Kenya urges ban on lion hunting
Kenya is pushing for an international ban on trade in lion trophies and skins, arguing that the number of the animals has declined sharply over the years as a result of hunting, loss of habitat and lack of prey.

"The number of lions in Africa has declined by between 30 and 50 percent in the past 30 years," Edward Indakwa, Kenya Wildlife Service's spokesman, said Tuesday.

For many years, African tribesmen hunted lions and ate their hearts, hoping this would give them strength and courage. Others kept claws of the big cats, believing this would ward off evil spells from witch doctors. Trophy hunters sought the animals to display their hunting prowess.
