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."

Like to invoke my bleeding-heart card on this and feel for the mauled men, who were on an illegal lion hunt - but can't seem to find it today when I read stories like this.

1. Yet the dentist who killed him is back working his high priced dental clinic and faces no

charges. Public wrath is not enough for him, imo.

2. Poor dogs

I have NO sympathy for hunters.

3. I have sympathy for the dogs.

The illegal lion hunters? Not so much.

4. Reporting sure isn't what it used to be.

It is inaccurate to say these men were hunters or that they were hunting. They were attempting to poach lions. They were not hunting.
