Outrage over Killed Lion

I'm sorry that Cecil was shot by that dentist with a crossbow. Find the enormous amount of outrage most interesting. It reminds me of a scene in a disaster movie where zillions of people and animals are getting killed, the whole world threatened, and we the audience are for a time only concerned about the survival of one dog. I wish that same compassionate energy could be channeled into concern for the biosphere which we are collectively trashing but I guess survival of vertebrates is too abstract. - dc
