Some people tend to be conveniently and easily distracted and prone to outrage.
The Cecil the Lion incident has not only whipped up some SJW outrage as well as death threats, but conveniently drove all sorts of important news stories that actually affect people and the world right out of the headlines.
Indeed the attention paid to the death of one lion may lead to a whole new Zebra protest movement:
After all, #BlackAndWhiteLivesMatter.
Not to be outdone by the display of national outrage over the death of a lion thousands of miles away, the Detroit Papers are now full of outrage over the killing of some geese.
Yes, the killing of 4 common geese and the injury of 2 more in a roadway incident by an as yet unknown motorist, in an act that may have been intentional or simply accidental, out in Mount Clemens has filled the headlines:
The Detroit Free Press: Did driver purposely run over geese in Clinton Township?
The Detroit News: Geese find new homes after several killed by motorist
Note that now some of the Macomb County Sheriff's best detectives are on the case to find a motorist that ran over geese blocking a road. I'm glad crime in the Clem must be at an all time low. Misbegotten outrage does tend to lead to a mis-allocation of resources.
It's a sad commentary on the state of media today. Considering their focus on trivialities, to the media the world situation may be desperate but it's not serious.
Oh, and another thing: Heh.

"Pay attention to any dead animal story that we can find, because otherwise you'll hear about Planned Parenthood dissecting dead babies for the cash."
+1 on Murph... When that crap is the 'lead', you know there is some bad stuff that is being ignored... Shootings in Chiraq, Detroit, Bal'more, the Iran deal, etc...
As someone said over at Weasel Zippers, Cecil has ceased to produce methane so why aren't the greenies happy?
And there's another faux storm brewing because a female big game hunter is thumbing her nose. I don't care for killing just to kill. You can track and hunt with a camera. But a hunter kills a gazelle it's bad but when Cecil kills one it's good?
