**FOR ALL OF YOU AFRICAN LION LOVERS** The Most Ferocious Man-Eating Lions Africas lions may usually prey on zebras or giraffes, but they also attack HUMANS, with some lions responsible for over 50 deaths! ....Keep Reading...... In encounters with the king of beasts, an unarmed person is “one of the most helpless creatures,” notes Charles Guggisberg in Simba: the Life of the Lion. “Man cannot run as fast as a zebra or a gazelle, he has not the horns of the sable antelope or the tusks of the warthog, and he cannot deal terrific blows like the giraffe.” People are, in other words, easy pickings. Even though Africa’s lion populations have been drastically reduced in the past decades, lions still regularly eat people; it’s not uncommon for them to kill more than 100 people a year in Tanzania alone. Now...onto Hunting Conservation FACTS: Hunting is the most powerful tool to conserve and protect the lion population as a whole. The evidence for this is impossible to ignore. Just look at the lion populations in states where hunting has been banned. Local farmers and cattlemen use deadly poison and snares to kill lions in MASS in order to protect their land and livelihood. Cohabitation becomes increasingly difficult and expensive, further providing a disincentive for these areas to foster a healthy population. The alternative being sought in Africa is not to ban hunting, but to promote it through adaptive management in which governments set regulations that are non-detrimental to the health and survival of the game species—all the while these regulated hunts bring in valuable dollars to the local economy. I rest my case!! Kendall Jones keep doing what you are doing, your hunting community is behind you 100% #HUNTSTRONG #SupportKendall
