There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

We discuss this before, these lions needs to be relocated away from this area, as they are escaping Kruger and are threat to human community near by, where they will be killed or kill someone otherwise.
As for fixing fences, these guys are not responsible for that, yet whole Kruger National Park. Maintaining hundreds km of fences regulary is prob really hard and expensive.
As for relocating north, yes, area proves to be dangerous for lions, but population of lions is very low, so from that standpoint is the best area to relocate lions. You cant just dump 5-10 lions in others lions territory.
I fully understand that at times animals must be moved from one area to another when risks are posed to areas that have a human population in them, and you're right, you can't just put them in another lions territory either. The issue that I, and many others have is why move them to an area that is synonymous with poaching and poisoning of animals? I mean, the Kruger National Park is a significantly sizeable area with undoubtedly far better options to relocate animals to, but for some unknown reason (at least for those of us not in the know) they keep sending animals north knowing full an well that the odds of them surviving there are slim. Just to follow up, I know that poaching, poisoning, snares, and other issues aren't just prevalent to Northern KNP, but it's definitely a hotspot for those issues more so than other areas which leads to people asking reasonable questions.
