Oh absolutely we are. I'm familiar with that practice. My point is that, we're still quite on the menu when it comes to large predators such as the lion. Bush-dwelling Africans aren't stupid, and have developed effective defenses against predators despite having few resources to do so with. They fear being outside the protective defense of their village at night, and for very good reason.
