Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara

Guys I'm not sure everybody realizes the situation over there. There are literally villiages INSIDE the Reserve. Marsh pride territory has a literal villiage inside. Talek is also a big villiage inside the Mara in between the Reserve and (i think) OMC.  Thats not all, there's many more. Not every Massai kill, poison the predetors but many will if they aren't compensated or their cattle Shepherds don't agree with conservation. 

Conservancies are slightly different than a Reserve as Safari companies, lodges, conservation companies get together and rent the property owners land (Massai people) for tourism, conservation. In turn they pay the land owners for this and also provide education and jobs to the Massai to help turn the thi king of predetors and elephants, Rhinos, etc.... as problem animals  to important animals among other things they do. On the other hand the biggest problem is big time politicians and decision makers own the biggest herds of cattle and therefore were up against a stone wall when trying to enforce killing and wrong doing. 

I was thinking the other day; I live in a huge cattle/beef farm land area. Hundreds, maybe thousands of cattle ranchers through the mountains and rolling pastures. The Massai can't argue that I, and some of us can't have an opinion as there are many predetors that threaten the cattle here like black bear, coyote, gray fox, etc....  Even white tail deer can damage thousands of dollars worth of plants, crops, trees, etc.... It is 100% illegal to just kill them out of season. The laws do get enforced if caught too. Farmers can get a liscence to protect their investment unlike Kenya. 

 So instead of taking the cattle out ito the Reserve and Conservanies, unprotected from predetors, why cant the Massai farm hay then bale the hay up and take it back to an enclosed boma to feed the cattle instead of taking the cattle to graze? They can't tell me that wouldn't be a better way to live together with endangered animals and limit exposure to them. Why not from crops of corn and grain to help feed the cattle? 

All the billionaires who throw millions of dollars at things that make no sense and really help nothing but there own agendas they should help with this. Then the Massai Ranchers can buy tractors and equipment, fences to get started growing cattle feed and be self sufficient without intermixing with natural predetors. Reply
