Mohawk the lion, one of Kenya’s most famous big cats, was fatally shot Wednesday by wildlife rangers. He had escaped from Nairobi National Park two days ago, forced out in a territorial dispute with another lion. It turns out that a group of men had surrounded the lion in the town of Isinya, They took pictures. They threw rocks at him. Finally, Mohawk raised his paw and thrashed one of the men.
The animal management team that first arrived had no tranquilizers, only rifles. A second, with tranquilizers, was on its way, but the first team killed the animal before arriving because he posed an immediate threat to human life.
In a country that has invested millions in protecting its wildlife, this is a huge Blow to wildlife conservation and Kenyans as a whole.
What's your take on this???
