It’s really sad to see 3 rich white men with rifles hunt and kill a majestic lion, but the lion takes a shot at retribution. I don’t understand what it proves to go shoot a lion with a high powered rifle, now shooting it with a high powered camera lense, that would be a different story!

This lion had been reported as a problem and killed a game preserve ranger the day before.
A lion can get up to 50 MPH for about 5 to 10 seconds. If you don’t hit in the brain or spine there is enough blood left in the heart to kill you. Hence the name Dangerous Game. In Africa you have to hunt with a Professional Hunter (it’s the law). Otherwise there would be wounded animals that could seek out the local folks not to mention a lot of dead hunters. The reason there are three hunters is beacuse of the costs. The other guy is another hunter which lessen the cost. The most number of hunters a PH can have is two.These hunts are extremely costly and the fee goes to support conservation. Something the hunter and nonhunter can both support. The PH’s job is to keep his clients from getting killed. If your attempting to hit a small area like a lion’s brain that is charing from l00 yard or less which I’ve heard is typical you generaly will not get a second shot. I have never hunted lions but to say that it isn’t dangerous dosen’t appear true. I know that their are folks that will disagree, but I ask you to keep an open mind and do your own research.
you are too dumb to explain it to.
