    Totally agree Deb. Thanks for the link KJ.
    Sigh, here is a very disturbing FYI on Dentist’s Hunting sprees:
    Hunted Prey
    Very Sad. Hoping Cecil will be the example for turning point on Banning All Canned/Trophy Hunting!

    Brother of Zimbabwe’s lion Cecil appears alive and well: researcher
    Sat Aug 1, 2015 4:02pm EDT
    By MacDonald Dzirutwe
    HARARE (Reuters) – The brother of Cecil, the lion killed in Zimbabwe by an American hunter last month, is not dead, a researcher monitoring the pride told Reuters, contradicting media reports that Jericho had been killed.
    “He looks alive and well to me as far as I can tell,” said Brent Stapelkamp, field researcher for the Hwange Lion Research Project which is monitoring the lion with a GPS tag.
    A group called the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force posted on its Facebook page that Jericho had been killed at 4 p.m. on Saturday, a report picked up by some Western news media that was rapidly spread on Twitter.
    That generated a furious reaction on the social networking site where animal lovers had already been expressing their fury at the killing on July 1 of Cecil, a rare black-maned lion that was a familiar sight at Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park.
    Stapelkamp said readings from Jericho’s GPS tag indicated he was moving around as usual and appeared to be with a female.
    “When I heard that report, I had a look on the computer and his movements look regular. He sent a GPS point from his collar from 8:06 p.m. (02:06 p.m. EDT). Everything looks fine,” Stapelkamp told Reuters.
    Earlier on Saturday, Zimbabwe’s parks authority imposed an indefinite ban on big game hunting outside the national park from which Cecil was lured before being killed on July 1.
    A source at the parks agency told Reuters a second lion had been killed illegally by a foreign hunter in Zimbabwe on July 3. That has not been confirmed by officials.

    Thanks Joan. Paws crossed that Jerico is alive and well. I did order my tank top, too.

    Tks Joan (I think?) Might find myself compelled to buy me a T. Just sent off e-mail to co. to see if they will ship via Canada Post. UPS gives me grief, friend’s last order has not arrived after 1.5 wks, as delivery person could not be troubled to ring bell and actually told her to come way out to p/u. Plus some outlets re-charge for privilege of going out of one’s way. Well taking leaf from KJ’s style she called UPS and let them have it! I called vendor and told them how off-putting it is when one has delivery issues and I did not hold myself back. So we’ll see, ’cause these T’s are good quality and would be right for gym!
    Good news about Jericho, but still some jerk hunter murdered another lion! 😡

    For a sec thought sentence was for real! Cecil reminds me so much of Aslan in “Narnia.” And I guess of “Wizard of Oz” lion. What majesty!
    Well, placed my order with “Spreadshirt” as ships to Canada via local postal service, plus got neat $5 discount for filling in survey, which pays for shipping more or less. Plus GR8 colour choices, although I chose a combo that will go with lots o’ bottoms. This is what I will be sporting to spin class when it arrives, and will be spreading word about this outrage to those who are interested in hearing about it, as well as to those who are not all that interested. So there! 😐
