Bryan Mazon, the Tucson taco-shop owner who was going to make lion meat the main (mane?) attraction of a taco party next month, is now nixing plans to serve Simba, the Tucson Weekly reports. Citing unspecified “threats” as the reason, Mazon posted on Facebook, “Due to concern for safety of our families, customers, vendors, and friends we will not be selling African Lion Tacos on Feb. 16th, 2011.” [Tuscon Weekly]
