She bit his foot off but he stabbed her to death with his simi while she did it. He then crawled to the road and got a bus to hospital. He was still herding cattle when i met him. He was the only masaii i met wearing trainers so he could hide his prosthetic foot. Tough people Fair play to him mate for killing the lioness..like you say tough people.. Was you on a safari holiday tyla.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Long story but the jist of it is I used to live in zanzibar and employed a masaii as a security guard, we became mates and I went to visit his family in the bush on the mainland. Quite the adventure it turned out to be 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't read his books to be honest mate, I read big game books as a kid because they were a form of escapism, the guy piers is interviewing has lived a life less ordinary, piers is funny in that clip "shot them to death" there would have been a far bigger outcry if he had just "shot them to wound". 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same here mate always found Jim Corbetts book's a good form of escapism as a kid growing up around pits and the steelworks still do if I am being honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh_red 4,711 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 It does look a bit like American warewolf The discussion has changed from the original post to a sort of canned hunt direction which wasnt what was described in the original post . A big part of the hunting for sport is for the enjoyment of it . Cant say all people involved in the fox hunts are all about stock preservation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just found a clip I made for my son while up the tree lol 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
