"In Zimbabwe, We Don?t Cry for Lions"

Interesting point of view.


"We Zimbabweans are left shaking our heads, wondering why Americans care more about African animals than about African people."

"Don?t tell us what to do with our animals when you allowed your own mountain lions to be hunted to near extinction in the eastern United States. Don?t bemoan the clear-cutting of our forests when you turned yours into concrete jungles."

"And please, don?t offer me condolences about Cecil unless you?re also willing to offer me condolences for villagers killed or left hungry by his brethren, by political violence, or by hunger."
