African lions going Extinct 4,000 left, and noone cares about lion crisisThere are 6,040 wild tigers

[ARNAKLDO]

Both species should be given proper & equal care. Although, lions are now around 20,000 to 30,000 they are still vulnerable to people's threats. The tiger however isn't getting any better. it's true that the Siberian tiger did quite a come back, but are merely between the hundreds. The tiger population in overall is between 3,500 and 4,000. I'm assuming that's why people are more concerned about the tiger going extinct. But yeah, both cats deserve equal care.

[awishsymptons]

the natural world is seriously fucked people, like really fucked up.

[Harman38070]

How could u kill a lion i fuckin hate africans

[jsvalino]

Fuck these Negroes. I'm not a racist but these chocolate men forced me to become one.

[jsvalino]

Fuck humans! Feed them to the lions. If I only have the strength of Hercules I will limit human population.

[MrSuperSaiyan1000]

If africa kills all the lions imma hate the place and them and there new name is gotta be animal killers

[mrbigdik9]

This is So Sad that they are poisoning these Lions and Nobody doing anything about it and letting the Kenyans get away of killing off the lions why aren't prosecuted in Africa? this is Bad, Africans kill each other in millions and now they are killing the Symbol of Africa Shame on them!

[rudeboyazab]

lions and cats are the symbolism of africa..

[balto4]

It does seem like people are selective at what species to save,I think sometimes if livestock farmers want a species gone the government will cave. It happened in Tasmania,the Thylacine was killed in ridiculous numbers and was NOT protected until 3 months before the last zoo animal died-ridiculous and too late!!! It's also the same is in mainland Australia with dingoes they are almost extinct but are still listed as 'vermin' so can be killed

[jerpao13]

i read the chinese are repopulating the amur tiger they plan to have 1000 tigers by the end of 2010 they have i think 900 already.

[brassflower]

God, I wish human hunting was legal...

[brassflower]

Somebody hit the button already. Nuclear war will be a blessing to this planet. Human beings are a useless scourge upon this planet.

[radiospirit]

@brassflower Wow ... what a twisted mind that you have. Ever think about jumping off of a bridge? A very high bridge, perhaps?

[andy171282]

fucking lion killers !

[nonameplayer]

ppl who poison lion should be treated as murders and should be locked up for life!!

fucking bastards

[gurwinderbakky]

i am not genius but i am also researching on tiger.

i am sorry but your tiger census is not right. there are roughly 3,000 tigers left in the wild. i hope tiger population increase. i dont know much about lions, only thing i know is that in some countries lion hunting is legal. that should be ban and shoot order to poacher like India.

[marvelboyjason]

Fuck Niggers in America and Africa

[catman1233]

wow..really?why do they kill these poor things?and tigers are gonna be extinct too..cause people dont care about animals...they are just gonna keep on killing them to show their superiority...i dont care if tigers die though

[mapenzim]

Who cares if they go extinct? I don't, and mildly hope that they all get killed off. If you want them so much, go get 'em and keep them in your backyard.

[wowepicl]

hope you go extinct =]

[brassflower]

@mapenzim May you catch AIDS and die you useless fucker.

[phantompanther]

WAZA - "African lion: between 23000 and 40000. The species has disappeared from 40% of its historical range during the past 150 years. Asian lion: approx. 200"

PBS - "Their numbers have dwindled from 100,000 in the early 1990s to no more than 30,000 and as few as 16,000 today."

I'm not sure where you're getting "4,000"...? The Asian lions are in a lot of trouble though... =(

[guitarock102]

I love lions..but I am really scared of Liger's (Lions & Tigers) so yeah. But I like Lions alone! Lol I'm weird and complicated

[xjosh360]

wait no i just went to nat geo and there are 20,000 alive now sigh* wow i thought lions were done for

[xjosh360]

omg no wow this is horrible one of the only animals that can destroy tigers is now extinct wow man why do african lions have to be from africa if it were in a more careful place ppl would have bin known about this

[harleyanna2]

The best solution is to open the lion to controlled commercial hunts! That gives the lion an economical value to the African government. Animal rights idiots dont realize how they help lead animals to extinction when they fight against hunting!

