I'm going to put this here in the Dog House because it is sad, and part of it is graphic. There was a segment on "60 Minutes" tonight about how lions are being poisoned in Kenya by cattlemen. Unfortunately, the poison is still being sold, so lions are still at risk. :( Very sad story.

:( Well this is sad in both ways.. The Kena people have to eat & survive somehow which is their cattle.. As well so do the lions have to eat & survive.. So like I said it is sad both ways..

Poisoning is an unethical, lazy, and a waste of use, way of predator controll.
