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.
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.
