OMG! 8O What're people thinking?!?!
Lions, & wild dogs, and.. and.. My gosh! Imagine all these poor animals becoming extinct while we're around! 
And it's mostly our fault! What's this world coming to?!? *pounds her fists on desktop while tears stream down her face* --------------------

It's ok... because we know that they're endangered, conservation biologists will do all they can to save the species... It's not necesarily stupidity... some people just don't know better... and are just trying to protect themselves because if their livestock is killed they will lose their livelihoods.

Wild dogs were known for vicious hunting and rude lifestyle but infact, wild dogs are great parents and foster parents. Lion have been hunted for years but there still around.

Yes,
I knew that.. but... I still think it's not right. If the Africans could just build their fences higher & stronger, maybe their livestock would be safe, IMHO. They think bullets are cheaper, & yes they may be. But you don't need to kill anymore for no good reason. Some of these species may, someday, become extinct. They aren't endangered, except for the cheetahs, wild dogs & so forth. The lions aren't, but I think it's totally wrong to kill for no 'good' reason. Yes, the Africans are mostly poor & need the filling food, but I don't know... It just doesn't seem right..
