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.

I'm thinking a couple test sites wouldn't hurt, New York's Central Park and LA's Sunset strip.
We conservatives should be willing to try new things . . .

My post was to imply that the lions could only eat 2 or 3 fat Americans before becoming full.

"but it prevents 34 year old spinsters"

Kind of reminds me of an article in The Onion - "Twelve year old Ethiopian boy laments middle age.

You don't have to outrun the lions, just your buddies.

"It has been determined that there was over 100 pairs of running shoes sitting 3 termite hills over."

Yep, and the Village Chief is at fault for leaving those running shoes in quicksand.

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

The only bow and arrows in Africa is in American movies.
They have fire harden spears and never developed the technology of a sling or bow and arrow.
