Summary:
In 2015, an American hunter named Walter Palmer shot and killed a
lion
named
Cecil
. The
lion
was one of dozens slain each year in Zimbabwe, which legally licenses the hunting of big
cats
. But
Cecil
's
death
sparked unprecedented global outrage, igniting thousands of media reports about the peculiar circumstances surrounding this hunt. At the center of the controversy was Dr. Andrew Loveridge, the zoologist who had studied
Cecil
for eight years. In
Lion
Hearted
, Loveridge pieces together, for the first time, the fascinating
life
and murky details of this beloved
lion
's slaying. More than a gripping detective story,
Lion
Hearted
is an exploration of humanity'
s
relationship with the natural world and an attempt to keep this majestic species from disappearing. "Lions are one of the most beloved animals on the planet," Loveridge observes. "They are the national symbol of no fewer than fifteen countries. . . . Surely, we can think of a better way to save the wild animals we love besides killing them."
