Anyone come ever across the elusive Rainboe?

I thought it was impossible to get banned on Ops-Normal, not that I ever heard he had been.

I'm not sure of the connection between the title and the text of this posting.

Breeding lions in captivity - probably bad, but there are arguments in favour under certain circumstances.

Talking of banning, what has happened to Ops-Normal's resident bile and crap-spouting Corbyn-admiring Guardian reader?

Well, that's not me although I wear coats of many colours.
There is no real connection other than my fumble fiddling digital disgustingness.
Rainboe banned himself years ago I fear, an acerbic but very knowledgable BA Captain who was pelted on the other side by proonoids, simply because he really didn't suffer fools. But that was long ago and I think his knowledge base would have been too deep for less than ops abnormal.

No one with that handle or even similar has ever graced these pages. And I should know.

"Impossible" is probably not quite the correct term. "Damn-near impossible" is probably more accurate.

In keeping with the thread title, can I commend Scent of Fear by Tony Park. It features farming of Lions in captivity ultimately as Big Game targets for trophy hunters.

The whole captive lions trade is utterly despicable. Fuelled by demand from the Far East (mainly China) and the greed and corruption of South Africa.
