India just sentenced three 'man-eating' lions to life behind bars

I'd say that's some good forensic work to acquit the innocent parties.

Forest authorities in India have sentenced three wild lions to life in captivity. Their crime? Eating a 14-year-old boy that they caught sleeping outside near a lion sanctuary in the Gir National Forest, located in the Gujarat state. Now, all three of big cats will live in cages until their death.
A total of six people have been killed by lions around the Gir Forest in the past six months, The New York Times reports — and locals have been calling for action. So when forest authorities heard about the latest death, they rounded up 17 lions that they thought might have been involved. Bits of hair found in the lions’ fecal matter then helped them identify the male lion that led the attack. Two others — both female — ate what was left of the body. Forest officials say the remaining 14 lions are innocent, and they’ll be released soon.
I'd say that's some good forensic work to acquit the innocent parties.

Manes were probably black.

Sounds like profiling to me.

Bet they're glad they aren't in the US. All 14 would be dead and cut apart.

My first thought when I saw this thread.

Indian society is so perfect as it regards humans that they can actually spend their time adjudicating the guilt of animals.
Way to go, India!
Way to go, India!

We would have killed every lion in the area in the good ole USofA

I'd say this, you don't want to get eaten by a lion don't go in areas where they live. And what the hell is putting them behind bars will do? Stop other lions from preying on people?

The Onion must be very jealous that they could not make up this story

Asiatic lions are extremely endangered. I wonder if its conservation status has anything to do with this decision.
