What a terrible headline. These lions are not dying. They are being
allowed to live out normal lives, without reproducing. (In fact, they
are taking rather good care of these lions.) This is sensationalism by
Reuters, a news agency that has already openly admitted faking pictures
of the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict.

I used to respect Reuters as a news agency. Now, I wouldn't believe them
if all I wanted to know was what time it is.
