Until lions tell their side of the story the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.
It is not that hunters kill lions in Africa. No, they don't! The
background here is that often when hunters return from hunting, they
would tell great stories to emphasize their achievements and hunting
skills. Imagine a hunter brings home a dead lion and tells of how he had
killed it through his great skill and bravery, earning him a lot of
respect and praise. But that lion could well have died through some
accident or sickness. The lesson conveyed by this proverb is that a
story is never complete until we hear from all the sides. The one who
does not have a voice or who does not have the means to publish their
side of the story, is often treated as loser. Be impartial!
