Poaching link suspected as lions speared to death in Zimbabwe

The killing was the latest in a string of recent attacks by lions in Zimbabwe.

The attack came after four people were killed in a lion attack in Harare, after a man from the town was fatally shot after a “man-eating” attempt that was later revealed to have involved killing a bull.

The killing in Zimbabwe could be the first recorded death of a member of the lion species in the southern African nation since the animals were hunted to near extinction in the 1970s.

A lion, the most fear퍼스트카지노ed beast in the world, is widely considered to have only 2,500 members worldwide but an estimated 200-500 live in Zimbabwe.

More than 90% of lions are killed for sport by hunters. A further 17,000 are left in captivity to be killed for use in entertainment.

The last attack by lions in Harare, sparked by a dispute over food, came nearly a year after the death of a senior conservationist.

Rashid Majeed died in June 2014 after four lions attacked him and a companion at a market.

Majeed, the founder and chief executive of the non-governmental animal charity, was attacked by two wildebeests at dawn on 19 November 2013.

He died on 18 March 2014 after undergoing seven operations at the Kudan경주출장샵 경주출장안마kulam National Park Hospital.
