Xanda, Cecils Son, Killed (please Sign To End Trophy Hunting)
Tweet |
This is very, very sad. Please sign.
Cecil the lion’s six-year-old son, Xanda, has been killed almost exactly on the second anniversary of his own death, which caused international outcry over the cruelty of trophy hunting.
Just like Cecil, Xanda, a young father himself, was lured away from the safety of a national park in Zimbabwe. Also like Cecil, Xanda was wearing a research collar and was an important part of a long-term study on lions. Killing Cecil and Xanda shows a shocking display of disrespect for these imperiled animals and the unnecessary killing of these majestic creatures just for bragging rights and a head-hunting exercise.
The tide is turning against trophy hunting around the world as a result of Cecil’s death—and the killing of his son will only add to that momentum. Please sign our pledge to take a stand against this senseless cruelty.
Thank you for caring about animals.
Sincerely,
Andrew Rowan
President and CEO
