"In the article it says they are going to kill all the lions."

What amazes me is that there was any hesitation about killing the entire pride. Once predators get accustomed to a prey source, they will continue to see it as a potential food source as long as they live.

Since the world has no shortage of lions, the hesitation is unjustifiable except as some GangGreen delusion that man and lion can co-exist without the lions being kept afraid of man by guns.

The first Yellowstone Park Chief Naturalist, William P. Simpson summed up the situation on page 109 of his Yellowstone Park Nature Book where he says that wolves "learned to their great sorrow that nearly every man and boy was armed."

Simpson attributed said prevalence of firearms to be the reason Americans never suffered the continuous wolf attacks recorded in Eastern Europe and Asia.

Might I point out that when the GangGreen crowd banned hunting cougar with dogs, the approximately 100 year long lack of cougar attacks on humans shortly came to a halt.

As the now unafraid cougar began to first grow accustomed to not being killed by any human who saw them, then to attacking, then to killing and eating humans, GangGreen defended the cats all the way.

Don't worry about killing off all predators. They will be here long after America has vanished.

Worry more about survival of the society that allows you to live like an American, not an Ethiopian.
