Toy-maker Ty Inc. has created a "Cecil the Lion" Beanie Baby to raise funds for animal conservation efforts.
玩具製造商Ty已創作出「獅子塞西爾」的豆豆公仔（填充物為豆狀PVC的絨毛玩具），為動物保育倡議募款。
Creation of the toy comes after an American dentist was accused of killing the well-known lion named Cecil in Zimbabwe in an allegedly illegal hunt. The incident set off a worldwide uproar.
該玩具是在一名美國牙醫被控在一場據稱是非法獵殺的活動中，於辛巴威殺害名叫「塞西爾」的知名獅子後所創作。這起獵殺事件引起全球公憤。
Ty Inc. CEO Ty Warner said the company, based in the Chicago suburb of Westmont, hopes the Beanie Baby will raise awareness for animal conservation and "give comfort to all saddened by the loss of Cecil."
總部設在芝加哥郊區魏斯特蒙特的Ty玩具公司執行長泰．華納表示，希望塞西爾版的豆豆公仔能讓更多人關注動物保育，並藉此「安撫因失去塞西爾而感到悲傷的所有人」。
Ty said all profits from "Cecil the Lion" sales to retailers will go to the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit of the University of Oxford in England. The toy will go on sale at the end of September for $5.99. （AP）
該公司表示，賣給零售商的「獅子塞西爾」所有盈餘，都將捐給英國牛津大學的「野生動物保育研究小組」。這個玩具將於9月底開始販售，售價5.99美元。（美聯社）
