A customer came into my father's shop the other day, and after chatting with him for a few minutes, he revealed that he suffers from a particularly virulent form of lymphoma. The gentleman has gone through chemo and is now awaiting a bone marrow transplant. He said he's got a fairly nice pension and some retirement money put away so he's going about doing whatever he wants to for the time being.
One of the things he said he's done is to go to Africa to do some hunting. This is where his story got... odd. He says to my dad, "You know you can buy a person?" HUH???? Yeah, he said you can buy a person in some places in Africa. Apparently, some places are so poor, if you have a few chickens or a goat or something worthwhile to them, you can buy, for your hunt, what is known as "lion bait." Hmmm... I wonder if Danny Glover is aware of this.
"Lion bait"... I heard that and didn't excatly know what to say. A family or a villiage elder will sell you a human being to be lion bait, today in Africa, but American corporations are expected to pay reparations for any profits they may have earned while operating in a society where slavery was legal.
Actual 'Lion bait' or just something/someone to act as a 'Lion attractant'?
