finally some karma for the hunters, the hunters became the hunted


i don't feel sad for the hunters, but more happy the lions did fight back now

There is a sense of poetic Justice for conservation to this story.

A story about horrible hunting bastards that ends well instead of them killing yet another beautiful animal. Well done to the lions, tbh

People will laugh that it's what they deserve, while taking another bite from the burger on their plate.
Cognitive dissonance is fun.

I mean I'm not going to celebrate people being killed but it is hard to muster up any sympathy at the same time

I expect people can differentiate the need to eat to survive from ignorant blind greed

exactly this for me

Some people eat lions... animals' meat is meat, isn't it? Cows, lions, dogs - kill it and call yourself disgusting bastard, pay other to kill it out of sight and put it in a nice package and call it need to survive.

also "eat to survive", is a stretch.

Amazing news.

Mother Nature making Nature Great Again

They weren't hunting for meat though... They were hunting for rhino horns. Illegally. In an area that they knew was full of dangerous animals.

I get what you're saying but its not really the same thing.

Oh wouldn’t that be a perfect case of Karma! :hee:

Right, while they weren't aiming for this poor animal's flesh, they craved another body part of it.
I don't see it as an end justifying the means. It's a living animal minding its own business being violently attacked/hurt/shot/slaughtered/skinned/butchered/etc for the sake of its attackers' pleasure - be it financial pleasure, gastronomic pleasure, fame and glory, fashion or arts. Is it less cruel? A dead victim could hardly care less about the "why"s of its attack.
In the end of the day, it's a violent action like the ones happening behind the high walls of slaughterhouses. There's a reason why it's mostly being hidden from kids, because we know it's unbearably violent.
I'm not blaming (I was a meat eater too) as much as I just thought it was something worth pointing out. This shock will disappear in the next "how do you like your bacon" thread in the chat forum.

I don’t see what the problem with greedy senseless hunters being hunted and killed.

Again i dont think anyone is under any illusion how animals are killed unless they live under a rock but whilst yes its animals being killed its just not the same as a comparison

This is so well written
You're right, but until we can grow meat in vats the best we can do is to provide as painless death as it is possible and regulate hunting. Humans like eating meat, we are omnivores by design
