I have no opinion to the rest of the comments made by the author of that post, but this was the first time I had seen these images of PB's injury, which I why I inquired. We know that Dreadlock's death was at the hands of a poacher, possibly Rasta, but could PB's injury have been caused by men as well?

That injury on PB's back can easly be by the bite of another male.. I dont think that poachers would use spears to hunt lions, yet rifles..

In area around Masai Mara local tribes hunt lions with spears, but in Kruger i dont think thats the case..

Ok, I had only recently watched a video on tribes that hunted lions with spears, must be the group you are referring to in the Mara. I certainly wouldn't hunt a lion with a spear, but that's just me. Not that I'd hunt one at all, but if so a rifle would certainly be my weapon of choice. Thanks! Reply
