The attacks have forced at least 1,000 people to flee their homes in Hadia Zone, in the Southern Nation and Nationalities People State, 250 miles north of Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, according to a police statement. "The lions are coming from the bush seeking food," in groups of two to four animals, according to the statement. Lions attack and eat humans in areas where their wild prey has been reduced by over-hunting, deforestation and population growth. Older lions also become man-eaters because humans are a far easier prey than wildlife. "The 20 people were eaten by the lions while they engaged in their daily activities in their homes and nearby places," according to the police. "Killing these lions would be the only way to rescue the residents in the area and prevent other casualties," the police statement added. | ||

I still think that hippo is the best bait for lions.  | |||

John Taylor said it's far more common than you hear about. Due to extreme remoteness of some areas and cultural issues these things are not even reported most of the time. In some of his experiences he'd kill up to a dozen lions before the problem animals would be eradicated in a particular area. The reign of terror they create in a region of villages is amazing. .22 LR Ruger M77/22 30-06 Ruger M77/MkII .375 H&H Ruger RSM | |||

Its Ethiopia!I would bet the cattle and people are starving not unlike the lions. Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war; That this foul deed shall smell above the earth With carrion men, groaning for burial. | |||

Shooting a Lion is one thing. Shooting a Man Eater is another story.....What's the trophy fees????  Mink and Wall Tents don't go together. Especially when you are sleeping in the Wall Tent. DRSS .470 & .500 | |||
