Poachers are already taking their share and though it may be legal in corrupt South Africa I prefer they not be taken by thrill-seekers.
Now if this boy was a man-eater, terrorizing villages, that would be different.
I guess if you're a big game hunter, you need to kill 'em while they're still on the planet.
Just my opinion. ...good hunting, gotta run.
Hey Cajun,
When you get back to see how I responded your final comment, I’m sure you will be saddened to see that I left it alone.
The response would have been a dandy.
“The point is lions are not over populated and don’t need thinning out.”
Sad to see that you have been misinformed on this point.
The struggle to maintain adequate habitat for lions is very real. If those lions are not valuable, then the habitat quickly goes away. The only viable method found so far to make the lions valuable enough to justify the maintenance of their habitat is trophy hunting fees.
