DescriptionCecil, the Zimbabwean black mane lion was barbarically killed in the summer of 2015! NJ Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker introduced the CECIL Act. Jimmy Kimmel passionately denounced the killing on his show. Aaron Blaise, the Lion King animator, created art dedicated to Cecil. Major US airlines voluntarily banned the transport of hunted animal heads. JUST STOP is my voice as a quilter to stop trophy hunting of animals approaching endangerment, endangered species, and barbaric hunting practices. Lion head attribution: http://www.vectorportal.com
