Translation: "you imperialist westerners are out of touch, soft, and basically, anti-Africa (a stop short of 'racist'). How can you love a dangerous creature more than all us poor Africans"? Because there are 7 billion of us on the planet and only 30k lions left. We have had it really good (including Zimbabwe in terms of population growth) for 150 years, yet we have decimated our kindred animals using excuses like "conservation" or "danger". This article takes an instinct that was relevant 300 years ago and shamelessly punts it into our modern age, circumstances having changed enormously, in order ultimately to push another agenda.
