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.

One would think there'd be a rifle or 2 in each village. Lacking that I thought they traditionally used bows.

Not much meat on those bones.

Kind of like chicken wings, a lot of work for so little meat.

Here we go. Imagine two of these guys, hunting as a team, in full daylight, for FUN! And taking the bodies back to a cave for snacks later.

"If this had happened in America the lions could have only eaten a couple of people. Maybe three at the most." From the size of some I see, I'd say ONE would feed the pride for a week!

Seems as though the kitties are the only ones eating to excess in Ethiopia.

Again, it sounds like a possible border patrol solution.
