Really?... I always thought it was vice-versa, the lions hunted, and the
hyenas stole... That's what Discovery Channel always says. Well, I'm
dyslexic, so don't trust me. Hmm... ::Ka-think, ka-think::

It's possible, but as it stands, the TLK world is 'devoid' of human =
intervention by canon. The game really goes back and forth when it comes =
to poaching ;) A single lion or lioness making a kill may have to give =
up the meal due to a pack of hyenas just like a pack of hyenas may avoid =
an AML at all costs. Of course, an angry lioness or pride will have size =
advantage and probably not hesitate to take advantage of that.

As for humans, it's been assumed that the TLK characters have no =
knowledge of them. Whether you are insinuating that humans are the =
original poachers or just asking if they were ever there, the story is =
probably to be told 'in translation'. Their understanding of poaching =
relates to their own lives.

. . . I always thought he said pooches!

As if 'poachers' makes any more sense. . .

Hm. . . I really don't think anything besides a human can be a poacher. .
. what -other- species do you know of kills for money?

Who knows. . .

I still think he says pooches. <g>

No, I think Zazu did say poachers, but I know he was talking about the
hyenas. Hmmm.. but as far as I know none of the LK characters know anything
about humans, they probabaly live in a part of Africa that no human has ever
been..I never thought of it before I'm not sure!

It's possible that "poachers" is meant in the general sense of "hunting
illegally." In other words, the lions consider it illegal for the hyenas
to be hunting in the Pride Lands.

In the human world, yes. IMHO it would be different in the TLK universe,
because (assuming there never have been humans there) their definition of
'poacher' is someone as Dave said who hunts illegally, as Dave said. Now,
the hyenas are trespassers in the Pride Lands, right? Presumably they would
sneak in to steal a meal, so 'poacher' seems as appropriate a word as any.

Yeh... but hyenas are scavengers IRL. Sure, they kill as a pack if they can,
but often they'll gang up on a smaller pride of lionesses. This seems to be
the theory in TLK as well - Banzai is willing to 'pick off one of the little
sick' wildebeest, but they clearly scavenge too. "It's the lionesses' job to
do the hunting..."

It's quite possible they did. Even so, would they have called themselves
poachers? Even spoken at all? Surely speaking in the presence of animals
would have disturbed them and made them run off?

Just my 2p. ;)

God bless
