STOP THE HUNTING On the 1st of July 2015, Cecil, a well-known Hwange lion was illegally shot by Minnesota Dentist, Walter Palmer. Mr Palmer had paid $50,000 for the "pleasure" of hunting the great animal. Cecil was lured out of the protected environment of the Hwange National Park and hunted with a bow and arrow. This blow didn't kill him, however, and he was eventually tracked down some 40 hours later and finished off with a gun. All proceeds from the song and the video are being donated to the AWARE Trust of Zimbabwe The wonderful photographs were provide by Ann Warner lyrics This is a story of shame and hope This is a story of sport gone wrong 50,000 dollars and a 13 year old lion A lesson we should have learned Many years ago Stop the hunting stop the killing Lets protect the beauty here They're not ours to abuse But only placed in our care To be preserved A southwest lion mature and so assured Tempted down from his place of rest Brought down so easily with bow and arrow Has shone a spotlight on a pastime so absurd A worldwide awakening not too late to change Tracks: Bass 535 Drums Nashville pop 16 swing Guitars 2441, 1581 and 1582 Fiddle 1111 Loops Tamborine

America has a solid hunting culture -- but trophy hunting is pretty much has to go. It has never made any sense except to feed the ego of some weird folks. If the lions need to be culled to reduce local over-population, let the rangers do it.
Good song, well crafted!

A pretty and moving song Joanne! This is a tragic story. I don't know why it is ever legal to hunt lions, or many other animals. It's great that you're speaking out against it. Take care. Greg

The story of this trophy hunt is beyond pathetic and makes me angry to even think about it.
Nice topical song. Hope it helps.

Hello Joanne,
A good song about a sad story....
It was all over the news here in Holland too.
We like the acoustic basis of the song, a very good use of the acoustic guitar realtracks.
As usual, vocals and backing vocals are very well done.
Rob & Anne-Marie

An excellent write, performance and production Joanne. It is so sad to what happened to the lion. No excuse nor redemption.

Phew. Things have been hectic. Am finally getting round to responding to all your posts. The video is having a bit of a run on Facebook with the emotions all running quite high around Cecil. America has a solid hunting culture -- but trophy hunting is pretty much has to go. It has never made any sense except to feed the ego of some weird folks. If the lions need to be culled to reduce local over-population, let the rangers do it.
Good song, well crafted! Kevin, thanks so much. Glad to see you around again. I know I keep asking you this but when are we going to see you on the jelly again? A pretty and moving song Joanne! This is a tragic story. I don't know why it is ever legal to hunt lions, or many other animals. It's great that you're speaking out against it. Take care. Greg Greg, thank you. It should not be legal to hunt. There has to be another way to raise money for conservation. Plus the money generated from hunting has a way of ending up in other people’s pockets!

The story of this trophy hunt is beyond pathetic and makes me angry to even think about it.
Nice topical song. Hope it helps.
Josie, me too. The fact that somebody can pay $50,000 to hunt a lion is appalling. It is even more frightening to think about where this money went (or rather could have gone because one would hope that it has now been seized). My feeling is that this particular story came to light because the correct palms were not greased in Zim. Hello Joanne,
A good song about a sad story....
It was all over the news here in Holland too.
We like the acoustic basis of the song, a very good use of the acoustic guitar realtracks.
As usual, vocals and backing vocals are very well done.
Rob & Anne-Marie Rob and Anne-Marie. Thank you so much for your kind comments and also for commenting on Facebook. It is appreciated.

Joanne, When I first heard this story, I immediately thought of you. Good job getting on it right away. These are such beautiful and majestic creatures, all trophy hunting should be banned. Turns out that dentist has a home here in Fl. Yesterday someone spray painted LION KILLER on his garage door. It's good to see so many people pissed off and speaking up for a such a worthy cause. Your productions are definitely getting stronger each time. Good job! Tom
