How sad never mind move on

Team work.

Shame the animals can't post the photos on twitter/facebook

Good.

Good riddance.

I hope it took ages and was agonising. And I hope they pissed and shat on his face whilst they were at it.

Made my day.

Most of the poachers are just trying to feed their families.

It's the people who buy the stuff that should be vilified

This news does not sadden me unduly.

They did end up feeding a family.

A family of Lions. :thumbsup:

I was hoping for pictures. Disappointed.

This did make me chuckle :

A search party struggled to find the body but eventually found a human skull and a pair of trousers on Thursday.

Sorry, even poverty isn't an excuse to mutiliate or kill rare and innocent animals like that.

Anyone who is prepared to do that deserves exactly what's coming to them.

Although we kill innocent animals in their billions and eat them.

There is an element of hypocrisy here (which I count myself as part of) and Vegans cannot be challenged on this.

Surely no animals life is worth more than the other. They are all sentient beings. There is much rallying against the killing of dogs or cats for food but an Indian's horror at a cow being killed is considered irrelevant.

Whether an animal is rare or not, for me, shouldn't be the question. Killing animals is either fine or it's not. I see no in between.

Now I'm off to eat my chicken sandwich and wallow in my hypocrisy.

Spoken with direct knowledge from thousands of miles away!

Already killed (and therefore dead pre-lions) by the elephant.

Eating a chimp, dog or dolphin is a lot worse than eating a chicken or a fish, as the former are intelligent animals that demonstrate social awareness. Chickens and fish don't know what the **** is going on.

The blue touchpaper is lit. Stand back folks. :lolol:

Indeed. Easy to judge the poachers in this scenario isn’t it.

Perhaps this should be a thing. Rather than prison, poachers should be tied up and fed to the lions.

Lions like to keep their food alive for some time. It wouldn't be a nice way to go.

Pretty sure that in the past this was fairly common
