You would think those cubs could be sold to zoo's and parks all around the world for big bucks, thousands perhaps or more. Senseless killings. But then again, what would one expect from an African nation.

Remember that guy who dug up a corpse to have sex with it because she looked cute in her obit picture? Does that tell us how perverted Americans are?

Edit: My point is it is easy to find examples of rampant stupidity/cruelty/incompetence anywhere. It is certainly not limited to Africa or any other continent. Antarcticans may be immune, however...

It's rather cold there, so that probably helps cut down on stupid human tricks. There might have been a few that tried in the beginning.....they serve as reminders...out there....frozen solid in the ice...with a surprised look on their face.

Education seems to lacking somewhere....how much money is the United States donating to Africa each year, you'd think a Zoo in the U.S. would be interested in those cats....
