Then you shoot him point blank in the chest? Even a hyena never eats its offspring. If this guy actually killed his son he should be taken to the maasai Mara and thrown to the hyenas so that they can teach him about parenting. That is to disembowel him and teach him a lesson.
In the wild, dominant male normally kill/eat their male offprings to eliminate competition.
Angelica in the world of hyenas the female dominates. They are bigger and even have a pseudo penis.It's the females that eat the weaker offsprings. The female also has 2 nipples which is too little to suckle the litter. The weak ones become a snack for the mother.
Also in the hyena society, especially the spotted hyenas, the males are at the bottom of the food chain.
@Hardwood Hyena zinakula watoto. Maybe you give another example!
