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.

I wonder if the lions would like fries with those villagers?

Wow... That's horrible... Something out of a horror movie.
Perhaps Ethiopia should open up the country to lion hunting for a while. Seriously, there are plenty of people who would love to bag one.

This is why you never hear about lion attacks in China. The lions just end up hungry an hour later anyway.

Oh man!
That is one of my favorite stories. What was in the movie "The Ghost and the Darkness" wasn't as near as facinating as the truth.
And did you see the picture of the hunter with the first of the lions he shot? (I'll see if I can find it)
It was a monster!

If this had happened in America the lions could have only eaten a couple of people. Maybe three at the most.
