On today's episode of "The Sign Reads": "The Man-eater of Mfuwe:
The largest Man-eating lion on record, The Man-eater of Mfuwe (pronounced Muh-FU-way) terrorized the residents of Zambia's Luangwa River Valley in 1991. After devouring its sixth known victim, this lion paraded through the streets, roaming and carrying a clothes bag that it had taken from the victim's home. This behavior convinced the local residents that this lion was a demon or sorcerer. In the past, residents would have been able to kill the lion themselves. But hunting is now severely restricted. The Zambian government only allows safari hunting for the income it generates. Lacking the resources needed and the ability to protect themselves, residents were relieved when former Chicagoan Wyane Hosek shot and killed the lion during a safari in the region."
