Attack or Subdue!

If i tried to kill you, would you lie down waiting?

If i came for your means of earning a living, would you give it to me without a fight?

If i tried to repress your freedom, would you submit?

If your answers to any of the above is YES, then you should stop reading this blog at this moment.

So, yesterday some Maasai Morans brutally killed six lions, for the full story read here. I agree that the way they handled the matter was not the smartest way possible, but if you are answered NO to all the above questions, don’t you think you are been hypocritical? You are ready to defend your livelihood; but you question how some villagers who know nothing else other than farming and grazing of animals opt to defend their means of livelihood. These lions were a danger to both their means of earning a living and also to their lives and those of their families.

That is the reason of the heading, the villagers had two options to attack or subdue to the lions. Enough times, we have heard of how wild animals have escaped from the various National Parks, how comes the fences weren’t put up then? If the lions had succeeded in murdering any of the villagers or multiple of the villagers; would the government conduct a search warrant for the lions? If the lions were captured, what would happen to them?

 

People lose their humanity when we stop fighting for each other.
