ZimParks launches investigation after three lions are beheaded

23rd October 2024

By Staff Reporter

The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) is investigating a case of poaching after three lions were found beheaded in Hwange National Park.

ZimParks spokesperson Tinashe Farawo said the lions had their feet and heads chopped off.

“We are investigating a suspected case of lions poaching in Hwange, the suspects used a heavy calibre rifle before they chopped the heads and feet of the lions,” he said.

Zimbabwe has been fighting poaching for years and according to ZimParks the situation has improved.


The Authority has an antipoaching budget of US$5 million which has seen it winning especially in the Hwange- Matetsi block.

However, some reports say the country has lost close to US$8 million since 2019 as over 420 Big Five animals have been killed by poachers from 2019.

ZimParks latest statistics say 422 elephants, rhinoceros, lions and buffalos valued at approximately US$7 786 000 have been killed over the last five years.

Where are all the tree huggers and bunny friends screaming for justice like when Cecil was killed? Nowhere to be seen as the press and social media is not going to blow this out of proportion and hype it!

Shame as its criminal and likely for export or local order!

Sad.

For local consumption of course as the indigenous people scattered across sub-Saharan Africa are strong believers in witchcraft which comes in many forms.
