pork sandwich. It's stupid.
