Interesting indeed. Think that will ever make a major publication?  :bash:

After reading this, I went back and checked the comments. Check this one:

"Before colonialists like Cecil Rhodes, Africans were stone age people and just another part of the ecosystem. Big game, including but not limited to lions, kept their population under control. Now, the advantages of modern technology have allowed African populations to grow exponentially and take all the habitat for themselves and their livestock. If you don't like lions, you should move to the city and get a job. Leave the ecosystem the way is was only 25 years ago."

This is the most abhorrent racist and misanthropic garbage I've read in a while.
