Lions left only the poacher's skull and a pair of his pants, officials say.

 

Oddly satisfying. Go animals... 😁

A classic case of "my karma ran over your dogma."

I saw this story as well, and poetic justice came to mind.  The other thing that amazed me was the amount of money people will pay for something that a culture believes has some sort of aphrodisiac properties.  It is sad to see these animals sacrificed for a myth.

In this case, I see a happy ending. Poachers are uncool.

 

But in some instances, the animals are starting to overpopulate, hunters are sold tickets to hunt them (the money goes to the government like taxes), and the locals get to eat the meat.  It's a win for the locals,  when it's done correctly

What's an intrudard?

Two lions escaped from the National Zoo in Washington, DC.  As pursuers approached, they hastily agreed to meet again in a month.

 

At the appointed time, the lions met.  One was scrawny, and the other looked well-fed.  "I've been having a terrible time finding food," said the scrawny lion.  "How have you been making out?"

 

"I found a wonderful hiding place in the Pentagon," said the well-fed lion.  "I eat one general per week.  It'll be years before they notice that anybody's missing!"

Sounds like some reputation points are called for as penance.*

   *for the hilarious lion joke

   *for everything else posted by us, ever

 

"Intrudard" is actually not a bad new word at all...

Actually Intudard was complete typo, but when i saw it.... For it to describe someone getting shot breaking in a home, was as if it was meant to be

You missed rep-pointing a post, so no credit for your serendipitous brilliance.

You misspelled "intrudard."  

Only NB could misspell his own misspelled word.
