BINGO.

Even if the studio didn't use a hunted lion, back then, big game hunting was popular. Remind me to keep you on speed dial for my next hurricane.

Big game hunting is STILL popular.  Repugnant, but popular.

And you’re still assuming the lion was killed to make the costume.

People kill animals for their pelts because they can make money from selling the pelts. No demand, less killing. People kill 5,000 pound rhinos for their horns, the rest is left to rot in the veldt.

The movie was made 80 years ago.  Today a costume could be made that would look better than the real thing used when the movie was made.

Wait - why is this an issue? ...now?
The casual attitude carries through.
Please explain.

An 80+ year old movie had a costume made of an animal pelt...it most likely wouldn't happen today for various reasons.

Yes we have a couple of Trump sperm proving that.


What does that have to do with the fact that the SANE world rejects that now?

Nothing. Lots of things are popular that are rejected by the SANE world - lax firearm law enforcement, ABBA, pizza, cigarettes. Lots more.

Very fair point. I’ve never questioned Brian’s honesty.
