I agree Flutts. :-(

But I also wonder why the bull has become so agressive.

The Balule conservancy stretches for quite a way south of and along the Olifants River near Phalaborwa, and most farms have access to Kruger hence fences down per agreement etc.

Unusual behaviour! -O-

Lions kill two people in Zimbabwe resort town

Wildlife rangers in Zimbabwe say they have put the northern resort town of Kariba on full alert after rogue lions mauled two people to death.

An arm and the remains of a corpse were found by rangers hunting for the lions.

The National Parks and Wildlife Authority said fliers were being handed out in the town and volunteers were using a loudspeaker to caution townspeople about the dangers of lion attacks on the shores of Lake Kariba, a man-made hydroelectric dam popular for fishing and tourism.

It said one man had escaped from a lion attack on Tuesday, but the woman with him was savaged to death. An arm and the remains of a second corpse were found by rangers hunting for the lions.

The authority warned people against walking at night and using footpaths through the bush as shortcuts.

Maybe the animals are taking the law into their own paws as the humans don't protect them -O- -O-

Local newspaper reported today that a Lioness and her two cubs were trapped and put down by rangers. The Lioness had been injured in a poachers trap and was therefore unable to hunt usual prey?

Not sure how accurate this info is?
