This is fake right? South African sounding name (which happens to be one of a former president) + no mention of it anywhere else on line. Are we posting Onion articles now?<p>It&#x27;d be cheaper to fly up 25 hunters, expenses paid.

I used to work around the Hamptons, and dealt with Dan&#x27;s Papers a bit. This is definitely a joke.<p>EDIT: Yeah, I checked in. This is a hoax to draw attention to the government bringing in people to shoot the deer.

&gt; In any case, residents of the Hamptons are urged to stay indoors from December 29 &gt; to January 8 while the lions are loose.<p>Has to be fake, but pretty funny!
