Find Out The Generous Thing That The Makers Of Beanie Babies Are Doing For Cecil The Lion
By now, Cecil the lion's death, which came at the hands of Minnesota dentist and "recreational hunter" Walter Palmer, has been covered by just about every media outlet in the world. But the outpouring of contempt for the tragedy has sparked a resurgence of public conversation around wildlife conservation - something that's been grievously absent for years.
Organizations are coming out of the woodwork to take a stand for our rapidly deteriorating animal kingdom, setting up wildlife initiatives of their own. Recently, Ty Inc, the makers of "Beanie Babies," have jumped on the wagon, announcing the manufacturing of a commemorative "Cecil the Lion" Beanie Baby in his honor.
“Hopefully, this special Beanie Baby will raise awareness for animal conservation and give comfort to all saddened by the loss of Cecil,†said Ty Warner, CEO of Ty Inc.
