I just got done reading a long post regarding the night Kinky Tail was killed, and apparently there is speculation that Mr. T had been darted, which resulted in his late appearance to the fight. As the post claims, apparently Mr. T was chasing two of the Magingilanes, and Kinky Tail was chasing the other two. Mr. T got darted, taking him our of the fight, allowing the two he was chasing to turn back and join in the fight. M. finally woke up, and joined the fight, but was still groggy from having been darted, and was stumbling when he tried to help in the fight. There is an entre Facebook post dedicated to this.
Is there any truth to this, or is this just nonsense? So much rumor and speculation on the Internet, regarding this mighty coalition, which is precisely why I come to these forums to try and weed the truth from the nonsense. There is such a large amount of subject matter knowledge in this forum.
Nonsense, if Mr. T was darted he would never arrived at the fight scene, sedation lasts for few hours, and he arrived just a few minutes too late, Majingilanes already mauled KT, and then Scar Nose and Golden Mane chased Mr T, while Dark Mane and Hip Scar stayed and mauled KT.
Because of Mapogos fame and popularity, people always think its some conspiracy that lead to their downfall, which is not true. They are lions like every others, they are not some Gods that cannot be killed in a fight..
The best one is that rangers and park owners hate Mapogos because they where bad for lion population, because they kill many lions, and because of that they removed them on purpose by darting Mr T and poaching Rasta and Dreadlocks , which is the most stupid thing i have ever heard.
Yes, Rasta (maybe) and Dreadlocks (for sure) where poached, but they are not the first and wont be the last lions with that fate, and that has nothing to do with Mapogos..
In one of my previous posts, I posted a video of Ranger Willem Botha, back on page 119 of this thread, when he had darted some of the Mapogos. In it the video shows some anti-poaching scouts, it describes them as some of the most highly trained anti-poaching scouts in the Sabi Sands. The video says that sadly they are no longer in the area, do you know the reason for them no longer being there? Is it purely financial, perhaps not enough tourism, political, or is there another reason for their having been removed?
