#1 They can still be of use, as rioters or as lynch mobs.

#3 The only thing that surprises me is that some leftist didn't parade out the stupid hackneyed mantra: "Lion lives matter."

I've got to admit my sympathies are with the lion. It doesn't seem as if there is much sport in this as I understand it.

#5 Don't worry, John, I'm sure they'll wait until after a couple dentists from Wisconsin are killed before we all find out what really happened with the lion.

Here's an interesting factoid you might want to consider: most large wild cats are eventually killed by other large wild cats. You'd actually have to know something about large cats to know that, instead of just "loving" them.

#7 NOT familiar wid "CECIL" - in my childhood it was the TV show DAKTARI's "CLARENCE THE CROSS-EYED LION", IIRC a spinoff of JOHN WAYNE'S POPULAR "SAFARI" MOVIE of the time.
