Kenyan Masai woriors killed lions to as a show of manhood. But this stopped very many years ago. We now protect our wildlife by any means necessary. In which century are Ugandans?

Isn't @ugwildlife supposed to compensate him?!!! Coz it's two way. If we poach we get arrested and if the wild attacks us… then UWA pays us.
