Somehow I doubt Quinn Terence Swales will get quite the attention as Cecil the Lion:

A lion mauled to death a guide leading tourists on a walking safari in the Zimbabwean national park where Cecil the lion lived before he was shot, police said Tuesday. …

The guide, Quinn Terence Swales, 40, was airlifted from the scene but pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital in the resort town of Victoria Falls.

From a statement by Camp Hwange:

“We can confirm that Quinn did everything he could to successfully protect his guests and ensure their safety, and that no guests were injured.”

The lion’s name is Nxaha.

Where are the protests and the theatrical displays of self-righteous grief? Will a bloodthirsty mob force Nxaha into hiding, as with Walter Palmer, who was forced into the role of Emmanuel Goldstein for successfully hunting a lion? Or will no one give a hoot because Swales was only a human, not some savage beast?

Of all the depraved notions that comprise the left-wing point of view, failure to understand that a person’s life is worth more than an animal’s is possibly the sickest.
