PITY THE POOR LIONS!
Hunters in Africa Actually Kick tho
Rrutes Out of Their Way.

Hunters in Africa Actually Kick tho
srutes Out Of Their Way.
A globe trotter and a hunter, by
name Percy Stanhope, is an English
man who may or may not have a
sense of humor. Here is what he
said in New York recently about lion
hunting in Africa:
"You hear them talk of lion hunt
ing in Africa as though it were the
king of sports. It's a beastly shame
the way they treat the poor beasts.
Why, when I was out in British East
Africa two years ago there was q
movement ON foot to punish lion hunt
ers for cruelty to animals. In fact.
they were seriously taking . up the
question with the home government.
1.-The lives of the poor lions are be-
ing made a burden to them. / can re-
member when the lions would como
in out of the jungle and sit on the
some of those cruel Englishmen actu-
ally booted the beasts out Of the way.
Think Of it, the cruelty of it all!
"There being no foxes available the
sportsmen out in those parts have a
habit of stirring up a lion and pur-
suing the poor beast with whoops and
yells until it drops dead Of exhaustion
and actual fright. The poor beasts
have been so terrorized that when
they see a white man they whimper
from fright. This fear shortens the
life Of the lions, and unless drastic
