Stray lion continues to cause havoc in Hurungwe West

One of two stray lions that killed 11 cattle and two donkeys in the past three weeks has continued to cause havoc in the area despite the shooting down of its partner by the Hurungwe Rural District Council (HRDC) and the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Authority 2 weeks ago.

The lion which in the past week killed a donkey and has been seen or heard roaring during the night in parts of Deve Point 4 (Ward 24), is now believed to have moved into Ward 17, Mashuma area where it reportedly killed and ate a bull belonging to Mr Claudius Mtetwa from Mutinha Village under chief Nyamhunga. He said that they have informed HRDC and they will dispatch four rangers to kill the lion.
