Save Sylvester the lion.

Because I love animals and why kill Sylvester? He is only doing what comes naturally. How did he get out? Surely they should keep a close watch on the fence

Die Here se opdrag was duidelik....bewaar....As die park sy heining instand hou was die leeu nie buite nie... ons loop ons heinings per voet om...sit nie in die bakkie en glo dis in n goeie toestand nie...as elke dier wat uit die park "loop"/ontsnap geskiet word gaan daar kort voor lank geen diere in ons KNP wees nie.

ek hou van n leeu, en omdat hy hom nie laat inhok nie , maak hom steeds die koning van Afrika

Because Sylvestor does not deserve to die as a result of human negligence! He did not damage the fence and wardens ought to have checked fence more frequently!

Sanparks must repair the fence or move Sylvester to a more protected home for him .

Because the reason for euthanasia is ridiculous. He's a lion with a natural instinct to kill and besides he shouldn't have been able to get out if his I'm enclosure - perhaps management of the park need to stand up and take responsibility for this instead of taking the 'easy way out'.

I just hate animal cruelty and love any animal

We are meant to protect the animals not kill them when their numbers are already declining. Sanparks start doing your duty. Shame on you.

To give an innocent animal a voice! We must protect nature against cruel human beings!!!

Dis n goeie idee hoop net die flippen mense sien dat daar mense is wat ni die jng leeu wil dood he ni hoop my stem help om sy lewe te red

It didn't ask to be caged. Would we humans not lash out if we were caged

Nico van der Walt has NO right to make such a short-sighted and inhumane decision !! Just take Sylvester back to the Kgalagadi where he came from - it is clear by now that he does NOT like Beaufort West and wants only to go back to his beloved Kalahari !!!!

The Lion must live , it is inhumane to kill an innocent creature.

Because it is cruel and unnecessary. There MUST be a better solution. He is just doing what his species does.

Because Sylvester deserves to live and roam free. Its not his fault if the fences are not up to standard.

Is it the LION or the poor maintenance on the fences! Stop killing our wildlife fix your fence or rehome him!!! Bas...rds

This is an outrage to destroy an animal because his enclosure needs revision!

Very worthy cause! Awesone initiative.

We have a responsibility to care and protect animals - to many animals have died because we simply have not made a good enough effort to provide them with a safe natural habitat

Not his fault. Handlers fault. Period!

Hoekom hom uitsit as hulle hom net kan skuif.?????????

Animals have rights as well.

The lion just does what comes naturally - he goes walkies & it's not HIS fault that the fence is broken.

why should Sylvester be put down when PEOPLE can't take care of him the proper way. make sure he is safe and make sure it stays that way

We have enough killing
