Are you referring to the lions or the poachers?

@snytiger6 The lions. "Prey" is what they did when they ate the poachers.

@DenoPenno Oops.... I am partially blind and didnt' notice the spelling. One of the many picture that flew throug my mind was the lions sayign grace before eating, which is of course ridiculous, even if a little funny.

Seems according to those who have tried it, that human tastes like pok. In some parts of the world where it was common to eat people, we were known as "long pig". So don't feed your cat pork or they may get the taste for it.

@Fernapple All cats are Jewish - that's why you never see pork catfood in shops

@Jnei Thats why they came out of Egypt looking for milk and honey, of course.

I think it's a fatty white meat...lol

So do I!

The problem I see is that Africa has the biggest population growth of any country, yet the politicians, culture refuse to promote family planning. Also, often to be a man, one has to have lots of kids. Dwindling resources and expanding demand is a recipe for what we presently have. I fear things will only get worse.

@JackPedigo We will blow the world up because of overpopulation which resulted by fighting over dwindling resources.

Often the gangs who employ the poachers are run by extremely rich people, the gang members never involve themselves in the poaching. They employ the poachers on by results payment, they give them guns, send them out and regard them as one time only expendables.

@Fernapple "Often the gangs who employ the poachers are run by extremely rich people, the gang members never involve themselves in the poaching.

@dahermit Interesting look at the business

@yamaha45701 And it has been going on for some time and is escalating.

"They had it coming" reminded me of "The Cell Block Tango" from the musical "Chicago".

@JackPedigo You make a great argument for zero or negative population growth.

@dahermit Sorry can't give you the exact source, as it was a BBC documentary I saw some time ago, but I have every reason to think that the information was credible, and if it is true then it should be possible to fact check it easily, an online search should turn something up. But having said that and given that there is such a wealth divide in many African counties, is it really likely that the poaching is organized any other way, you may be sure that the rich do not involve themselves in the poaching and the poor do not access the international markets.
