Don't knock lion hunting till you've tried it, it is an adrenaline rush and done in the bush with real wild self feeding lions is a true sport let me tell you. It also entails a great deal of walking and a lot of disappointments, over the course of 2 or 3 weeks. Not to mention day after day of 50 deg plus heat and nights where it drops to a frigid 30 deg C. The sand burns your feet till they blister if you're not careful and you can dehydrate till you start to get dizzy and fall down in less than 2 hours................buy why, you ask? Cause I really hate cats in general, and lions are just really big cats, besides it is legal and very sporting, done correctly and ethically, not to mention exciting and just a little dangerous. Nothing like a 5-600 kitty wanting to play with you as if you were their own oversize mouse, to get the adrenaline pumping. And yes the locals not only eat them they actually relish eating lion, one of the better meats they say.
