Lion population threat August 18, 2009 Reuters. NAIROBI. — Kenya’s lion population could disappear altogether in the next 20 years because of climate change, habitat destruction, disease and conflict with humans, the country’s wildlife authority said yesterday. Lions are one of the so-called Big Five along with elephants, buffaloes, leopards and rhinos that are the major tourist attraction in Kenya’s game parks. Kenya, heavily reliant on tourist dollars, lost an average 100 lions in each of the last seven years; from 2 749 lions in 2002, to some 2 000 of the big cats now, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) said. "The trend of lion population decline is disturbing and every effort needs to be made to ensure that Kenya either stabilises its population or increases the numbers . — Reuters.

Well, at least thinking people can't blame it on hunting! | |||

Whenever I see either "climate change" or "global warming" (always meaning anthropologic global warming) in the first sentence, I know that what I'm reading is pure, unadulterated, BS from a political junkie spewing propoganda. When you get bored with life, start hunting dangerous game with a handgun. | |||

well, since Al Gore and B. H. Obama are going to reverse global warming, things will definitely improve in the near future. Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… | |||

The only thing "climate change" is going to do is make the hair slip faster after the Masai spear and poison them!!!  Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

At least they are not blaming sport hunters -for a change. Oh, I forgot! There is no sport hunting for lions in Kenya. And yet they are declining? Gee, how can that be? All proper thinking people know that sport hunting is evil,evil, evil and always responsible for declining numbers of any species on the planet. I love that "conflict with humans" phrase. (Translation - farmers are killing them because lions must have figured out that if farmers insist on living right next door (by constant expansion into lion country)that it's a lot easier to whack some cow than trying to run down a gazelle. It's sad all around. | |||

I am starting to wonder if all the hot air being blown about climate change is actually starting to cause global warming. Caleb | |||
