It has just been reported that Cecil's brother, Jericho, was killed today...also illegally. I 'm at a loss for words...

Some might find this article of interest. It tries to get at some of the reasons that create the circumstances that drive these types of horrid acts. Maybe some attention will be brought to the practices and situations that allow these things.

Unfortunately, many people don't even respect one another, hard to get them to respect animals.

I've just read a few more articles and it appears that the original article may have been incorrect....I'm sure more news will follow as to how this story came to be. It appears another lion but not Jericho was killed...small consolation.

The strength is within Eric. Sorry for your loss. The memory and your images will make you stronger.

When I travel to the Ngorogoro Crater, the lions lay along the roadside. The tires from the truck roll within 1-2 feet of these lions, as they are absolutely unafraid of us humans.

They lay there asleep, for hours minding their own business.

How can anyone get some sort of a thrill out of shooting a sleeping animal., or awake for that manner. I guess this is just a sickening human instinct, one of many traits some of us have which are way past brutal, and disgusting.

2000 years ago we hunted to survive., lets hope that stupidity wears off sooner then later.

There is nothing more rewarding then showing pure respect for nature.

Somehow this shot really hits home Eric. A distinct proudness, a wonderful look of royalty and power emanate from this Lions eyes. Ray's last sentence says it very well.

I hope that there is not another tragic loss and that the article is in error

Great shot Eric, emotional.........

The story is all the more distressing when one finds out that the lion was shot with an arrow and was hunted and finally killed 40 hours later. And then it was beheaded!! All those cruel and insensitive SOBs with their $$$ do this for self-gratification in trophy accumulation. I hope the doctor gets extradited and gets his due justice.

There is simply no justification to hunt any animal predator in this day and age when virtually every large predator on earth is endangered! The argument that the money generated by these "hunts" actually helps save the animals is completely unfounded. Look at the recent Nat. Geographic article on taxidermy where a rich "hunter" uses this argument. I can't believe NG would publish such crap!!! I salute everyone that supports wildlife by taking pictures. It's the only hope they've got!!
