Title:
More lions found dead in a suspected poisoning case
Publication Year:

Abstract:

Just two weeks after four lions were discovered dead near Lesoma Village in Chobe, two more adult males were found yesterday in a fresh poisoning incident. The reason behind what appears to be the targeted eradication of the pride is still unclear, but there are growing suspicions that the lions may have been poisoned by farmers as a result of escalating human-wildlife conflict.
