Remember
this: Sometimes it is best to determine that the decoy, is the decoy.
Diversions are everywhere.
I
have been keeping up with this Cecil, the Lion fallout. One of the
most concerning developments is the asking of donations for Conservation after Cecil was found dead using the emotional state of
the masses.
His
body is not even cold in the ground, so to speak.
I
began to turn this in a new way. It was ghastly what I saw, be it
true or untrue.
Oh
you have to love a conspiracy theory. Just for fun, here is mine.
Cecil,
the Lion was 13 years old. What is the average age of a lion hunted
for trophy? Males are hunted up to a minimum age to intervene due to
infanticide. This is due to males killing the offspring of other
males to replace their DNA in a pride. Cecil lived to be 13 years
old. He was old for his age and made lots of cubs. He was also
involved in a study that may have used hunters as variables to
determine the effect trophy hunting and hunters had on given prides
of lions or over a certain area in the study. The two went hand in
hand, it would seem.
Hunting
itself becomes a scientific variable to be considered. It is
necessary to the given research that is directed at any animal. If
the scientist makes it a part of the study. Hunting could be
the facilitator of the research study in question.
A
scientist can research the effects of trophy hunting on a given
species to determine if trophy hunting indeed is beneficial or
derogatory to Conservation.
Add
to this, the other variable of watching a human population observing
and becoming emotionally attached to a given specimen in a study.
This specimen has been elevated over time to representative of that
particular species. There are psychological ramifications.
Now,
what if you have a known outfitter and hunter, with a reputation to
do shady acts. These two are positioned in an area close to this old
lion, and this lion is close enough to be lured over to a property.
Luring the hunters the whole time, knowing they are going to do
something bad.
It is like a big piece of bait no man can resist. I say remove a bad hunter and outfitter, either way ethically and morally this was wrong. Not to mention a lack of the ability to make a sound decision during a hunt. If it were a set-up, it is like a mouse going after cheese on a mouse trap. Whack, goes the metal when it snaps.

Think
about it.
How
much damage, in chronological order, could the death of this lion
incur? How
can damage be swung to generate a benefit?
How
easy would it be to spin a story to the media and drive it to an
controlled outcome?
This
is what I thought just for interest in conspiracy theories:
Retire
a 13 year-old, aged lion from a research study using a bumbling
hunter and his outfitter. This is one way to remove a bad outfitter
and hunter from a landscape.
Subtract
out the landowner, who can't control the hunter or the outfitter,
once on the property. Eventually, this person will most likely not be
prosecuted.
Scientists
decide they need to remove Cecil, the Lion from the landscape because
he has aged and done his due. Would he have eventually been sold as a
trophy hunt like the black rhino? One wonders...
What
now, if Cecil's death is a part of the study to observe the law of
lion society? Will the scientists let the remaining cubs die? Will
they take the cubs to another place?
Are
the scientists using this as another variable of death by
misadventure at the hands of a hunter? Because of this, are the
scientists going to change their parameters for the research study
itself?
Does
life go on now? Will the general public get updates or will it all
fade to black?
In
this article, it is stated Cecil, the Lion was seen moving toward a
hunting concession. Why did the scientists not warn the hunters in
the perimeter to stay away from this lion?

If
it were me, I would have been getting the word out on my research
subjects.
Here
you have again, an outpouring of funds from the United States. Where
is the African monetary support?
Also
in this article, is the admission by the statements about the
discovery of people's thought on the death of one lion. I would say
this is limited to the events around this one lions death; not the
fact that there will be trouble in the lion pride due to the ring
leader dying. Think of the ramifications. If this if fueled by
emotion generated by the the act in which the lion die, people will
not be thinking clearly. It is off-the-cuff reaction.
If someone watched Cecil, the Lion and knew what direction he was moving due to luring, how hard would it be just to 'let him go'?

I
wouldn't be surprised later after the death of Cecil was leaked to
the media, someone yelled, “Gold Mine.”
I
hope something good comes of Cecil, the Lion losing his life. It
would be a disgrace if he were sacrificed up in order to get more
money.
Given
the airlines embargoing trophy imports and exports, the death of
Cecil, the Lion puts a dent in the narrative, which shifts from
hunting being beneficial to detrimental upon Conservation efforts
while undermining scientific research projects.
After
Cecil, the Lion dies there is an outrage from the given public. This
outrage generates interest in donation via the non-profits asking to
help through monetary contributions to fund research and conservation
efforts. Well meaning people are now being targeted by different
conservation groups and non-profits banking on the windfall of funds
brought about by the manipulation of the emotions of people infused
to the end of trophy hunting, animal abuse, ethically and morally
wrong acts by hunters, and so on.
Cecil
dies tragically, the bad guys go to the jail, the scientist make
bank, and trophy hunting finally dies because it might not be of any
more use in conservation efforts per studies done by scientists. Some
would argue trophy hunting is of no benefit to Conservation.
Of
course, none of this could be true. All of it is starting to look
shady from my pine branch in the woods as I squirrel around for an
acorn.
Life seems to be one person or group acting just as bad as another.If Cecil, the Lion is loved so much. Why not removed his off-spring, raise them elsewhere, and re-introduce them back into the wild? Give them a fighting chance...just this once for the sake of all those people who paid out the nose to donate to the Conservation of African Lions.
If
you were going to make a tragic hero in a narrative beloved, what is the best
way to do him in? Once put under the knife, so to speak, how would
you elevate the tragic hero into the hearts of the reader?
Even
I am getting tired of seeing dead lions everywhere, online.

I
was aghast at the thought, “Was Asland sacrificed? Again?”
