About #241...

First of all I don't contest that a tiger could be longer or more athletic than a lion. That isn't the point and the lions have other assets. I just disapprove of the fact to drop a sentence with no one argument to back it up. I should have taken into account the PCKTS's past within Wildfact... Sorry.

Then... As concerns your remarks about my posts... Well, I consider we are in front of a wild life which is going to completely vanish in a mere two or three decades at the most and all of us with it, (the actual covid crisis darkening the picture, parcs keepers and guards without incomes formerly generated by the tourism and leaving the fauna without protection against poaching). In my opinion, these pictures depict a sort of last testimony before becoming some relics of a lost world. Human madness... But ok ! I will try to be more "personal" with an additionnal pinch of salt (rather pepper or spice, without sinking into insults or unwarranted affirmations of course) into my future posts.

Thank you for your suggestions.

My trade is tigers, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in lions. I often visit the lion section to read. It's the largest section of Wildfact and generates more traffic than all others. You know I was close with Tshokwane, our former lion mod. There was a reason for that. Remember any member disgrading lions one way or another will be noticed and addressed. No worries. 

Agreed with your remarks on the destruction of the natural world and the effect of covid on conservation. Most involved in decisions affecting the natural world and those making their home in that unseen world know about the often devastating effects of their decisions. I'm referring to the situation in the western hemisphere in particular. The time for change has arrived. One can only hope voters realize a very different outlook is needed.   
 
Saw your latest contribution in the Ape thread and liked the extended info and the drawing you added. That is a personal touch.

I know you're interested too in lions, I will never forget your thread #77 about them in the Mapogo lions section:

It's natural to have a preference to one animal or a group of animals. The foulest situation is too read endless debates lion vs tiger where the one's defenders are coming to hate (or despise) the other animal... For this reason one, I react perhaps a little bit too sharply when somebody expresses a categorical assertion with no one argument before and after.
Otherwise, I have to find a new way of operating in this forum: more reading, fewer posts, a good balance... Patience. Reply
