Problem is they are so un-educated and don't realize they are in control of one of the last healthy populations (very small #'s) of wild lions and felines in the world. We must make them realize. If we just accept that they care more for a human life than a lion then I don't know. And were not talking human vs lion here, were talking lion vs cow. These lions aren't preying on people. They are preying on cattle. There are non lethal solutions out there that cost money, I get thats something they don't have. Its people like (I hate to even write his name, he's a piece of crap) Bill Gates who have muddled in Africa with his billions, why cant he donate millions in non lethal arms for these people to deter these conflicts. There are solutions but it comes to money as usual. Us everyday middle class and poor Joe's aren't gonna get it done donating financially. These billionare philanthropy people should put their money where their mouth is and actually do some good.


So people on the ground, trusted good people who let us know are honest good people. They know hes dead. If it wasn't for us raising hell KWS wouldn't have even made a statement. They think were just going to get quiet. OLOBOR was just the last straw. Were all pissed. Too many go missing and die.

Here is the honest answer.  I am not a brilliant man.  I am barely a smart one.  The issue is, this area of the world is filled with people.  These people have been living on the fringes of our modern world for over a century, and many of them want in on it.  Some of their people have escaped and gotten a bigger taste of this world only to go back home and live in secluded luxury, which just baits at the rest of them.  There is barely any law enforcement here unless you are one of these privileged people I just spoke of, and all you want is a way to support and raise up your family.  Right now, that is by raising livestock, or farming, or some other off the land occupation.  That puts you in direct conflict with the local inhabitants.  All the animals we have come to know.

So how do you make these people NOT want to get a better life for themselves and leave these animals alone?  You almost certainly can't.  The answers are going to require governmental scales of money.  The only 2 options I see are... We create fully modern living spaces like what the Saudi's are proposing with that line city that has all you need within a 15-minute walk (not a free way to live), so that the people have lives that take them out of the conflict.  Or, we remove all of the people from Kenya, Botswana, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, and wall the whole thing off with full military guard and anti-air defenses, and leave the animals left inside alone.
