Thank you.
Jane, whilst on this. You posted on blogs. Pity, discussions would get you more people joining in (I think/believe). I am quite certain that because many blogs are very long, some people won't look but discussions under forum are more frequently read. I would like to see many more people responding and following your lead but here we are, three of us! On the question of cats or Maasai, OK to a point, but you make a good point that attracts animal lovers but not animal 'haters' of whom (trusting in humanity) lots must care about other people. So, it is a bit of both and I hope we can stop being alone on the post - perhaps repost your original under discussions and let's be optimistic!
Ron,
It seemed to me that there would be a better response to animals than to humans, that is why I said that the threat was to the cats. Sad but true.
Big game hunting, is an issue, but the atrocity is the abuse and displacement of indigenous peoples who's semi-nomadic lifestyle is guardian to an already fragile eco-structure.
