Way to go Ganz! Loved Webkinz before, but now I appreciate and respect Ganz as a company. Thanks. Awesome thing to do.
Ganz has always helped people and animals around the world. They are an awesome company.. Very giving to everyone they meet. They came here and visited the children’s hospital and that’s when i really became a serious follower of Webkinz and Ganz. Love their music cd. Wish they would have made more music video’s. Have a great day everyone..
Good for you! Every time I see your ad for the two lions, I immediately think of Cecil and Jericho. I’m glad you’re thinking of them too. And thanks for doing something to help the lions.
Hmmmm… I’ve never heard of these lions.. I think I’ll purchase them with my Birthday money!
To bring attention, awareness and donations towards Cecil and Jericho brings me great pride in the Ganz company and in these plush. Thank you.
Hands down agree with you strawberryswirls27, § doing this makes me not so upset about Webkinz X. (:
Hm. I don’t understand hunting for sport, no matter what the animal.
Yeah, I don’t think is pretty fair for animals, hunting for sport sounds horrible.
Me neither. The only hunting that should be allowed is for survival. If you kill a animal, use ALL the body parts. The Native Americans used the bones for tools, fur for clothes, meat, for, well you know, EATING! Point, is, don’t kill an animal just for killing. If it’s for survival, fine. If not, it’s just cruel.
You are so Right! Animals live with us on this planet! They also need to be treated right! I mean hunting is like bullying to animals!
Me neither. I understand when people hunt for sustenance, because they respect the animal and use everything wisely, but when people just hunt for the sake of it it’s very sad and disrespectful to nature. I’m glad that GANZ is helping to prevent this and raise awareness for protecting wild animals.
I’m sooo agree with you!!!
Agreed.
me either
If i had these lions, i will name them Simba and Mufasa.
When you say Mufasa, it sounds like youre saying “Movefaster!”
Who’s cecil? Who’s Jericho? ????????????????????????????????????????
Cecil is a lion that was illegally killed by a hunter in the wild. It’s very sad. I am definitely planning on buying this!
thats exactly what im wondering.
Cecil and Jericho were star attractions at a preserve in Zimbabwe. Cecil was lured away from the preserve and killed for sport. Jericho was thought to also be missing but was later found to be alive and well. I have wanted to go on a safari since I’ve been a very little girl – only to see these animals – never shoot them with anything but a camera!!
Cecil was a very famous African lion who was recently killed by an American trophy hunter. It’s a very sad story and it’s wonderful that Ganz is donating money to help protect other lions and other animals from suffering a similar fate.
Cecil is a lion who was killed and Jericho is his brother who is still alive but now protected
cecil is a lion that was killed by a hunter:( she was 13!!
Thats great!
Hmm, well it appears someone or something killed this ‘Cecil the Lion’. It’s nice of you to do this for them anyway! =]
Thanks Ganz for honoring these great lions! More awareness is protection for the majestic creatures.
I bought three of these sets. Great cause to get behind Ganz. Thanks for helping.
This is so sweet of you, WebkinzMom911 !! I am so glad that Ganz is doing this, we should have benefits like these more often! I will have to buy a set of these.
Awwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!
I made two comments before, I wonder why they where not approved :P Oh well, Yeah I am so glad to see § do this, I am so grateful to be seeing § Also taking part in remembering, and raising awareness for these beautiful animals ♥ It really was sad that Cecil was killed, And I certainly hope that the person who killed him is brought to justice. ☮ Protect don’t poach ☮
I completely agree! I was so sad and now at least justice and awareness will be brought to remember the beautiful creatures such as Cecil. What a great start, let’s do more! Peace and love, ~Warriors2002
How do you buy them…??!
I ordered mine from the Ganz estore. I don’t know how long it takes for them to arrive.
I just don’t get people these days. I mean, like why would you kill a animal for money? I mean he was like THE BEST LION EVER!!!!!
I don’t understand how some people can be so cruel to animals. SOME PEOPLE TREAT THEM LIKE THEY ARE MACHINES, and they don’t give them the love they need!!!!! Poor Cecil! I feel terrible for him.
i know who would kill a lion they are beutifull animals!!
