Donkeys bred in captivity offer easy pickings to two young lions. But their predatory instincts could well be their undoing as Nabian scientist and carnivore expert Philip 'Flip' Stander tells local farmers that they do have the right to kill the lions if the treat to their livestock is too great.

  • @Viva711711 ...

    @Viva711711 Possibly an option, but I remember watching a documentary a while back about these type of farmers, they have to move their animals around all the time because there's not enough food for the animals, so they have to move their herd around to let the grass/bushes etc. grow back.

    If that's the case here... you probably couldn't build an enclosure

  • @rockplannet1 Could ...

    @rockplannet1 Could you also say that the farmers lose money when a donkey is killed? In the long run, an enclosure would be best even if sacrifices had to be made. And if they truly cannot make any sacrifices (I acknowledge that is a very real possibility), then it would be great if a wildlife conservation organization would step in and provide them with the supplies to build an enclosure at no cost to the farmers.

    It's amazing to see how powerful a lion really is. Watching the speed at which they catch their prey is incredible. & the way in which they do it, straight for the neck.
