The Ezemvelo KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife has taken a decision to put down a pride of six lions after they had escaped from the Hluhluwe Game reserve and allegedly killing livestock from the surrounding communities.

Residents staged several community protests that resulted in them cutting the fence and staging a sit-in inside the Hluhluwe game reserve.

Community member, Smilo Khanyile however believes that more lions are still on the prowl because there is no certainty as to how many lions had escaped. Khanyile explains, “We saw the dead ones they showed us, but the question is how many of these lions are still running freely out there. We say this because within the pride that escaped – we were told that only one had a tracking device and that to us is a problem because there could still be more lions out there.”

Ezemvelo’s spokesperson, Musa Mntambo says the six lions had killed six cows before being euthanized, however Mtambo also warned that the figure may rise as some community members still have to take stock of their cows. “Most of them had been recently living in fear for their lives which made them even scared of venturing to the area they use as pastures for their livestock. The community’s anger was rising as it was feared that the lions had lost fear of human beings. Several community members had alleged that they had come into contact with these lions and instead of lions running away which is their normal behaviour, they walked straight towards them forcing them to retreat.” Mtambo adds.

Why can't they be relocated?

Is this still happening again, what if they can reach people?Guys be serious here🤔. The owner is incapable of owning game, take the licence 🤞

I will also take a decision to put down all those cows 🐄 sneaking in my farm and destroying my crops.

This is getting out of our hands begging of the year it was elephants now lions roaming around our houses. The Hluhluwe game reserve must do something we are tired of protesting 😞😞

Shocking decision.

Can't see the logic.....

What about the people responsible for the maintenance of the fences? Can we send them to go fetch the lions and bring them back? Why must animals always suffer because us humans are useless, lazy parasites? Pathetic!!

Why can't they dart them and return them to another reserve why must everything be killed that is why this world is in the state that it is. What man sow's man will receive!!!!!!!

I hope they will pay for the damage

Poor maintainance caused all this

Why put them down? Why kill them?

That's absolutely disgusting !

And it’s “allegedly”, they were not proven to have been the ones who killed the livestock.

Why put them down mara 💔🥹 this is so painful to read

Why kill them? Just sedate & transfer them to a secure location.

Is it really necessary to put down 6 lions for killing livestock?

Can they donate the animals to me

Let’s kill lions for being lions 🤡🤡🤡
