#WorldLionDay 2018 āI killed a lion today I shot him with my bare hands. First bullet went into his abdomen, Where I loved to tickle him as a cub. He landed hard but still fought⦠Second bullet went into his chest, I held him there once too, an awesome selfie! A glass of bubbly in the hand. He writhed in pain, his crying roar filling the air. Still, he refused to die! Never shoot the head⦠that beautiful dark mane, a glorious accolade mounted on the wall⦠Priceless! Head must be clean! Tāwas the same one I petted, how cute was he? Abandoned by mum, they said. Third bullet⦠in the leg! You know we walked together⦠I heeded the call of the wild and walked with the King! His deafening cries, no end And then⦠The fatal one. Bullet through the heart! Release⦠from the unbearable PAIN of betrayal! By ones who nurtured him, loved him? The silence is barren... I killed a lion today But the bullets were NOT from my gun!"
