Celebrate the World Cup With Lion Burgers?

If the US beats Algeria today, soccer fans in Phoenix, Arizona, can celebrate with a World Cup-inspired lion burger, served with spicy fries and corn on the cob for the lion-sized price of $21. A Phoenix restaurant is offering the lion burgers in honor of World Cup host nation South Africa, much to the outrage of animal rights activists, who've greeted the burger with a bomb threat and hundreds of angry emails.

Lion meat is legal in the US, and the meat the restaurant is mixing together with beef to make the burgers comes from a lion raised on a free range farm in Illinois. "In Africa they do eat lions, so I assume if it's OK for Africans to eat lions then it should be OK for us," the restaurant's owner tells the Daily Telegraph. (More lion stories.)
