The killing of Cecil the Lion has been a prominent news story recently. Expressions of outrage are everywhere. I'm sad, too. And horrified. What kind of person would do that?
It is right to be sad. But I would rather not know about human deaths in Zimbabwe, Africa, and all over the world. Since the media rarely reports on them, perhaps there are other people who also don't want to know.
Why? Is it because we feel vulnerable in the face of human suffering, but feel empowered to protect animals? Is it because of racism? Or is there some other reason?
What do you think?
