Dumbass!, and the best is he heard a voice saying he should do it. Sound more like drug induced than spritual.

Man-eating Lions Shot in Kruger National Park

From Cat News number 27, Autumn 1997

Park rangers shot five lions in South Africa's Kruger National Park after a series of attacks on illegal immigrants from Mozambique, 11 of whom died in the nine months up to August.



Human remains were found in the stomachs of the lions, which were shot when a Mozambican was killed and eaten on 11 August at a waterhole.



The man was reported to be one of a group of 14 illegal immigrants who had been repatriated the day before. Five decided to return to South Africa that night, when they were attacked. The surviving four, who took refuge in a tree, were again sent back to Mozambique. Over 2,000 illegal immigrants have been repatriated this year.



Immigrants cross the park on foot and the Kruger unit of the National Defence Force arrested 13,479 between January 1993 and January 1997. It is believed that many more have been killed by lions than those recorded.



In the National Park magazine, Custos, senior researcher Ian Whyte, who recalled several dangerous personal encounters with lions, was quoted as saying that old, sick or injured lions, or ones that had been pushed out of a pride were the ones that usually became man-eaters.



"It is generally accepted that lions avoid man because they have a great respect for him. This fear disappears, however, after a lion has killed a human for the first time. Lions that are held in captivity and relocated in the wild are among the most dangerous animals in the world, purely because they have lost their fear for humans.



An official said visitors constantly disobeyed orders to stay in their cars. He recalled finding one visitor standing looking at a pride of lions at the other side of the road, without realising that a lioness was watching him intently from only five paces behind.

I think we need some of those lions along the Mexican border...

I agree with Crosshairs, lets see if we can have some shipped to the Rio Grande.

Good luck and good shooting,
