Description
I created this painting in honor of Cecil The Lion in Zimbabwe, Africa. He was 12 years old and a favorite in the national park he was supposed to be protected in. A Dentist from Wisconsin lured him out of the park with a jeep full of meat and shot him with his cross bow, maiming the lion. Cecil ran away, the hunters found him 40 hours later, shot him in the head with a gun and killed him. There has been a huge outcry against this and the media has highlighted this noble lions death, bringing to light bans against trophy hunting.

Genevieve, What a fine tribute to the memory of this proud animal… Sad he was hunted and killed so senselessly. L/V
