Morning greeting - Happy World Lion Day

How did people come to a point where killing lions, chopping up their carcasses to expose their skeletons, grinding up the bones and then selling this 'product', along with their teeth, nails and other parts on the Chinese market come to be, so that they can mix it in with their dinner to increase fertility, wear it around their neck to show how powerful they are or for some other insane superstitious purpose? How has the world come to this, that we allow this to happen? How did the 'people' there develop into such heartless and cruel beings to create such a demand? It is beyond my comprehension.

 

Please if you can, support these organizations trying to combat this sick practice, as well as all the other threats lions are facing. An Africa without lions is equivalent to a human without a soul. Every donation, no matter how small will help:
