I wish humanity would stop growing already, its LONG overdue.

The balance of nature is suffering due to the mindless, neverending procreation of humans. You'd think that in these past thousands of years a few of them would have figured out that you can have sex without constant pregnancies!! Animals and nature have a balance when one group becomes overpopulous - man does not have this and so has become a dangerous parasite on the planet.

I think this is enough. there wouldn't be too much hunger if there weren't a mass production of humans on the first place. that's right, not everyone care about the resources, or other life forms in this planet. And if there are proposals in the governments to limit human births, people complain about their rights. Then why don't they behave like humans and not overproduce like ants on the first place.

@Wishingstarification too much live stock .. too many people ..

[Wishingstarification]

All these comments are nonsense. These are poor Africans trying to SURVIVE! If you really care about these lions, clear out north america for them!

@baldwin1e considering 80 million humans are added to the planet every year it wouldnt bother me

[yas4elaywan]

people r so greedy, they STILL kill lions 4 thier fur, God created life, animals and mankind, Mankind created money, what is more important to protect and respect what God gave us or what mankind made?

[IknowJohnLear]

I'd like to see Americans have this sort of problem....

[baldwin1e]

In all honesty, if you were born there and these cows were your life and food source... you would protect them as well! It's easy to pass judgement when you are not walking in someone elses shoes! Imagine if it were you and you had children there? If a lion comes into your territory and takes a cow... it is smart to think that next time it could be your child! I hope these people keep their cows off the reserve! Taunting cows in front of them is stupid....

[baldwin1e]

I am neutral on this. I love lions...and it kills me to see any of them die! And it is their natural instinct to kill... so if they see a herd of cows they will strike if they are hungry. I think these people should try to keep their cattle off the reserve! If they bring them into the lion's territory then it's their fault... but if the lions venture into their territory and off the reserve then it's not the people's fault! It's tough but it's survival of the fittest! I just hope the lions learn
