And last night on ABC was a program devoted to showing the lions as an endangered species in Uganda and Kenya,, seems a trade might be done to fill in gaps in the lion population maybe??
Are you going to catch 300 lions for the trade?
economist, PREACH!!
Don't poke a sleeping bear - ever.
There are plenty out there who think nature is defined by the absence of human interference. They do this while eating food produced with great disturbance to the natural order, in homes that displace all manner of flora and fauna, and while consuming energy in manner and magnitude inconceivable just a century ago. Man has an impact. Whether a few hundred lions exist or not is immaterial. The folly is running a zoo in the first place. Things change. The arrogant notion that 7 billion people can exist without changing the world requires a special level of denial. A few million Americans will weep for one lion that had a relatively free and happy life, all while snacking on hundreds of thousands of dead chickens raised in wire cages. Figure that one out.
