I'm not lion.

RE: I'm not lion.
I'm honestly not getting why using an actual lion skin to make a lion costume is a problem.

It's a stupid reason for a lion to die.

Do we know that's why the lion died, though?  I haven't found any evidence that the lion was killed for the costume.

I would be less skeptical of you if you were calling ABBA the 4 Nazis.

Suppose the lion died of natural causes (in a zoo, for example) and the studio bought the carcass.  Would you still object to the use of the skin?

The "king of the jungle" line is a line of shit.

Lions are nasty animals - opportunistic scavangers that routinely kill their own kind. When lions actually DO hunt - it's the females which do.

If you want nobility in African animals - the hyena is a good candidate. They take care of each other. They never kill their young. (Lions do).

They just don't have the "good head of hair" that a male lion does.

Personally I would have less problems with someone hunting a lion than a hyena.

Better pelts.

Yes, considering the times. Don't get me wrong, I still love the movie for it's time. But I doubt the viewing public back then gave a shit about the words "fur" or "endangered".

Why would you object? I mean specifically - the lion is already dead, it wouldn’t have been a conservation issue (and I really can’t see MGM mounting an expedition to Africa to secure a lion costume).

OMG! You can't be that dense.

TIMES CHANGE, and the only reason I posted this thread was to say, "I didn't know that". 

Knowing what we know now, we look back and sanely say, "Damn".
