The more time has gone by, the more I wholeheartedly agree.  Overboard and above and beyond a la Kinky Tail kind of death.  But, unlike Kinky Tail and his brother, he and his partner never killed a single cub or lioness, as far as I know.  A simple, stern warning, could have sufficed, maybe?  But what they did??!!  I don't think Guernsey even realized just who he was dealing with, and that the Mbiris are just as blood-thirsty as ever the Mapogos were, being built from the same mind-set. (The sole difference is that there are only 2 Mbiris, thank goodness!)  All were raised by aggressive males, that only ruled with an iron-fist. (or paw, in a lion's case)  It's killings such as these that make me rethink and wonder if there are good/not so good characters in animals....like for people, in a sense, as animals also vary greatly in character....makes you wonder a lot.

I strongly disagree. Wild animals don't subscribe to our morals and values and therefore aren't bound to them in any way. There was nothing sadistic or overboard with what the Mbiri males did in killing the Guernsey male. They eliminated a threat to their territory, pride and cubs, thus ensuring stability in the area and fulfilling their role as pride males. The manner in which they did it means little to nothing in the grand scheme of things. There is no good and bad in Nature. Reply
