Yet another thing Trump has done to screw up this country! He's out there killing lions now. And where do lions come from? AFRICA! And where do black people originate from? AFRICA! What more evidence do you need to confirm his RACISM? Get it? Dead lions=Trump wants blacks dead!

Torture SetThemFree

I'm sure Congress will investigate this too.

Are they still African lions if they live in North America?

Awww rest easy lions. Hugs to the keepers.

Yet Nancy Pelosi lives on

Only out in Frisco and the Diego County zoo buddy

Looks like they were starving

ut oh. peta will be all over this. HOW DARE old age and natural causes KILL these majestic creatures!?

My wife and I were at the San Diego zoo last week and saw this majestic animal. Sad!

Old things die. Deal with it sweethearts.

Socialism kills

A lioness died today in Seattle, too.

Awwww

'Two beloved elderly lions' Who would've eaten you alive if given half the chance

While in zoo custody? Sounds corrupt and intentional. An investigation is in order.... Nancy?

This headline makes it sound like it was a murder-suicide.

I was just st the SD Zoo last month and saw M’bari roar. Gets to you when you think of what they do in the wild. For those who think all Zoo animals should be set free, remember that many of these are rescues as well as breeding pairs for endangered species.

RIP Harambe

Did Trump cover it up?

15 people shot in Chicago over the weekend. Soooo fuuuck off about lions

Animals are not for DISPLAY. All Zoos in the World should be transformed into rehabilitation/medical centres for Animals to be treated and set back into the Wild!!

If you really consider something beloved, set it free.

What did u do California!!
