HARARE, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Villagers took revenge on a lion that killed their livestock by barbecuing and eating it, Zimbabwe's state-owned Sunday Mail newspaper said.
"It ate our animals, so it is only fair that we eat it too," a villager said. The paper said some believed they would get lion-like bravery and strength from the meat.
The lion -- part of a pride that terrorised the Zimbabwean village for more than six months -- was shot dead by parks authorities. In an unusual move, villagers demanded the carcass.
Well, they are omnivorous, but the meat they get would be mostly found kills or garbage, and salmon in season.... their diet is predominantly berries.
>>>>Lion farts are reportedly the grossest farts on earth
How about I just take your word on that?
Oh. So you mean they aren't hunters?
Why bear attacks then?
Keep it soaked (and I mean ice water) with water changes until you are changing mostly clear water.
Then you steak can be frozen until you are ready to cook.
And I'm serious about the stew. I have never tasted a better meat in one.
So, how do you like your lion cooked?
Black bear are not hunters.... and attacks are rare. Scrapes that do happen usually involve babies. Black bear are more likely to attack your ice chest than you, if they wander in to camp.
I only brought it up because in the lower 48, people who have tried bear meat probably are eating black bear.
Brown bears, Kodiaks and Grizzlies, are quite different, and their mileage varies.
Understood.
Bear attacks in my neck of the woods are usually due to wounded bears, or momma bear getting annoyed by someone being vacant.
Grizzlies are unpredictable compared to black bears.
I have no idea what makes them tick.
Nope, you have to check that out for yourself. Do not trust my word on this.
Drat, should have waited for your response first!!
You're sadistic.
But that's in one of those "That's mean, but funny" ways.
And judging from sis' cat.. Lions will be a terrible foe indeed in that respect.
Makes sense. Thanks for the tidbits!
I 'smell' a setup!
Professional courtesy I suppose..
What about poultry? They are omnivorous. They aren't our predator; but aren't they considered predators?
The dog in the house weighs about 60 lbs and farts WAY too much. But Reagan's farts knock the dog and me unconscious.
It's annoying as hell.
I take it you don't burn too many candles at home :))
My sis' cat 'Shadowraycer' will head into the room with the litterbox..
and then run from the room when he's done.
A second's worth of waiting will tell one WHY he's running.
I used to call him a "gas giant".
He's 10, and weighs in at 18 pounds.
(AND he's a big 'momma's boy' too!)
Replacing windows became a financial problem.
Lion. The other white meat.
