There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I have lots of thoughts on how Dark Mane Avocas death was exploited for clicks and views and I hope Nhenha has the dignity to either recover or leave the earth in peace.
What type of harrassment, being accused of exploiting an animal's suffering/death kind of thing?
Nah, more along the lines of implying the rangers are lying about what’s happening, playing favorites, or on the extreme end even accusations that they are culling lions (they euthanized Sassy so people are starting to come up with wild speculations based on that).
Maybe I’m in the minority here but I don’t think Nhenha has been starving for 14 days straight. He scavenged a kill from a leapord and could do that again. Maybe the second attack wasn’t that bad and laying in one spot for days is actually good for an animal who’s injured to conserve energy.
