The Il Vinaio restaurant in downtown Mesa has received a bomb threat and around 250 emails from animal rights activists after it announced it would offer lion as a special to honour the football tournament.
"We thought that since the World Cup was in Africa ...that the lion burger might be interesting for some of our more adventurous customers," owner Cameron Selogie said.
The restaurant is offering the lion burgers at $21 (£14), served with spicy homemade chips and roast corn on the cob.
Selogie said that the lion being offered was raised at a US Department of Agriculture regulated free-range farm in Illinois - a fact that has soothed some protesters.
"Most of them, when we tell them the facts, that this is farm raised and it doesn't hurt the endangered animals, seem pretty reasonable," he said.
But Dr Grey Stafford from the World Wildlife Zoo said serving up a threatened species is sending the wrong message.

to be fair if there is a demand for it and people will pay then it will always happen and plus there all animals is not much different from eating a cow a chicken horse pig or anything yes there endangered but if its legal then how can u stop it?

(BTW not saying its right but its true if people want it and its there then they will eat it)
