Rather confront a tetchy lion than a human

There is every reason to celebrate life in the midst of a dehumanising society that is marred by violent service delivery protests, a soaring crime rate, road carnage, corruption and a crisis in education.

It is safer to walk  through the Kruger National Park than it is to stroll through our cities’ streets at night,   writes  Mpototi Zwane of Malvern.

Charleen Hatting and her fiancé, Bertus Honeyball,  are ample examples of this.

 The Citizen of August 3  reported that the nature lovers survived three days and two nights walking about the Kruger National Park.

They proved that, when walking in the middle of the night, it is better to come across a lion rather than to be accosted by a fellow human being.

 This is because our nihilism has soared to the scale of  raping babies and grannies, incest, bestiality and spousal murder.
 
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read that the couple traversed the park, which  teems with its ferocious predators, but emerged with life and limb intact.

Comparatively animals seem friendlier than our fellow beings.

The moral of the story is for us to treat animals with the care and love nature deserves.

It should also discourage humans from practising cruelty such as poaching rhino for their horns.
