Lion Kill in Kariba town

Hi all.

A more sombre blog today unfortunately.

We have just had word of another Lion attack in Kariba town which has resulted in someone losing their life...




Please take a moment to read the information below which came to Turbo Glass via email and pass it on to anyone you may know who lives in the town or surrounding areas.

KARIBA ANIMAL WELFARE FUND TRUST IN CONJUNCTION WITH  ZIMBABWE PARKS & WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY

Further to the LION KILL ALERT sent out  below this update, on Tuesday March 5th .

A man was found late Tuesday afternoon who suffered the same fate in the same area but it is believed this incident happened on Monday.

Parks and Wildlife are patrolling during the course of Tuesday night.in the various areas in Kariba that residents claim to have seen Lion

Some reports are 2 Lioness and other are 5 lions.

Again due to the thickness of the bush from the rains, it is very difficult and dangerous to find where the Lion are

Please note that this area is a National Park area with Wild Life and although this kind of incident is unheard of within the town area, as we have just experienced, it can happen.

Wild animals can cover vast areas so one cannot think this is Mahombekombe side, the Heights is clear – nowhere is clear when there is Wild Life

PLEASE STAY OUT OF THE BUSH   and pass the message on to everyone you know and your employees to   STAY OUT OF THE BUSH

We will put out an email advising if Parks and Wildlife have managed to locate and deal with the lion, as soon as we are notified.

If anyone sees any Lion in the near vicinity please contact any of the below

KAWFT - URGENT ALERT - LION KILL

We have confirmed with Parks & Wildlife that a Lion has killed a Lady near the Mahombekombe Primary School today/Tuesday 5 March

2 people were in the bush and the lion attacked the Lady.

Parks and Wildlife only saw the tail end of the lion and are unsure if it was on its own or if there are more and because of the thick bush could not see if it was a male or female

PLEASE STAY OUT OF THE BUSH   and pass the message on to everyone you know and your employees to   STAY OUT OF THE BUSH...
