Villagers took revenge on a lion that killed their livestock by barbecuing and eating it, Zimbabwe's state-owned Sunday Mail newspaper says.
"It ate our animals, so it is only fair that we eat it too," a villager said. The paper said some believed they would get lion-like bravery and strength from the meat.
The lion - part of a pride that terrorised the Zimbabwean village for more than six months - was shot dead by parks authorities.