[xake19]

Almost all African nations are poor. Resources are very limited and given a choice between lions and expanding agrarian initiatives, they would choose the latter.

This issue is a non issue in Africa, where choice is limited. To Westerners it is. Which is why, Western countries should forgive debts to these debt ridden nations and give assistance to curbing population growth and make sure the government is SECULAR.

[xake19]

Home Sapiens first appeared 250,000 yrs ago from the Great Rift in Africa (newly evolved from Homo Erectus) . Since our migration out of Africa to settle Europe, Asia and Australia, there was also MASSIVE extinction that followed.

As monotheistic religion entered our culture only recently (2,000 yrs ago), the ballgame has changed. Christians and Muslims mandate we copulate every 9 months to fill every square foot of this starving planet.

[xake19]

I am a biologist.

You did your work WRONG!

You CAN'T include all tiger subspecies as one. Each subspecies are distinct individual species of animals. The South China Tiger numbers 40 left in the world.

Also, don't forget that the world has hundreds of Asiatic Lions (P.I Persica) left also and some few tens of Barbary Lions (P.I. Leo) in zoos as well. But these are distinct subspecies and cant' be combined with the Panthera Leo Nubica (Masai Lions), which are the lions you speak of.

[mkuki2000]

What is your point of making this trash (video clip)...you should be happy that Lion will become instinct in African, but until then he is the King, and Tiger is the pussy cat of the jungle...you hate Lion because it's got the Crown to be The King of the jungle, but don't you worry much about Lion, because many powerful people with money, loves the Lion too much to let that happen!!

[mkuki2000]

@dodermann: You're wrong!! it's the white man who have the behaviour of exterminating animals on Earth...almost all animals in Europe are exterminated, ...The American Bison and American Lion was exterminated by the white man..now their are in South African hunting all animals to their extinction!!..fuck off man! we need to extinct all white devils and other trash, like Indians and colour people in SA.

[stephenpprice]

This is completely over hyped, there are other species of cat that are wayyy more endangered then the African Lion. for example the Amur leopard? less then 100 in the wild. and the Sumatran tiger, less then 400 in the wild? another peice of American over hype.

[stephenpprice]

+ there are NOT 4000 lions in Africa, theres 4000 leopards in asia wild. there are 10s of thousands of lions!

stupid yank.

[alti73]

@tigersownlions when u love tigers so much why dont you marry one?????hahahahahahaha

[number1asset]

part of evolution. could you save the t-rex. that was one hell of a predator. lion's are learning their lesson. never eat a human.

[stephenpprice]

the Trex was a completely different story? it wasnt hunted to extinction. flawed agrument there my friend...

[mkuki2000]

People need to send money to Africa, to save the Lions in Seregeti National Park (Tanzania)

[stephenpprice]

those lions are fine. they have no humans living in their park (even the maasai were kicked out) and have a yearly migration of game to feed them.

its the smaller parks that lack fund htat the money should go to, not the one that on the TV the most...

Saving the Last Lions

By Dereck Joubert

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

Just 50 years ago there were close to a half-million lions in Africa -- about 450,000 in all. Today there are between 16,000 and 23,000. And yet, unlike elephants (a far more numerous species), lions have no protection under the international accord governing such matters.

[SexyDinofeliz]

omg! thats so cruel to poison a lion.

i feel so sorry for them...

poor lions

='[ maybe im a tiger supporter but still i love all cats, big and small including lions

[MrBrainthrob]

well put together video. i didnt know the lions situation was so dire.

[Jedtumble]

And I disagree that Tigers are fine now

[webkinzirina]

NO THEIRE NOT!!!!!

[Jedtumble]

Africa with no lion is one dreadful place
