Do you know that lions kill about 70 people a YEAR in Tanzania ALONE, and are responsible for about 250 human deaths a YEAR?

Does that not make up for the unfortunate death of ONE lion who wandered off the preserve?

Do you know that the International Union for the Conservation of Nature estimates that trophy-hunting tourists legally kill some 600 lions each year. The lions need to pick up their game.

Lions would likely be extinct in Africa if not for the game preserves which are maintained for Safaris and sport hunting.

I don't know the particulars of this Lion but most often the paid bunts are to cull an older male who isn't prime breeding age and is killing younger males or ask ally being a total a-hole in the animal kingdom.
