Cecil the Lion...one year later - Catherine - 06-30-2016 It has been a year since Palmer the dentist killed Cecil the Lion. It has been quite a year of awareness of animal issues and protests against hunting. I like to think that there will be a lasting impact and Cecil's death was not for nothing. It seems that Cecil himself has inspired a book. His death is part of it, but his life is the real story. http://news.google.ca/news/url?sr=1&ct2=ca%2F5_0_s_18_1_a&sa=t&usg=AFQjCNEU35IA2lY7zT1LEMsEcai6aNkktg&cid=52779143738022&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wbur.org%2Fhereandnow%2F2016%2F06%2F29%2Fcecil-life-legacy&ei=QJB0V-jmCtftugKuyaLYBg&sig2=Wi8gvjgeeBUoqCyGp9i9WQ&rt=HOMEPAGE&vm=STANDARD&bvm=section&did=370955137613301339&sid=-8045216523962456070&ssid=cstm&st=2&at=dt0 I hope children reading the story will be inspired and will be very aware of animal issues. That would be a good legacy for Cecil, that and his many children. RE: Cecil the Lion...one year later - Catslave. - 07-01-2016 Lets hope his death wasn't in vain and people have learnt from it. RE: Cecil the Lion...one year later - Catherine - 07-01-2016 As long as we remember Cecil and use him as an example his death will have meaning. Other animals will live because Cecil is a rallying point against such senseless killing. |
