One would think the exercise required for a middle aged man to scale a 20 ft fence would sober him up a bit; maybe he would reach the top of the fence and think :
“What the heck am I doing? That Lion is lying there waiting for me!”

A rare white lion cub on the black market will bring a lifetime of earnings to a poor desperate Ghanian idiot. Apparently enough to literally risk death in an obviously suicidal stunt.

“In the jungle... The mighty jungle...
The lion sleeps tonight.”

With a full belly.

Maybe in Africa they have different culture.
Maybe “The law of the jungle” applies?

Which lion would they kill?

There was four cats, two adults and two cubs.
Elimating the cubs, which adult lion did the deed?

My money’s on mamma but maybe it will as the poppa?

I doubt they will put the lion down, since this is Ghana, and policies there are probably not as driven by the same fear of litigation as policies are in the lawyer-infested United States.

A 20ft tall fence, at that.
He was really determined to die.

I think some zoos have signs saying "Do Not Feed the Animals."

Maybe they need to add signs saying, "Do Not Steal the Animals."

Might have been the poppa.

The females hunt but the males tend to kill intruders.

When you have a man killer it is generally a male.

Could be.

Watched an documentary where seven female lions on a fallen tree were surrounded by hyenas but didn’t fight their way out. Three male members heard their cries and out of nowhere else hey charged the hyenas and torn them to shreds.

That “toxic” male energy saved the female lions.

Not only that, but did he give a thought about how he was going to get back over the fence carrying a 40 lb cub? Hold muh beer and watch this!

Protecting the pride is the job of the males. Whether it is fighting off other male lions or any other type or predator.

That’s right. Those Cubs might be “Baby Lions”, but they look about as sturdy as a full grown Samoan Husky Dog and just as heavy. If carried, they will be squirming and wiggling around trying to get back to Mom and Little Brother Cub. Not a static weight that doesn’t move.
