Dear Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife - Kenya and Kenyan Wildlife Photography and Kenya Wildlife Service
Dear Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS),
We urgently need your intervention. There is a leopard 🐆 roaming around our village and my mother's goats have repeatedly fallen victim to it. This year alone, she has lost over five goats to these attacks.
We have reported this matter several times to the Mtito Andei office and my mother has even visited the office in person, hoping for help. Unfortunately, nothing has been done. For the past two months, we have repeatedly been told that officers will come and set a trap, but we are still waiting as the losses continue. 3 years ago, it was buffalo eating her whole farm and till now she's never been compensated!!!
These goats are our mother's livelihood as a widow and it is heartbreaking to watch them disappear one by one while our pleas for help go unanswered.
Must we wait until someone is attacked or more livestock is lost before action is taken? Today we've lost another goat and nothing no help forthcame.
KWS, we are pleading for urgent intervention. We understand the importance of protecting our wildlife, but our communities and livelihoods also need protection. Please take this matter seriously and act before something worse happens.
