Fuck Cecil the stupid fucking lion.

I mean I get it. I have my limits and it's an animal and didn't deserve to die. But where the hell was all of this outrage when Trayvon Martin was shot, or when Michael Brown was shot, or when Jonathan Brown was choked to death or when Eric Garner was choked to death or when Sandra Bland was found dead in prison? Why the fuck wasn't Jimmy Kimmel choking up over the death of Tamir Rice? Ricky Gervais has no problems bitching about lions and dogs and shit all the goddamn time, but doesn't say shit about Rumain Brisbon. THE US IS INVESTIGATING THIS LIKE TWO DAYS AFTER IT HAPPENS. FUCKING DARREN WILSON DIDN'T EVEN GET INDICTED.

Man, complaining about animals is such an EASY Hollywood out when it comes to philanthropy. Complain about black lives being unimportant, and apparently that's a "sensitive" issue.

Does anybody know how many people in Zimbabwe die in a year, and for what reasons? Can the average person even point it out on a fucking map?

Goddammit.
