African Safari Guests Get A Thrill When A Leopard Makes An Unexpected Kill
Safari-goers had the thrill of a lifetime when they got to witness a leopard hunting his supper, as seen in the video above. A herd of impalas darted across the road, and one unfortunate soul ran right into a hungry leopard. Let's just say the leopard went home satisfied and the impala met an untimely end.

I can hear it already ! That "poor" Impala... Hey people, this is the natural order of life. Without the Leopard, the Impala's would overgraze the Savannah. And what about the Leopard ? What is if not for the other grazing animals is it supposed to survive on ? Perhaps some animal rights or P.E.T.A. person would like to provide the Leopards with their daily food requirements in a more "humane" way ?

I can hear it already! The poor souls who lost their jobs when Bain Capital downsized/outsourced them. Hey people, this is the natural order of life. Without Venture Capitalists the workers would overgraze the economy. And what about the CEO? How would he be able to earn a living, by actually producing something?Instead of merely acquiring companies and laying off or outsourcing thousands of American Workers and eliminating pension benefits.
Just saying...

Wow! Amazing how nature works!

It's "a thrilling sight" when a Lepord does the killing, even if he waste's most of it, but so "sad" if the animal is taken by a hunter.

This is nature in its perfect form. Hunting for game is nature in its most imperfect form. When humans hunt for game and use the grazing excuse it's downright disgusting. That's like saying open hunting season on humans in parts of the world where food is scarce. A pathetic argument! Others say “we eat everything we kill”. That would only make sense if all stores closed down and we have to survive on what we hunt down. Then we would be in harmony with nature's perfect form. All we humans have to do is learn from other animals, but we never do!

You shouldn't talk down about hunting the poor little animals with your mouth full of store bought steak!

That is not a thrill...that is survival. Please note the difference.

BOW SEASON JUST OPENED YESTERDAY ON DEER.I live in the country and was driving to the library,I saw a car parked on the side of the road.There was blood on the side,ahuge dent and the side mirror was ripped off.Another vehicle was parked in the road.A man was dragging a deer off the road.The deer had run into the car and thankfully nobody was hurt.As I continued on the road all of a sudden a herd of deer ran in front of me.We are overrun with deer in Michigan and hunting season is starting.I have 2 nephews who hunt and they eat what they kill.When I was a kid we rarely saw deer in lower Michigan.Now there are too many and they run in front of cars,motorcycles,and lay dead along the road.Sometimes they kill people.I think hunters should be allowed to take 5-10 each.The deer get diseases when they overpopulate,damage crops and gardens.There is nothing wrong with legally hunting them.

Good for you,helping to control the over-population.In my area,they have only 2 weeks I think in Nov.to shoot deer.We have too many of them now and too many cars hitting deer too.I've not eaten deer in 45 some years.

Survival of the " fittest ".I just had lamb for lunch at a Greek restaurant.:)

Steve, we need to control animal population! Otherwise disease and hunger sets in. I hunted all my life for as long as I remember. We always ate what we killed because it’s fresh and more nutritious for you then the junk in stores. There aint no thill in killing, we do it for food.

Is Israel powerful enough to destroy the Civilian insfracture and kill innocent civilians despite the inability to challenge and crush the Hezbollah group.

One benefit that numerous companies will appreciate is financial audits aren't required for companies that are at risk after they finish the
formation.Company incorporation might be the final part of Singapore's ethic enterprize model. This could enable the entrepreneurs to conduct their company without any stress. This really is really the very best move any corporation
might make and they come in benefits.(http://www.pickretrojordanshoesforsale.com/)

You people were lucky to get a chance to see the leopard feeding on the kill. Poor Impala though. In India I have seen a tiger hunting a number of times. in fact I get a lot of request for this particular thing from travelers when I book their safari tours to India (indiawildlifesafaris.com).
