ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) -- A pride of lions has killed and devoured 20 villagers, wounded 10 others and eaten at least 70 cattle in southern Ethiopia in the past week, police said Tuesday.

The attacks have forced at least 1,000 people to flee their homes in Hadia Zone, in the Southern Nation and Nationalities People State, 400 kilometers (250 miles) north of Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, according to a police statement.

Are you kidding? A lion in China would wind up in a stew pot before he could blink.

This is a must see of two guys who go out on a safari in a zebra suit. It was all fun and games until some lions came in for a closer look.

Any hungry animal will eat people.....they saw dogs in New Orleans chomping on dead people.....people eat people if we are hungry enough. IF they take away my food, i'm heading for the first democrat I see.

I'll just bet there is some sort of "You can't kill lions" law behind all this.

You beat me to it. National Geographic had a report on mane less male tsavo lions last year and they are more aggressive than in other areas due to lack of resources.

"I'll just bet there is some sort of "You can't kill lions" law behind all this."

You bet correctly. May I suggest checking post 131 for more details?

No---don't worry. They're going to kill all the lions. Happy now?

[Fawn]

In the article it says they are going to kill all the lions.

It's hard to imagine the horror.

Paging Val Kilmer.

The Ghost and the Darkness is an excellent movie and based on a true story from the late 1800's, similar to this tragedy. I hope the Ethopians can get the problem under control.
