    Old country saying:

    “Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you” (except usually pronounced ‘bar’).

    does remind me a bit of the Little Bighorn.

    of course in America the wildlife authorities would now have to go out and shoot the offending lions.

    i got a calendar from http://www.defenders.org/calendar … actually I didn’t get it from them, but from someone who did. now I know what day it is, and my dogs have a pinup calendar for their shop.

    i thought about those wolves who were probably doing okay where they were. then some good people came along and tranquilized them and relocated them to where the ranchers will shoot them for doing what wolves do to survive.

    Do you favor the death penalty for other crimes besides poaching?

      Welcome to Angry Bear. First posts always go into moderation.

      As to your comment? Lions do not put their kin, neighbors, and alike to death for nonsense reasons as humans do. No humans participated in this event and subsequently none died. The story has been identified as a false one. Think of the justice though, animals 5, humans zero. Oh, forgot this: http://www.snopes.com/pride-lions-kills-five-poachers-injures-three-others-zimbabwe/

    I know of a dental surgeon that just got back from South Africa. He came back with many dead animals in photos of every kind allowable. It looked like he killed the whole zoo.I do not understand why some people feel the need to kill things because I love animals and hug and play with my dog as she licks my face. I know that some people treat humans with less respect than animals but not me. I love all peoples and all animals and respect their kingdom and trier right to live and exist. Some say that humans can be worse than animals and I do believe that is often unfortunately true.

    Real Bill

    best I could tell there was no judge, jury, professional liars, pretense of justice, or death-in-living that precedes “execution of the sentence.”

    nope, just some family protecting themselves and their kids from an armed gang.

    Beverly Mann,

    Two articles you may find interesting.

    Warning: the first is violent and brutal.

      Thanks. I protect myself emotionally by not viewing videos of actual deaths of animals or people, so thanks for the warning. I haven’t watched the video of the death of that gentleman in that car in Minnesota, for example, and I won’t.

      Longstanding cultural tradition of a particular animal cruelty, like the Running of the Bulls, is no justification for continuing it. It’s too bad that the only time that particular one gets much international publicity is when turnaround turns out to be fair play.
