The Birmingham Males

[Duco Ndona]

They are in no way obligated to keep us up to date. Why waste an entire day blocking accounts etc when you can just not post that update. 
Their also employed by the various lodges. Which are far from interested in being called animal abusers each time a high profile animal dies and having to explain how nature works and they are not running a zoo.
Its also not just guides and staff members being targeted. But also the occasional guest. And I think that incident was kind of the final straw that broke the camels back. 

Its a few rotten apples in the lion community that keep peddling this crap. But seeing how crucial tourism is for maintaining Sabi Sands. I can totally understand them keeping the peace over keeping us informed. 
Afterall, the guests pay for the anti poaching programs and such and employ the communities that have to coexist with these animals. We don't. 
Perhaps if due to a lack of regular reliable updates the more fanboyish side of the lion community dies off. We can work out a more favourable relationship again.. 

That being said though. Western sector is a mess right now with heavy rain and flooding. We probably shouldn't expect any updates anytime soon anyway. Reply
