    "60 Minutes" segment about lions poisoned in Kenya

    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.

    The one female killed had been carrying babies.

    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.
