Whilst it's not inherently "good" news, it's not like lions, tigers, rhinos etc choose to be shot at by humans, so it's all fair for me when they attack.

Similar when a bull fighter gets his face gouged to pieces by a bulls horns. Good. Don't attack a bull with a sword you cowardly ****.

How not so, is the question IMO. I hope they enjoyed their meal, more to
follow hopefully.

They ate him raw apparently.

Not even a dash of salt, well it's not really needed.

First rule in the Wild - Don't run, and if you have to run, make sure you run faster than the slowest runner in the group. :o
