Lion turns the tables on illegal hunters by killing man looking to shoot him

[n2doc]

Authorities reported a group of five men hunting without licences was attacked by the big cat at a private game farm near the Kruger.

Matome Mahlale, 24,was killed along with two dogs, who were accompanying the group.

Local police spokesman Colonel Ronel Otto said: "Three men managed to climb into a tree and another managed to escape, but the deceased and two dogs were mauled to death."

A local said: "There won't be many people feeling sorry for him. This is seen as poetic justice for the death of Cecil."

Cecil was a Southwest African lion who lived in the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, which borders South Africa where the killer lion attacked the hunter.

17. Good for the lion. Too bad the other 3 hunters escaped

I would be happy if every hunter was hunted to death.

The lion, just being a lion.

[Amimnoch]

24. I do feel sorry for the 2 hunting dogs.

I also feel sad that the other 4 men managed to either get to safety up in a tree or get away. They could have kept the lion fed and the dogs should have gotten away.

26. Poor dogs.

27. "Hunting" at a "farm".

Such brave and noble heroes

30. GO LIONS!

If hunting's a sport, I get to pick which team I'm rooting for.

GO LIONS!

BEAT THE HUNTERS!

38. LOL, I remember you from the elephant threads. I told my father about your post at the time.

He was very amused.

When I first started telling him about the elephant hunt, he immediately said that he was glad that the elephant survived and the hunter died.

Elephants, like dolphins and great apes, are exceptionally intelligent animals.

31. Well, thats the risk you take when you try to be the "big" man.

I wont say I'm glad the guy is dead, but I also wont lose any sleep. he wouldnt BE dead if he hadnt been trying to shoot a damn lion.

[Aristus]

33. I guess he won't go lion-hunting anymore...

Hope it was worth it, chump...

[bluestateguy]

34. It's not a fair fight if the animals don't have the right to defend themselves.

And well, sometimes the hunters lose.

[meow2u3]

35. Good kitty

How's that for giving lion hunters a taste of their own medicine?

I feel sorry for the dogs because they were trained to follow the orders of their humans. The so-called humans, not so much.

[Calista241]

36. This lion will be destroyed as a man-eater. Sad story all around.

But damn if the idiot lion hunters didn't deserve to have the tables flipped on them for a change.
