Zimbabwe's wonderful leader, Robert Mugabe, must be feeling the pinch in his pocket since the pay to slay lions tourism is drying up and he's not getting his kickbacks.

Shitty scare tactics.

Regardless of anyone's opinion on hunting lions, you must admit this is bullshite put out by Zimbabwe.

Overpopulation doesn't occur in 9 months

And to say they overpopulated by 200 in 9 months is even more hilarious. They aren't rabbits

The politicians there live on under the table bribes to kill big game and the tourism associated with it is a big part of their economy. They want their pockets filled and are scaring folks into doing it.

The average American has no idea that hunting is required to keep numbers down of certain species of animals in order to maintain the health of the species


I'm sure Zimbabwe's 90 year old corrupt despot is an expert on conservationism.

Not sure how many were scheduled to be hunted...but say 40?

those don't happen because of the dentist, those 40 mate and have 4 cubs each....160 new + 40 not killed.

no big deal, no need to kill, right? 200 make 800 next gestation.

Yep, all it took was an upper middle class lion killing and eating the one human that all the lions loved.........well, the sensitive lions put an end to that shite right then and there.

Did anyone notice that website is terrible? No, because critical thinking isn't valued here.

Holy frick these numbers are hilarious

Do you realize how absurd your suggestion that they all mate and have 4 cubs each is? They don't all mate, like not even close, and when they do not all females get pregnant. You must get your numbers from Ted Cruz.


ETA:
And you're assuming all 40 were fertile females when males are far more popular to hunt

TOOK? WTF is that? No one TOOK the lions anywhere. They shot and killed them. If you are going to hunt at least don't use pussy arse euphemisms. Again, I'm a hunter. But when I hunt I shoot and kill animals. Then I have their carcass processed into delicious meat products that I feed to my family.

ehhhh.. I use kill and took interchangeably very often. The term I dislike it "harvested"

For some. True hunters hated that douche bag dentist too. Hunting violations in America, and then he went to Africa and hunted illegally there as well. Dude deserved what he got.
