I Shouldn't Laugh But...

... I will.
It would seem a big game poacher has met with a grisly, and in my opinion, fully deserved demise in the Kruger National Park in South Africa.
The discovery of a few human remains, including a head, and a loaded hunting rifle and ammunition would suggest that the poacher was eaten by the magnificent animals he was trying to kill.
Call me callous but this brings me almost as much pleasure as when a matador is gored by a bull. I'm sorry but my attitude on this is if you are going to mess with dangerous animals then don't complain when they do what dangerous animals do!!
The interesting thing for me is that they left his head. As a child I remember those so-called lion taming acts where part of the act was for someone to stick their head in a lions gaping jaws! And now we find out that lions aren't even partial to a human head. We've been duped!!! They were never in any danger and they knew it.
Frauds!!!
It does however raise the issue of exactly what I do now with all of those heads I have in my fridge!!!

Animal 1 human 0, great! 
I am all the time a fan of animals, let them alone and they will not hurt you. May be the lions do not want to mess up with humans brain, they fear to lose their cleverness and natural instinct. I can understand them.

I also liked the rhino that gored the guy who was hunting him for his horn, WorDazza! (I LIKE poetic justice!)

@WorDazza Well, that part wasn't in the article I read, WorDazza. Would you like to go on a safari with me? We can ask the rhino first-hand where he put his horn! 
You can do the asking while I wait way over there for you to get the answer!

@WorDazza Oh yeah. I'd be cheering on whatever the critter happened to be. And I might yell out, "What goes around comes around."

I hear what you're saying. I'm sorry that the man took up big game hunting to begin with... sorry for his family and friends...
however when you take up a "hobby"(?) of killing something that is big and dangerous.... I mean, wouldn't it be poor sportsmanship to complain about the hunter's demise?

@WorDazza Ha ha, for sure. I mean, did he not think that could be a possibility?

@WorDazza I agree. I find the whole idea of trophy hunting disturbing. Lets go a kill a life just because we can? Sheesh....

Seriously, your are funny! Does the fact that lions do not eat (human) head means that they do not eat the rest of the body? If the 'body' is threatened that's still risky, isn't it? I think lion tamers will tell you that it is not a lion's mouth that is dangerous ...but a lion's breath !

@Gita17112016 Although i am a vegetarian I have no problem with people hunting animals for food. What I strongly object to is animals being factory farmed and slaughtered by the millions in a drive for ever cheaper meat.
I also find the idea of trophy hunting absolutely abhorrent and would love to see the heads of people who do this displayed on spikes!!

@WorDazza Yes, apparently the fumes from its (lion's) stomach is deadly. I don't know about the diet of a poacher
I am in two opinions about hunting. In parks and protected areas I am off course against it. My father was a hunter and we sort of grew up hunting to supplement the diet.We have about 5 acres of land and in rural areas there is always an abundance of wildlife . When you are a farmer these animals can do tremendous amount of damage. Killing and setting traps were normal. When you are just surviving there isn't time to be squeamish!
Today wildlife is protected as housing schemes encroach on their habitat. I feel sorry for animals though.
Historically it fell upon royalty to hunt animals there were predators, especially if they were injured or were attacking humans. Thank God T&T has no animal predators such as lions, tiger or bears.

it is very apt that the lions fought back - if only ducks, partridge and pheasants did too

@arthurchappell Often used as guard 'dogs' too. My mum got a nasty peck on the leg from a swan once. It was bruised for months!!

Good for the lions! That poacher got what he deserved! I hope it sends a message to all the other poachers as well.

@WorDazza I'm afraid you are correct. Poachers aren't going to give up just because of one loss. They know the inherent risks of the trade, and are willing to continue assuming those risks.

@moffittjc While it's financially worth their while they'll carry on taking the risk. We need to remove the market for these animals' body parts.

Hurray for the animals. Big game hunters are very low on the evolutionary ladder.

It does make you feel a little bit pleased for the sake of the animals. There have been some wicked poaching going on and the mega rich idiots who go out to shoot. Like the idiot who was trampled by the elephant sadly after the elephant had been shot. So senseless in my opinion. Good old lions!

I had a bit of a guffaw too! I'm sure the lions did too. Bless them. Karma, Darwin and Comeuppance all knocked on Mr Poacher's door that morning.
