Example:

"We are fair game," says Hossein, a 22-year-old painter with bundles under both arms. He comes from El-Baida and has sworn never to return. On Friday, he says, he was shot at from a helicopter. "It was in front of a large mosque," he says. "There were 200 of us, maybe 250 people."

Dark-nosed lions are 'fair game'

Trophy hunters are being urged to shoot only lions with dark noses so as to do the least damage to big cat numbers
