622 Words3 Pages

Like the title of the article suggests it's just a lion and “Zimbabweans are just left shaking their heads wondering why Americans care more about African animals than about African people.” The people of Zimbabwe are kind of like don’t tell us do what we do, and just worry about yourselves, stating: “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 …show more content…

Lions don’t kill humans deliberately,they don't hunt them down and kill them and cut off their heads for a trophy. It is exactly this kind of thinking that is really responsible for the extinction of species. Money, greed and stupidity are the real causes. I think Americans are taking a look at Cecil as an image of surplus. We live in a period of decreasing resources and dangers of termination. The tricking and murdering of an ensured lion not for meat or a danger to others, but rather a trophy head to be mounted, has brought consciousness of the unnecessary butcher of creatures. I comprehend the author's perspective however trust he additionally understands that this disaster has likewise made individuals mindful of his nation and its needs. It's not a high contrast issue and today ideally more individuals know about the requirement for training, inoculations, and occupation creation in Zimbabwe. Eco-tourism can bring more vacationers and open much more eyes to the magnificence of Africa instead of a couple of rich trophy seekers

He supports this claim by giving an example of elephants standing next to their dead children for days after they have passed. The author gives that example of the elephants in order to make the reader understands just how aware these
