He should have consulted a witch doctor about the use of horses in Africa.
A witch doctor told Allan Quatermain not to use horses on a safari. He did and it turned out to be a disaster.

Good grief, even Illinois just elected a Republican governor. NE Virginia has destroyed that once great state, just as Chicago destroyed Illinois (but Illinois is starting “fight back”).
