So in Africa lets assume that many more villagers will be eaten by lions or many more stock robbing lions will suffer the poison route..as happens now!
Then the calls will be out to poison them,legally!...but not hunt them.
Absolutely and if lions have no value to the villagers in terms of hard cash, they will have no place in the bush near villages, so poisoning will increase.
Quote:
Lion cubs are euthanised in zoos all around the world as they are such prolific breeders btw.
Absolutely. Habitat loss and human encroachment is the main cause of decrease in lion populations. Look at the hatred of wolves in Europe and North America by persons connected to the land. Imagine the hatred of lions in comparison.
