前几天，关于津巴布韦的非洲狮王Cecil被一名美国牙医射杀并割头剥皮的报道在网上激起了对这种残忍射杀行为的谴责。
美国的知名动画大师Aaron Blaise（参与制作过《狮子王》、《花木兰》、《美女与野兽》）为这位非洲狮王近期制作了一幅作品已示缅怀。
Aaron Blaise, a former Disney animator who has worked on classic characters from Lion King, Beauty & The Beast, Mulan and other Disney classics, has created a beautiful and touching work of art to pay tribute to Cecil. The famous lion from Zimbabwe was recently killed by a dentist as a trophy.
“I am a HUGE animal lover and it drives me crazy when I see these beautiful creatures destroyed for no good reason,” Blaise writes on his blog. “As some of you may also know I was one of the animators on “The Lion King” – When I heard the news about Cecil I got inspired to create a tribute image. It’s not much but hopefully it will make people think.”

关于Cecil故事的相关新闻补充：据秘鲁《21世纪报》7月26日报道，日前，津巴布韦最著名的狮子明星塞西尔（Cecil）惨遭猎人剥皮割头，这一事件令津巴布韦国民极为震惊和愤慨。 狮子塞西尔生活在万基国家公园（Hwange National Park），因其英俊的外表以及照相机前悠闲自得的模样，被当地人认为是万基国家公园内最具明星气质的狮子。然而日前它被发现在距公园1000公里的私人土地上死亡。当地报道指出，塞西尔最初是被弓箭射伤，但是猎人紧追其两天，直到最后将其猎杀、剥皮并将它的头颅割下才肯罢休。
