Poor sob.

But alltogether it's good news that game is present in Ghana.
Hunting is close there for a long time.

My friend Touffic, outfitter in Burkina, just North of the Ghana, is pushing hard for having hunting reopened in this country, .....and obtaining concessions.

The article mentions Fulanis. This migrating people of sub Sahara, present in Mali, Burkina, Niger, Benin, Ghana, Cameroon, Chad, CAR are a scourge lionwise. They are migrating with their herds thinking nothing of boundaries. They suddenly appear in hunting areas and threaten the existence of plain game as their herds are eating up the daily food of present game. In this respect Touffic had in the past call the army to clean his big game hunting area from invading Fulani herds and the army happily made no exceptions. Now the Fulanis do make a long detour around his area. Funny as more than half the staff in Touffic's camp is Fulani.

The other depradations of Fulanis are far more serious. You can imagine that the lions are thoroughly following the Fulanis' herds, sort of a wonderful Godsent. Fulanis think nothing of inflicting all what is possible to the lions. Shooting, trapping and worse poisonning them......and the rest of the carnivorous fauna. That's why lion hunting is still very active in Burkina, Benin, Cameroon, Chad and CAR. The population gets more advantages from outfitters in protecting lions against Fulanis. Wouldn't the lion be huntable, the Fulanis would have wipped them off for ever.
