RE: Note to self, NEVER go lion hunting.
Oh God. It's deja vu all over again (as Yogi Bera would say). This video was posted on this website about a year ago and there were hundreds of opinions flying... I originally had the same thoughts as some of you, but eventually decided that maybe I was being a bit closed-minded and naive.
From what I can remember, the lion was a problem animal and had attacked villiagers and had to be culled.
Lets remember that just because most of us are accustomed to killing deer and other herbivores (with the occasional hog, coyote, fox, crow, mountain lion, etc.) there are thousands of other places in the world where "other" animals need to be controlled in some way or another. Let me reiterate that I don't like what I see in the video, but don't be so quick to judge other hunters or their methods for killing game.
