Just when fans were beginning to forget about Josh Duggar and his sexual molestation scandal as it was becoming old news, Jessa Duggar is heating up the social networks once again. This time around, the often outspoken Duggar family member has angered her fans by posting a photo of a "baby" lion with the hashtag #SaveTheLions, while supposedly criticizing those who have voiced their anger over the killing of Cecil the Lion.

According to reports this week, many anti-choice conservatives along with Jessa have been comparing the killing of the lion by a Minnesota-based dentist to abortion. For them, the public seems to be more concerned over the illegal killing of Cecil in Zimbabwe than they are about the existence of abortion.

Cecil was a 13-year-old male Southwest African lion who primarily lived in the Hwange National Park in Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe. Cecil was shot by Walter Palmer, an American recreational big-game hunter, who had wounded him with an arrow from a crossbow.

Jessa's fans are none too happy with her post and are voicing their opinions on her Instagram page.

Some comments included, "This is so incredibly ignorant! It's still gods creature! If you were so Christian posting something like this would have never of crossed your mind! I was a fan... Until now....." along with, "People can have passion for both things babies and animals so this is so stupid and close minded."

So far, Jessa herself has not commented on the criticism. Her family's reality show, 19 Kids & Counting, was yanked off the air by TLC last month.
