Its the dry season over in Kenya. Most of the predetors are lean both in the Mara and Amboselli. So HWC happens more frequently. Loonkito left the park (which he probably did many, many times over his 2 decade lifespan) and preyed upon some livestock. BBC News reported the villiages were not happy about killing him as they know him. He was weak and probably starving. It is a shame but Amboselli needs some fresh blood as it is not open to other reserves. No other lion in the wild would be able to reach his age.
What I can't fathom is with all the non lethal deterrents used for riot control, etc.... none of the rich billionaires who want to push their agenda on everyone else does not donate non lethal deterrents? They push their environment agenda on everyone else but do nothing for actual real wild animals in danger.

So, six lions were killed in what is being called a community slaughter. Officials tried to push the lions out, but residents rioted and killed 6 lions. I think this is the same area where LoonKito was killed. So apparently the locals are now on a mission.

Hey man, just a heads up, certain people these days might mis-construe your comment and might take it literally. Be very careful what you comment on over the internet.
I feel very upset about lions getting killed and speared to death, poisoned as well.
Just wanted to friendly point that out for you.

Quoting the original Instagram post:
The lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda are famous for their ability to climb trees easily and spend extended periods up there.. Here, you can see two lions resting high up in a tree, engaging in a favorite pastime common to all cats: observing and watching from an elevated position.
