It’s like The Lion King, except the uncle is the good guy.
Over the past week, there has been an outpouring of anger and sadness at the death of a beloved Zimbabwean lion named Cecil.

The lion, which was being monitored by Oxford University scientists, was lured out of a conservation area and shot by an American dentist.

Zimbabwe government ministers want the dentist extradited to face charges, and the U.S. government made contact with him on Friday, authorities told BuzzFeed News.

Adding to the sadness, conservationists had warned Cecil's six cubs would also likely be killed by a rival male lion seeking to establish dominance in the pride.
