Reply to "African Lion Endangered"

IndaMerit-Amun

Lion population is declining. In 1950 over 200,000 roamed Africa's savannahs. The most recent estimate puts the figure at 35,000. But as bad as things are for wild lions, notes Richardson, life is just as tenuous for the 5000 plus in captivity in South Africa, raised to be slaughtered like chickens. Captive bred lions are sold to hunt clubs for as much as $312,000.

Richardson spent time with young cubs, bonding with them as they grew into adolescents and adults.
He discovered-as everyone else in the park did-that he had a six'th sense when it came to the cats.
