Matt,

I sincerely hope you don't think I'm having a pop at you here, cos' I'm not. All I'm trying to do is clarify things a bit so that members don't get hold of the wrong end of the stick.

There's an immense difference between the PG and Lions in these areas.

The plains game live in very large, fenced areas. I don't know what the average size is, but generally larger than 15000 acres and not uncommonly, 30000 acres plus. Most of these areas have no internal fences. The game in most areas is self sustaining. They live and breed in these areas all their lives and excepting occasional translocations, they know their home ranges very well indeed. So in other words, to all intents and purposes, they live in a relatively free environment and because they know their home ranges, can dodge both two and four legged predators without too much difficulty and hunters will have fairly similar challenges to overcome as they would in most unfenced areas.

Lions on the other hand, are bred and live their lives in pens that range from very small indeed to small. Then they're (almost always) drugged, then translocated into an area they don't know at all, then within a few days and often a few hours, are shot. The area they're shot in is completely alien to them and often very small as well. As I said before, there's also the issue of tranquilising drugs.

Comparing PG hunting in a fenced area to canned Lion hunting isn't comparing apples to oranges, it's comparing apples to moon rocks.

John,

I tried as you suggested and can indeed save a page, but Photobucket doesn't recognise the page as an image and so won't load it and Photoshop doesn't recognise the format and won't allow me open it to change it to a jpeg etc. If I save as, and then copy and paste, then both sites get penalised by the search engines for identical content. Sorry mate......... I have however, sent you a PM.
