The murder of Cecil the Lion by a prick dentist has inspired many to come out in support of WildCRU, the group that was monitoring the lion. Jimmy Kimmel made a riveting and emotional speech and raised money a ton of money for the organization, Betty White lambasted the dentist, one of the artists behind The Lion King created a tribute, and now Cara Delevingne wants to do her part.
To raise money for WildCRU, Delevingne is auctioning off her personal TAG Heuer through eBay with all proceeds going to fund the wildlife conservation group. "The killing of Cecil the Lion was a tragedy," Delvingne writes on the Ebay page. "Today JOIN ME to help the scientists who care about the future of wild lions in Africa and work very hard on their conservation. Ahead of the official sale of my TAG Heuer Signature Edition I decided to auction my personal timepiece prototype." Delevingne goes on to mention that she wore the watch on multiple occasions, including during the Monaco Grand Prix.
At the time of this writing, the bid is up to £7,100, roughly $10,100, with two days left in the auction. If you don't have that kind of cash on hand you could always show your support for Cecil the Lion in... other ways.
