From the BBC:
A well-known South African conservationist has died after he was mauled by two white lions as he was taking them for a walk. The wife of West Mathewson, who followed in a car, tried to distract the lions but it was too late.
The lionesses have since been moved to another game lodge and are expected to be released into the wild at a later stage.
Also from the BBC:
A polar bear has killed a man in Norway's Arctic Spitsbergen island, local officials say. The attack occurred at a campsite near Longyearbyen, the main town of the island in the Svalbard archipelago.
The bear was then shot and found dead at the local airport.
The polar bear is shot and the lionesses are released into the wild? Seems a bit inconsistent.

It's not just cows

The polar bear was obviously a Russian agent. After they were discovered and shot, they tried to fly out of the country.
B, aha, thanks, I couldn't work out why it struggled to the airport after being shot.
Read Susan Crockford's explanation of the events at Whats Up With That. Seems to have been a lazy piece of environmental management by TPTB.
Apart from the South African Darwin award winner, perhaps the polar bear wasn't wearing a mask? Reason enough to shoot it, I would think. Perhaps the next targets should be the cretins on the TUI flight who infected the rest of the plane.
Dec, that's a classic article! Link here for those who want a giggle.
P, Covid 19 seems to be becoming markedly less harmful, in Europe at least. Anybody who flies abroad must accept the risks associated with sitting it IMHO.
You branching out from cows?
I bet the autopsy report says it died of Covid . . .
JH, I do 'animal attacks' in general. It just happens that most animal attacks are by cows.
DCB, probably.
Is it normal to take lions for a walk? It is damned difficult taking domestic cats for a walk let alone lions
G, clearly he thought it was normal. He was wrong.
