Hmmm how'd she manage staying alive?

It says she might have been kept alive by the lions because of her crying which could have been mistaken for a mewing of one of the lions cub's but still kind of amazed how the lions did not just follow their instincts and basically just eat her.

Kidnapping young girls has long been part of the marriage custom in Ethiopia. The United Nations estimates that more than 70 percent of marriages in Ethiopia are by abduction, practiced in rural areas where most of the country’s 71 million people live.


Sounds like a nice place to live.

Too bad the lions did not eat some of those guys. Maybe that is the reason that some of them are "missing" :lol:

I can't believe the government there ALLOWS men to kidnap, beat, and rape 14 year old girls into marriage. Seems like something chould be done about this.

Maybe we should invade them on the premise of WMD's - then steal any natural resource they may have (which I think may just be long distance runners)

It's probably government sponsored.
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.
