Villagers lose livestock to stray lions
Chronicle Reporter
A pride of six lions is on the loose in Hwange district and has killed seven head of cattle and three donkeys belonging to Chief Shana.
In an interview on Monday, Chief Shana said the problem of lions started in December last year and that the livestock was killed in the last few weeks.
The chief said initially there were seven lions but one has since been put down by rangers from the Parks and Wildlife Management Authority.
“We are now appealing to the Government to allow the police to be allowed to shoot and kill these problem animals.
“Game rangers do come but they stay far away from where the animals cause havoc.
“After shooting and killing one of the lions, they went away but the remaining ones are terrorising communities and killing their livestock,” said Chief Shana, who is also a Senator.
