The primary problem is the farmers. Out of fear for their herds, they shoot or poison the lions.

If one only shoots male lions that are older than six, there's no longer a need for a limit. The population will regulate itself.

There seems to be general agreement here that trophy hunting is not the cause of this lion decline.

You're afraid of your own anger.

I am a mother and mothers don’t have the luxury of falling apart in front of their children, even when they are afraid, even when their children are adults.

I fear this tragic avalanche is the first of many to come this winter...and the danger will increase with more snowfalls.
