The Cecil Effect? Zimbabwean Park Ranchers Warn They May Have To Shoot 200 "Surplus" Lions Christine Rousselle | Feb 23, 2016
In 2015, a dentist from Minnesota shot and killed a supposedly-beloved lion named Cecil while on a hunting trip in Zimbabwe. There was mass outrage over this, and animal rights activists around the globe were horrified.
The outrage, unfortunately, is having real, unexpected, consequences on Zimbabwe. Now, ironically, due to the severe reduction in big game hunters, there are simply too many lions in the reserve--and unless they are taken in by another agency, they may have to be culled.
