Lion turns the tables on illegal hunters by killing man looking to shoot him

A LION turned the tables on illegal hunters by killing a man looking to shoot him.

The killing came in South Africa, across the border from where Cecil was slaughtered
Authorities reported a group of five men hunting without licences was attacked by the big cat at a private game farm near the Kruger.

Matome Mahlale, 24,was killed along with two dogs, who were accompanying the group.

Local police spokesman Colonel Ronel Otto said: "Three men managed to climb into a tree and another managed to escape, but the deceased and two dogs were mauled to death."

A local said: "There won't be many people feeling sorry for him. This is seen as poetic justice for the death of Cecil."

Cecil was a Southwest African lion who lived in the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, which borders South Africa where the killer lion attacked the hunter.

Cecil was wounded with an arrow by Walter Palmer, an American recreational big-game hunter, and approximately 40 hours later, killed with a rifle. He was 13 years old when he was shot dead.

The killing caused mass outrage across the globe.

Earlier this month it was revealed Mr Palmer will not be charged by Zimbabwean authorities over the killing.

The government said it would not prosecute the dentist as "all the papers were in order".

Zimbabwe authorities decided not to charge Palmer for the killing
A spokesman for charity LionAid blasted this decision, saying: "LionAid is disappointed but not at all surprised that Zimbabwe eventually decided to decline prosecution of Walter Palmer.

"After all, Walter Palmer was only one of many hundreds of trophy hunters before him who hunted at the thin edge of the law.

"If Zimbabwe had decided to prosecute Walter Palmer it would have established a procedure by which future Walter Palmers could be prosecuted."

I thought "CECIL" was dead, but he keeps on coming back. He is obviously more famous dead then he ever was alive. Al

it rings special to my ears :

King Henri III having no heir, decided to kill the wanabee king the Duke of Guise and seeing his carcasse, almost 2m tall said : "he is bigger dead than alive"



This move to make place for the protestant Henri IV, the closest heir to be king of france............after he converted to roman catholicism.

They keep digging him up to check if he's still dead ,since these Animal Rights loonies think that animals will live forever if an Evil Hunter does not kill them .

Off mic, this Cecil is the absolute pollution of any hunting discussion.


I am "shattered" by the wreckage look of the lion on the trophy picture vs all the fancy pictures aired around the world. In my opinion, John, it's poor form if we hunters let this pic circulate on the net?

????????

Does anyone see the similarity between the two pictures of Cecil? I don't. Typical lie by the Left.

Piffel article full of inaccuracies just to use the theme "Cecil" throughout it.

The smell of bullshit is strong on the breeze with the un-named "local".

Quote:

Cecil was a Southwest African lion who lived in the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, which borders South Africa where the killer lion attacked the hunter.



Hwange borders Botswana and Hwange has no border with South Africa.

Zimbabwe is by no means a "South West" African country with Botswana and Namibia to the West.

Ah like charging as criminals people going about lawful pursuits?

Not much "Virtue" in that beat up story ...
