Lions in South-Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia

[Cath2020]

I'm not sure who would be in charge of fixing those fences.  These questions need to be addressed to those responsible for doing that then.  Instead, we are blaming Jock Safari, when they might not be in charge of that.  They could be trying to give these lions a second chance, otherwise, the next time they go out, they will most likely not survive, we all know that.  I've seen the posts which were immediately putting the lodge on the defensive.  

Two year old males can survive on their own.  Some will do so better than others, but to state that it's a death sentence for him, is a big exaggeration.  Some males are kicked out of their natal prides before that age or around two, and they sink or swim.  Would it have been better for him to go with a brother or two?  Absolutely, but we don't know why this happened.  He might not have been around the other pride members that were already past the fenced area.  What would you have them do?  Track him down and send him up north with his family?  And if the family all gets poached, at least he won't have to suffer that fate.   God forbid that happens, but maybe some, if not all, will be luckier than the other lions relocated there in the past.  Hopefully, things have improved since then.
