Teddy Roosevelt knelt in the grass, raised his rifle and eyed the lion that was charging straight at him.
The animal was a “splendid old fellow,” Roosevelt would later write. “A heavy male with a yellow-and-black mane . . . burly and savage.” The lion raced closer, its ears laid back and fierce, guttural grunts echoing from deep within its throat.
@ludwigsdiana totally agree. It is our history and we can't deny it. Hopefully in the future things will change, It's not just the hunter, but the individuals that encourage and breed for the purpose. I can understand villages that have a threat, but breeding for the purpose is outlandish.
I live in a country where hundreds of animals are killed each year because it brings currency into the country.
To make matters worse, they are specially bred for this purpose. It makes me sick to the stomach, he should have died free too!
