On August 24 a lion mauled a guide to death during a “walking safari” in the same Zimbabwe park where Cecil the Lion lived.
Camp Hwange, the company for whom the safari was being conducted, said guide Quinn Swales walked with a group of tourists when the lion attacked.
I think a lot of folks forget these damn things are predators and way up the food chain.
Unless the thread title is tongue in cheek, it seems a little inappropriate as the guide had nothing to do with hunting lions.
Very “Tongue in Cheek”.
I may not see the need and I do not have the desire to Trophy Hunt, but after weeks of hearing about poor Cecil (and I do agree killing him was silly) many forget these animals are predators. They kill for food, to protect their young and for territory.
As horrible as it is that this guide died in such a manner, most wont ever know his name or feel that loss and no, it will get nowhere near the press that Cecil’s passing did.
Was the guide a man of color?
If so, perhaps the liberals and BLM crews should head over and protest, maybe kill some lio-…
Wait… nevermind.
This is a good read:

Great idea.
If my memory is correct, both previous threads on this topic were locked and a couple of members got at least temp bans. I can’t also help but note that this isn’t currentevents.net, it’s m4carbine.net. We don’t need a thread here for every news item out there. Thanks.
