Even setting aside morals and ethics, this is like seeing the Washington Generals beat the Harlem Globe Trotters.
Gooooood kitties, you is such gooooood kitties. Yes, you is, yes, you is!

Hopefully the local authorities don’t feel compelled to send in a team to shoot the lions, on the grounds that they now have A Taste For Human Blood.
That seems to be standard practice in the U.S.

Unlikely. The lions are in a fenced off reserve so they can’t just wander around and eat people. And lions have had a taste for human blood going back to our earliest hominid ancestor.

According to their FB page, they will not be harmed:

The Future of the Sibuya Lions
We have received many questions relating to the future of the six lions involved in the tragic incident surrounding the killing of suspected poachers.
The six lions involved were darted (anesthetized) from a game viewing vehicle and their reaction to the vehicle at that time was closely monitored by myself, the veterinary staff as well as our conservation staff. Their behaviour appeared no different from that exhibited towards these vehicles over the last ten years.
The general consensus in the game industry is that lions view a game viewing vehicle containing people as something entirely different from individuals who are walking on the ground. At Sibuya Game Reserve we only view game from specialised game viewing vehicles and not on foot due to the extremely dense bush and thick forest on the Reserve.
Over the last few days game guides and anti-poaching staff have continued to drive game viewing vehicles in the vicinity of this pride to check for any behavioural differences and they have confirmed that to date there have been none.
Although we will continue to be extremely vigilant we remain positive that this incident will not necessitate any changes to the status quo of our lions.

While I value human life above animals, it reminds me of that old saying, “You live by the Rhino, you die by the er, um, lion”.
That reminds me of a sign that instead of, “Violators will be prosecuted,” said “Prosecutors will be violated.”
My dad used to have a sign that said that on the wall in the basement, near the bar. He also had a sign that said “Getting loaded zone.”

Politicians and lawyers; for the same reasons we should use them to replace animals for testing.
GO LIONS!!!
Good, but I don’t know what all this driving around is about. I’d just make one pass carrying a supply of Pepto Bismol in case the lions had indigestion. Otherwise, it’s all good.
What is the score after the first possession when Detroit plays in Green Eggs and Ham Bay?
