That's what the Globe's been giving me about South Africa.
Judge OKs hunting of captive-bred lions
The International Fund for Animal Welfare said: "This ruling puts canned hunting right back on the agenda and further entrenches South Africa's image of a country that puts animal welfare last while profiteering from an abhorrent form of hunting practice."
The South African Predator Breeders Association warned that the captive lions, which number more than 3,000, may need to be euthanized as the legislation reduced their commercial value.
That's what everything in this world comes down to, doesn't it?
It's commercial value.

S. Africa arrests 11 suspected rhino poachers
South African police said yesterday that they have arrested 11 suspected members of a major rhinoceros poaching ring that they link to many attacks.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, rhino poaching has increased dramatically in the last two years because of high demand for rhino horn in Asia, where it is sometimes used for medicinal purposes.
South Africa, which hosts more than 90 percent of the world’s rhino population, has been losing some 20 rhinos per month. Yesterday’s arrest coincided with World Rhino Day.
Kayaker presumed dead in crocodile attack
An acclaimed outdoorsman who wrote movingly about testing himself against nature is presumed dead after a crocodile snatched him from his kayak while he led an American expedition from the source of the White Nile into the heart of Congo.
Two Americans being guided by the 35-year-old South African Hendrick Coetzee on the grueling trip could only watch in horror.
Another kind of crocodile: Many men admit to rape in S. Africa study
Ever get the feeling the agenda-pushing prism of a newspaper is trying to sell you a certain view of Africa -- as if the globalists need to be there to watch over it all just in case?
Colonialism never ends; it just comes in different forms.
In S. Africa, AIDS medications used to get high
AIDS patients in South Africa are being robbed of their life-saving drugs so that they can be mixed with marijuana and smoked, authorities and health specialists say.
Foreign observers say they have not heard of such abuse outside South Africa, and are unaware of research into whether AIDS drugs can add anything to a marijuana high.
The AmeriKan media must be smoking something if they expect me to believe this s***.
And what has been forgotten (must be the whoonga):
Israeli-linked organ dealers busted in South Africa's largest healthcare firm
The biggest health care firm in South Africa has been charged with cooperating with an Israeli-linked organ trafficking syndicate. The South African government said that the head of the Netcare company and a director of the St. Augustine's Hospital in Durban, Richard Friedland, had been aware of illegal kidney trade at the hospital, but "nevertheless permitted these operations" to take place, South African daily The Times reported on Wednesday. The police said that wealthy Israelis paid organ dealers between 2001 and 2003, the year when the ring was exposed, the German Press Agency (DPA) reported.

Seems to be a worldwide thing when you start cutting it all open (bad pun intended; what monsters)!
Is that why Kissinger, Rockefeller, Shapiro, Bush, et al, all live to be walking corpses?
