In addition to the unfortunate consequences that will likely befall the lions--it will be curious to see what other countries will be doing with regards to lion hunting in the future. With Botswana closing and South Africa shutting down the "canned hunts".. the additional pressure will be greatly increased..which in turn will likely force other countries to change their quotas as well.

Boddington stated last year he felt lion hunting would be the next to go of the big 5 as a huntable species..the way it is starting to shape up he may have been dead on..
