LION HUNTING
It is a fact that lions lose every time there is an interaction between lions and humans. A majority of the lions in Africa and Asia have been killed by people. Though people are killed by lions on extremely rare situations, they kill livestock such as goats and cows for food. Therefore in order to safeguard their property and themselves, people started killing lions.
Lions have always been a wonder to mankind because they are the king of the jungle literally. And I think in a way man has always admired the lion because like the lion man is literally the king of all the earth. Lions have been used over the centuries by many of mankinds ideas.
Fore example Lions were used in the Roman fights during ancient times. Lions were kept in pits and the looser of the fighting that went on whatever it may have been were thrown to the lions. Literally and they were eaten alive.
Today lion hunting is still going on in the world and it really is a shame as the lions numbers in the wild dwindle. People still kill lions and sell their parts on the black market. Just like many other rare or exotic animals there is a black market for lion goods.
For centuries, hunting lions has been a way of showing how brave someone was. Amenhotep III, the Egyptian pharaoh who was the ruler in around 1375 B.C used a bow and arrow while riding on his chariot to hunt lions.
