Why'd they have to kill it?

• myrmidon 2y ago
  Because it was hunting their livestock. Bigger predators and sheep/goats/etc don't mix well in general (should not be a surprise). Protecting the rights of bigger predators over those of shepherds/farmers is something that rich nations can afford, but it still meets a lot of popular opposition (=> see wolves/brown bears in central Europe). An economically weaker nation like Egypt can not justify a move like that, especially if the animal in question is useless for tourism, too. Don't worry too much tough, spotted Hyenas are not threatened.

    Or wolves in Yellowstone. Or grizzlies in Washington. Everybody loves the idea of reintroducing wildlife. Nobody likes the idea of releasing a grizzly bear within 500 miles of their house.

    That's fair. Thanks for the explanation.
