Last week, we told you about Tucson, Arizona, restaurant owner Bryan Mazon's plan to serve lion tacos as part of his "Exotic Taco Wednesdays" promotion. Apparently, thousands of people took to Facebook to ask Mazon to reconsider. And he did! Mazon announced that his restaurant will not be serving the king of the jungle after all.
Now that a lion has been saved from slaughter (or possibly from being shot on a cruel canned hunting ranch), you might want to take a moment to thank Mazon for making this lifesaving decision. Written by Michelle Sherrow
I'd be damned before I would ever thank him for relenting. He did it because of social pressure, not out of kindness.
that was very sweet of you Mr.Mazon
I will never thank that disgusting idiot. Probably the only reason he decided to pull lion tacos off the menu was because he received a lot of death threats(which he deserves).
So glad you changed your mind. You're setting a grat example for others!
Thank you for reconsidering this menu option. Lions are not meant to be consumee (if thats a word), and I feel you have made a great decision. Please reconsider all your "wild" menu options - its not meant to be.
I absolutely love tacos and even I think that this idea was ridicules. (Yes Beef Tacos.)
I have my vegan pet cat sitting on my lap as I write this. We both want to put in a call for this restaurant and all others to go vegan. Doing so will save animals, humans and the earth. A good thing to do for all of us.
Is this some kind of sick joke???!!??who do they think they are?
thanks for listening and sparing the lions. (don't suppose you'd consider veggie taco wednesdays instead?)
Mr. Mazon, although I am glad that you reconsidered serving the king of the jungle on a plate, it is apalling that you even thought of doing so in the first place. Please keep to your promise.
