This story amazed me. I remember as a child looking at Iron Lungs and they looked so scarry to me they were like a life support system but even stranger because they were like this huge metal coffin.

Read this and maybe you will change your mind! I can't believe it!!!

This nearly made me feel sick. Just the thought of what this poor mother is going through. Let alone what the poor little girl endured.

Perhaps you should look at the records of lions hunting people in villages.

One of the best-known episodes of repeated lion attack occurred in Kenya in 1898. Rail construction was going on about 40 miles north of Tsavo National Park when two lions began killing the workers. Twenty-six Indians and a similar number of Africans lost their lives before the lions were shot.

In 1932, another famous series of attacks commenced in Tanzania near the southern town of Njombe.

It took until 1947 to kill the final 15 lions from the pride and by this time over 1,000 people had been killed, with some being eaten. The lions of Njombe were a particularly interesting case as there seemed no obvious reason why they should start attacking man; their normal prey was in abundance and the cats were healthy.


An increase in lion attacks in rural Tanzania threatens both local people and lion conservation efforts, scientists report today in Nature.



Recently, a team led by Dr Craig Packer of the University of Minnesota compiled data:

The number of lion attacks has increased significantly since 1990, with more than 563 Tanzanians killed and at least 308 injured by lions in that time.


In rural areas, Dr Packer's team reports, "lions pull people out of bed, attack nursing mothers, and catch children playing outside".

Same goes with Dingo's! Remember AZARIA? Just imagine what cattle think of us? We kill their young too. Maybe the word that should be used in circumstances regarding 'wild-life' is RESPECT! :idea:
