Viewing the carcass
Viewing the carcass. This magnificent lion was killed by a party of Masai natives. With only spears as weapons and with shields as their sole protection, these fearless hunters attack the lion in his jungle lair. This particular specimen was almost instantly killed with one spear throw, the weapon entering the chest and going clear through the body. The struggle is not always ended thus easily, the lion sometimes turning the tables and killing several of the natives.
Masai Killing Cattle
The steer is roped. Its feet tied together, and then roped and thrown to the ground. Its throat being slit with a long, sharp knife. It’s is then allowed to slowly bleed to death—rather a cruel method of killing. The natives first dig a trough to catch the blood, which is highly prized by them as a drink, and is also in connection with certain religious rites.
