I don't think there are many people who are upset about Cecil's killing that would not also mourn someone killed by a lion. The author's insinuation that we don't care about something we were never given the opportunity to care about is the worst kind of moral fallacy, and is entirely unfair.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoTo be truthful, we've laughed about idiots killed by lions, when those idiots ignored fences and signs in a zoo. So its entirely situational.
- lentil_soup 11y agoTrue, you are right. But I disagree on "we were never given the opportunity to care about", horrible things have happened in Africa in the last few months that haven't received the same kind of interest from the public. That of course doesn't mean not to be upset about the lion, that I agree would be a fallacy.
