After the unlawful slaying of Zimbabwe's iconic Lion 'Cecil', the public generously donated an estimated half a million pounds to WildCRU, Oxford University.
It is disappointing that WildCRU have, to date, not collared a lioness from Cecil's pride, meaning that the hundreds of thousands of people who care for the future of this pride are constantly left without information. To include two unfounded articles claiming that cubs and indeed Jericho had been killed.
We, the undersigned, request that a percentage of the monies donated, be used to ensure that those working on the ground in Hwange are properly supported and that a collar be placed on a member of the remaining pride, so that we may be kept updated on their progress.
Thank you
