An ‘animal communicator’ claims to have spoken to the spirit of Cecil the lion, and it turns out he was quite a deep thinker.

In what is we like to think was a Mufasa-type appearance in the clouds, Karen Anderson says she ‘connected’ with the animal after he was killed in Zimbabwe by dentist Walter James Palmer.

I know, we’re sceptics too, but let’s just go with it for a moment.

Rather than wanting revenge on Mr Palmer, Cecil is apparently more concerned with moving on.



Cecil wants closure.

‘Let not the actions of these few men defeat us or allow darkness to enter our hearts. If we do then we become one of them,’ Anderson’s Facebook post claims he said.

‘Raise your vibration and allow this energy to move us forward. What happened does not need to be discussed as it is what it is.

‘Take heart my child, I am finer than ever, grander than before as no one can take our purity, our truth or our soul. Ever.

‘I am here. Be strong and speak for all the others who suffer needlessly to satisfy human greed. Bring Light and Love and we will rise above this.’

Anderson, who describes herself as a psychic medium, said the words brought tears to her eyes.

Reactions to Cecil’s words have ranged from the heartfelt: ‘Moved my mom and I to tears. I have been very upset about this but his words allow for healing and love’, to the not-so-heartfelt: ‘so you talked to a dead lion… okaaaay.’

We’ll just say RIP Cecil.
