He’s shooting way too low. He could be president some day. He’s much more qualified than the current kenyan in the white house

I guess that is why there are no lions around during Christmas?

We used to have that type of spirit of innovation here. It is rare now. Glad to see it is blooming elsewhere.

Of course it is. Can you imagine how many environmental impact studies and legal checks against the Endangered Species List--not to mention EPA oversight--would have to be done before this system could be implemented in the "Land of the Free"?

He looks unusual, with pants that fit, and are pulled all the way up.

Under enviro-communism, the Department of the Inferior’s National Park System has made it illegal to view wildlife after dark with an artificial light.

The boy from Kenya would have been jailed by a uniformed member of the Armed & Rangerous long before he could have developed his idea.

“Animal Absurdity Uber Alles” - enviro-communism’s rallying cry.

Of course only the clever females are fooled by the light because the male lions are lazy and “almost” worthless.

I really hope he patents that light contraption idea.

explaining that on the first day the lions saw the scarecrow and fled, but on the second they realized the scarecrow wasn't moving and killed several cows.

The lions can learn. Eventually, the flashing lights will become common enough the lions no longer fear them. Then they won't be safe walking around with the flashlights either.

A rancher in Colorado used the same system to stop wolves from raiding his sheep herd at night. The EPA, Co Wildlife and Dept of the Interior at the urging of PETA stopped the practice, imprisoned and fined the rancher for violating endangered species acts and using cruel and inhuman devices to blind wolves during their hunt.

DO you have documentation for these claims? I’d like to use them as argments with libtards, but are you just doing sarcasm or is this a real case and can you provide documentation?

Smart kid. Good idea. Now if he can just learn how to tie his shoes properly.

I’ve had to design facilities with special “Dark Skies” lighting to reduce the impact on migration patterns of endangered species of birds before.

I believe his shoes are tied, or are designed to slip on without tying the laces. If you look closely, you can see velcro straps around the ankle, which are not hooked closed.

You see his problem? His hosts bought him nice new American clothes to wear for his speech. The jeans fit well, close to the leg, and they aren’t wide enough to go over the top of his hiking shoes. So he put the jeans-leg inside his shoes. Now the shoes don’t close tightly around his ankle. Ah, kids! But I’ve done this too and I’m not a kid.

He’s cute. He’s smart. He could go a long way. May he grow, learn, and then help the world.

That kid’s the kind of immigrant we should welcome.
