They know the risks and choose to kill poach anyway. Screw them. I hope this kind of thing happens to more often.

Don't think so. They were put there to protect the rhinos. MoonRiver Jul 2018 #5

Good job! SammyWinstonJack Jul 2018 #7

I doubt it. The lions have probably been socialized with the rangers and the anti-poaching dogs haele Jul 2018 #13

I hope they're not socialized with the rangers. cab67 Jul 2018 #58

I agree with you mokawanis Jul 2018 #30

The lions did not "mutilate" them. They ate them. It's what lions are supposed to do. SunSeeker Jul 2018 #37

They were mauled and mangled mokawanis Jul 2018 #60

Being eaten by lions necessarily involves a certain amount of mangling and mutilating. The Velveteen Ocelot Jul 2018 #71

You're welcome. Crunchy Frog Jul 2018 #108

Mutilate implies an intent to torture/deface. The lions had no such intent. SunSeeker Jul 2018 #73

No it doesn't mokawanis Jul 2018 #93

Yes it does. Why use a word that vilifies the lions? SunSeeker Jul 2018 #95

No it doesn't, and I'm not vilifying the lions mokawanis Jul 2018 #96

You are vilifying the lions if you are accusing them of "mutilation." SunSeeker Jul 2018 #106
