CharlieHall, I was referring to the rest of the world, all the movie stars and phony liberals who have been saying hang the guy for killing Cecil (and I don’t care that he was named, it’s more that I feel that people relate more to HIM than to other innocent animals that are slaughtered, BECAUSE he has a name and they don’t). I think the dentist is a hunter, and I find hunting fopr sport to be especially loathsome. But there are far worse things going on in the world that cannot elicit even a 10th of the protest that this poor lion has.
People are screaming about the poor Palestinian infant who was burned to death, allegedly by chareidi settlers (until it is proved that this was not done by Palestinians themseleves as a frameup, I will not believe it just because a magen dovid was painted in graffiti and revenge words were written – Palestinians could have done all that themselves). There was an interfaith prayer vigil scheduled, led by a rabbi and an imam, I believe.
Where was the same outcry when the little three month old JEWISH baby was murdered? Where was the world outcry and prayer vigil for the people who were murdered amidst their davening? What about the pregnant woman, an only child expecting her first baby, blown to bits in Sbarros Pizza many years ago? And scores and scores of other truly innocent victims have died at the hands of those who are now calling for an Intifada.
We need to get our priorities straight, call a spade a spade, and as a people worry more about our own tzoros, than about the animal kingdom. Please note, I said worry MORE about our tzoros, which does not mean we should not worry about tzaar baalei chayim. We absolutely should, and we do. But people come before animals. If you are upset about Cecil (as I am ), please encourage others to be at least as worried about Jews.
