Whilst I certainly enjoy seeing wildlife at the fences at camp it is disheartening to think that eventually the Hyena that frequents the fence may be shot as it becomes a menace .I know the park always wants to be tourist friendly but wish they would post a few pics by the fences of a dead hyena to show the tourists what happens after they become a menace .

The problem is that they don't care what happens to the animal once they have left the park; they really don't think that they could possibly have any bearing on the future of the animal, after all, what harm could a couple of chop bones do?
