Of the dangerosity of two-legged steaks.

Tweet

I think you remember me evocating those two-legged steaks and wondering if they were good to eat, in a previous discussion. Well, I raised the issue with my other pride members once, after a nice meal of zebra and, I have to say the discussion forced me to re-center my views of those seemingly harmless creatures, in a rather more sinister light. The oldest lioness in our pride, respected for her long experience of life, told us that those two-legged steaks are indeed slow and weak physically. But what they lack in strength and speed, they largely compensate by using ways to go against their own limitations and, in doing so, they show frightening skill and efficiency (hairs are raising on my nap as I am writing this)... When she was asked to explain further, she told us about this young lion in a neighbouring pride who took to kill and eat humans ("humans" is the proper word for two-legged steaks). He killed and ate a number of them and boasted he wouldn't eat anything else, that one human was as filling as an impala and much easier to catch. However, other humans, seemingly exasperated by his attacks on their congeners, one day tracked him and killed him. The most surprising thing is they didn't use their teeth and claws they have ridiculously small and weak, to kill him. Instead, they used those powerful sticks, or "rifles" as they are called, that can throw projectiles. Those projectiles are called "bullets" and thrown this way, they lodge themselves inside the body and do untold damages to internal organs. If the human who uses the rifle is skilled at it, death is instantaneous; if he is clumsy, you only get wounded but you are almost certain to experience a slow and painful death from your wounds. Humans are also extremely determined and more vicious that buffaloes in dealing with those who provoke them. I mean they can kill anything, even elephants(!) with rifles and the old lioness who told us all those facts about them, reckons humans are possibly the most dangerous animals on Earth.
