Ja, Bruce, but our lions have to deal with the highways, taxis, buses, strikes, millions of people etc. And they don't escape, they flee, as other lions are trying to kill them inside! Not easy!

Re: Eight escaped lions from Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park recaptured
Stories appearing and questions being raised around these lions very worrying ,I have seen questions about this on another group as well... :
SA - WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIONS in Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park?
W.A.R has sent a letter with questions to Park Manager Mr. Jabulani Ngubane regarding the recent outbreaks of lionesses and cubs as well as 2 male lions from Hluhluwe Imfolozi park. Sources have claimed that one or both of the lionesses and all cubs were shot.
As the South African people are taxpayers and thereby contribute to the maintenance, protection and upkeep of the park, joined by the Dutch and Swedish people who donated to the Postcode Lottery which supports parks in South Africa with substantial amounts of money, all of them are in fact employing the staff at the park and are therefore entitled to receive answers to any and all questions re the park.
We wait in anticipation the answers and report on these escapes.
