It’s Better to be White in South Africa

SOUTH AFRICA: 2 GUILTY OF FEEDING VICTIM TO LIONS

A judge handed
down murder convictions for a farm owner and an employee who were accused
of beating a rural laborer and then throwing him to 20 rare white lions.

The farmer, Mark Scott-Crossley, and his employee, Simon Mathebula,
were said to have attacked Nelson Chisale with knives in January 2004,
after Mr. Chisale, who had been fired, came to collect his belongings.
Mr. Chisale was tied to a tree and beaten, then driven to the lion
enclosure and thrown over its fence. Only part of a skull, a few bones
and shredded
clothes remained when the police searched the pen. Testimony never
established whether Mr. Chisale was alive when he was tossed to the lions.
The spectacular
case was held up as an example of continuing racism.

Racism, just because they gave the guy to WHITE lions? Showing some
sort of favoritism over regular brown or tan lions? Isn’t that taking
Political Correctness a lit-tle too far?
