Let’s start from the beginning.

It all began last year with Melissa Bachman.

Melissa Bachman is a TV host who mostly hosts hunting television programs. In November, she posted a picture with a dead male lion on her Facebook page with the caption:


“An incredible day hunting in South Africa! Stalked inside 60 yards on this beautiful male lion…what a hunt!”

The internet reacted accordingly by losing its mind. And then this past week it happened again.

This is Kendall Jones.

Kendall Jones is a 19-year-old girl from Cleburne, Texas. And recently she’s become a fairly well-known figure on Facebook for her controversial page.

She’s been hunting big game in Africa since she was 13 years old. When she’s not hunting, Jones is a cheerleader for Texas Tech University.

So, yeah, she posts these pictures to her Facebook page…

Not cool. For anyone who has been on safari in Africa, you know just how fucked up it is to kill a lion. Here’s why.

I spent a few days in Botswana last month with lion experts and filmmakers, Beverly and Dereck Joubert.

The two of them have been researching lions for 30 years. They’ve made 25 films for National Geographic

One thing that the Jouberts said to me that really stuck was, “Hunting a lion is the most cowardly thing you can do.”


So when Melissa Bachman or Kendall Jones or anyone who safari hunts posts pictures of their kills, I’m not impressed.


First off, “stalking” lions means you have a guide. That guide takes you out in a big van.

Our guide’s name was James.

You find buffalo.

It’s not always buffalo, but generally the lions stay close to animals they’re hunting.

And BOOM. There’s a lion sitting in the shade. Relaxing.

Now for the lions themselves.

Here were three things I learned:
1. Lions are big cats (duh). They act like them too.
2. They just sleep and sit around all day, like cats.
3. Lions do not give a shit about you. They see you as that big van. They don’t mess with you.


There was one instance when we were out with the lions and they sat next to our truck and used it as shade. They were literally three feet away from us.

Beverly Joubert
That’s me. Sry.

Here a male lion is walking right next to the car I’m in.

Beverly Joubert
Like, I am straight up chilling next to a pride of lions.

Beverly Joubert
Still just sitting there. They aren’t moving.

Beverly Joubert
We actually had to start the engine to startle them a bit so they would walk away from the shade of our truck.

Just to show you how incredibly difficult it is to hunt a lion…here’s a selfie I took next to one.

As you can see, the lion tried to run away from us.


JK, he fell asleep…


…and tried to block the light from his eyes.


To sum things up:

Hunting a lion isn’t very hard. To kill a lion you have to be a coward.
