Hi All,

I have been contacted by a researcher in Lower Zambezi of a big male Lion that is causing problems in the adjacent communities.

The Wildlife Department failed to hunt the beast and the community has asked if the Lion can be sold and some money put into communal coffers.

It will require permission from the Dept of Wildlife but if anyone is interested in the possible opportunity then PM me. If it happens it will be a fully legal hunt endorsed by Government.

Fantastic!

Why not contact Lion Aid, Packer, Joubert et al and propose they purchase the animal from the community and fund the darting and relocation of this warrior to a National Park of their choice.

Let them for once prove their worth and start putting money in their mouths.

Or is that asking too much? Big Grin

The local photographic operators have shunned the responsibility

Who would have thought.

As usual it all boils down to a lot of noise and when it comes down to the nitty-gritty they all duck for cover.

I wonder what "Lion Aid" stands for and what is their motto?

To refresh minds, I quote from their website hoping the lurkers get to read it and expose their hypocrisy:

"It is now up to us to have the courage, fortitude, and strength to protect and conserve a species globally representative of the freedom and importance of wild animals. It can be done, but not without your dedicated support of LionAid, a charity dedicated to lions and new visions for their conservation in the future".

I heard yesterday that Derek Joubert operates a dog shelter for stray dogs.

He could take in this lion and feed it with dogs. Win Win! Wink

relocating lions, male lions at that is not a simple proposition and many times ends in the death of the animal within relatively short order. More often than not, dispatching it is the best option in such situations.

We know that. There is a call for this Lion to be darted and returned to the Park. It will either be killed here or simply wander back.

The bleeding hearts don't know what the likely outcome of a relocation will be and allow their reasoning (scant) be governed by emotion.

If this Lion were to be relocated to a sanctuary and be killed by other Lions, they would call it "nature looking after itself" without thinking any further and exonerating themselves from any liability in the already known/expected fate of the animal.

My problem lion was tranked and relocated many kilometers back inside the park. Within a couple of days, he returned to his prior haunts and resumed killing livestock in large numbers.

I was given a permit to hunt and kill him because he would not stop doing what came naturally to him.

It’s as though they expect a lion to have scruples or a conscience. But for him, it’s just about getting fed, and better with easy pickings than hard work.

I hunted and killed him just the same. Never felt quite right about it. It became a job, and as a result, failure was not an option. I wouldn’t do it again.

But I did hunt him and kill him, and I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything else in the world.

I have put my offer to the Community and once this Lion takes a human life things will change.

A couple of years ago the Government asked me to accompany a Vet to try and dart a problem Lion. We gave up after a week or so as the Lion never returned to a kill and was wary of baits. But tracking him by moonlight was a true adventure. The bloke with the dart gun was a nervous wreck. I was hoping the Lion would charge.
