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.

Never blame Nugent. He is always ready to kill it and grill it. If I were Ted, I wouldn't want to go to Ethiopia for any reason.

Seriously though.....at least the lions are eating to survive. On the LA freeways people kill one another just because they're mad and have a short fuse that day.
In Detroit, people kill people one another for little rocks just to feel better for a while and to steal $20.
Mother nature has her way of taking care of 'those in the wild'.

"In the article it says they are going to kill all the lions."
What amazes me is that there was any hesitation about killing the entire pride. Once predators get accustomed to a prey source, they will continue to see it as a potential food source as long as they live.
Since the world has no shortage of lions, the hesitation is unjustifiable except as some GangGreen delusion that man and lion can co-exist without the lions being kept afraid of man by guns.
The first Yellowstone Park Chief Naturalist, William P. Simpson summed up the situation on page 109 of his Yellowstone Park Nature Book where he says that wolves "learned to their great sorrow that nearly every man and boy was armed."
Simpson attributed said prevalence of firearms to be the reason Americans never suffered the continuous wolf attacks recorded in Eastern Europe and Asia.
Might I point out that when the GangGreen crowd banned hunting cougar with dogs, the approximately 100 year long lack of cougar attacks on humans shortly came to a halt.
As the now unafraid cougar began to first grow accustomed to not being killed by any human who saw them, then to attacking, then to killing and eating humans, GangGreen defended the cats all the way.
Don't worry about killing off all predators. They will be here long after America has vanished.
Worry more about survival of the society that allows you to live like an American, not an Ethiopian.

speaking of a**holes, wonder how long it would take the pride to devour this creature?...
That would be the same dilemma that faced that cartoon kid on the old Tootsie Pop commercial (how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? The world may never know...)
