Poisoning Africa's Lions
where is the outrage?
quote:
The lion population in East Africa has been decimated by poisoning in recent years, Ogada says. In the early 1990s, for instance, the entire population of lions in Amboseli National Park was lost, mainly through poisoning, and it has been estimated that lions will soon be extinct in southern Kenya due to spearing and poisoning. “In western Kenya, bird poachers poison water birds using snails as bait,” says Ogada.

The reasons wildlife are poisoned include control of damage-causing animals, harvesting for food or traditional medicine, and poaching for wildlife products. All may entail different methods and agents, but all with the same approximate outcome,” she says. The use of poisons as a tool in “bio-warfare” emerged in Southern Africa during colonial times, when strychnine was used for predator control.

SFP, stop trying to diminish their righteous fury over one lion by pointing out lion-ocide.
The Internet warriors can only focus on one thing at a time.
