I quote from the newspaper article i read this in ...Six lions have been slaughtered by angry villagers outside Tarangire National Park in western Arusha, Tanzania, tainting Tanzania’s reputation as one of the remaining world’s lions safe heaven. Nearly 100 furious Olasiti villagers at Minjingu area shot down two lions and speared to death four others in retaliation following the stray lions allegedly attacking and marauding three donkeys in a kraal (an enclosure for cattle or other livestock). Kishimay Ndalepoi, one of the Maasai villagers, said the lion was considered a great enemy in the Maasai community. “Wherever the Maasai encounter a lion, the only thing which comes up in his or her mind is killing it,” said Ndalepoi, adding that a lion is an enemy, which could kill human beings or livestock. this speaks to a point i recently made about our value in the beauty of our wildlife being completely different, depending on culture - massai hate anything that will kill their livestock and yet their livestock in many many instances surrounding the parks has been bought by money they have come upon from tourism yet they kill the very goose thats laying the golden eggs ... heres the rest of the article : ippmedia/frontend/index.php?l=75864
