most interesting article on lion hunt
ing. 1t is based on experiences he re-
during which he saw over 20 lions. An
extract from the article follows:

The realization that it is the mans life
or the beasts is disconcerting. Also
the charging lion is a spectacle much
more awe-inspiring in reality than the
most vivid imagination car predict. He
looks very large, very determined, and
has uttered certain rumbling, blood
curdling threats as to what he is going
to do about 1t. 1t suddenly seems most

that they are therefore doubly injurious.

The association has listed 500 fake
