20. No expert, but from what little I do know basically everything in this is false

Or, to be more precise, the things he states are only true in areas where these animals are protected and are actually fed.

Anyone who thinks actually hunting Lions is a SAFE activity -- particularly in heavy brush -- is out of their gourd or being deliberately misleading.

That said, I am not a fan of trophy hunting like this, but I understand that properly managed hunting can provide a valuable source of income and incentive to protect the animals from poaching.
