Why Killing A Lion Is The Most Cowardly Thing You Can Do
I spent a few days in Botswana last month with lion experts and filmmakers, Beverly and Dereck Joubert.
One thing that the Jouberts said to me that really stuck was, āHunting a lion is the most cowardly thing you can do.ā
So when Melissa Bachman or Kendall Jones or anyone who safari hunts posts pictures of their kills, Iām not impressed.
First off, āstalkingā lions means you have a guide. That guide takes you out in a big van.
Itās not always buffalo, but generally the lions stay close to animals theyāre hunting.
And BOOM. Thereās a lion sitting in the shade. Relaxing.
Now for the lions themselves.
Here were three things I learned:
Lions are big cats (duh). They act like them too.
They just sleep and sit around all day, like cats.
Lions do not give a shit about you. They see you as that big van. They donāt mess with you.
There was one instance when we were out with the lions and they sat next to our truck and used it as shade. They were literally three feet away from us.
Here a male lion is walking right next to the car Iām in.
Still just sitting there. They arenāt moving.
Just to show you how incredibly difficult it is to hunt a lionā¦hereās a selfie I took next to one.
As you can see, the lion tried to run away from us.
ā¦and tried to block the light from his eyes.
Hunting a lion isnāt very hard. To kill a lion you have to be a coward.
