Now Cecil’s brother, Jericho, has been shot dead. I want to scream. I hate this damn world. I hate these people who kill for stupid reasons. What is wrong with people? Why are humans so crazy? Now that Jericho has gone Cecil’s cubs who were being cared for by Jericho will almost certainly be killed by an incoming male lion who wants to run the pride and create his own offspring. That is it. The final travesty. The final act that wipes out all traces of Cecil and his family.
When this sort of thing happens I sense the planet descending into madness and chaos. Where is this planet going? Are we going to end up destroying everything in and on the planet and then ourselves? Humankind has a terribly destructive streak. Will it ever stop; the killing?
For God’s sake leave these animals alone. What people will say is that the poachers who killed Jericho are poor people trying to survive. That is meant to justify it or is an excuse for it. I don’t buy that. Firstly the poachers are being paid by some pain the bum who wants to export the carcass to China where another sh*t wants to eat the lion so he can get an erection. That’s the sort of thing that is behind this poaching. And that is madness.
Also the people of Zimbabwe might be poor and desperate but that is because the country’s leader and president is another POS: Mugabe who is a crazy dictator. Get rid of the sh*t, please.
Please comment on Facebook as well as it helps spread the word – thanks.
I’m seeing numerous reports that Jericho is live and well for the moment, but the park rangers have been put on high alert to protect him.
Jericho has been seen alive. However there is news in today’s press about another totally illegal lion hunt by an American.
Thanks Sarah. I suppose there are illegal lion hunts going on regularly. That is the impression I have. It is just that Cecil highlighted it.
So hope that Jerico’s demise is nothing but propoganda.
Cecil’s cubs need him.
do u have a link 2 the online petition? cuz i don see it. i want 2 sign it. this guy NEEDS 2 b extradited, period. all poachers r scum n MY book, & the ONLY valid hunting is hunting 4 food & the utilization of said animals parts(as much as is possible at least). there is NO such thing as “sport-hunting”. its NOT sporting if the thing u r “sport” hunting is not on the same level as u r. until an animal can use sophisticated tracking equipment, wear protective(& concealing)covering, & shoot back at its hunter said hunting will NEVER b “sporting”. the ONLY real sport hunting is a paintball tournament, cuz its people against people & “the playing field” is equal. thats jus me, of course, but, ya know, i think poachers should b hunted n the same manner that they hunt their prey too so…
Now different news services are saying Jericho is alive and well and they’ve tracked him with his GPS. Not sure who’s telling the truth here. He could be dead and it’s being kept quiet to prevent another uproar. It’s just strange that the Facebook page should have known the correct information.
That’s excellent news if it is true. I had heard conflicting stories and this source seemed reliable! Let’s wait and see.
