Reply To: The consequences of NOT killing lions
Perhaps heroin addicts or fictitious human borders seem important to preserve. The fact is that lions are on their way out. It won’t take long either…2050 seems to be the estimate. Tigers are barely alive, there are less than 4,000 left. Zoos are becoming museums; I hope our grandchildren enjoy rats and roaches.
According to National Geographic, some 200,000 lions roamed across Africa a century ago. Today, there are less than 30,000.

Of the original nine subspecies of tigers, three have become extinct in the last 80 years; an average of one every 20 years. It has been predicted all tigers may become extinct in the wild within the next decade.
