Reports
were got yesterday about the 6 lions that were killed outside Nairobi National
Park and this incident has sparked off serious human wildlife conflict to the
forefront again and also revived the conflict between the conservation group in
Kenya and the Kenya Wildlife Service which is blamed for the incident as
they have done nothing to protect these animals from being killed by the
illegal hunters. They things seem, it’s like KWS seems is not will and
frightened to utilize the law to capture the law offender and then bring them
to justice.
They
always to pretend to be the masters in smaller cases like when they are taking
the cheetahs from the Mara to Nairobi something that does not require a lot of
funds but when asked to sort out a serious matter, they always chicken out.
They have always known that these lions were out there on free range system and
have always been asked d to get them back into the park but then paid a deaf
ear and right now, it is so unfortunate that they are reacting so fast to
picking up the carcasses. According to this source, apparently there are
also other elephants that have been killed by the poachers in Mt. Kenya
as well and yet they could have been protected from them as there are
allegations that KWS was told about these elephants early enough by the
local people but they did not react. He said that he thinks that there is
some luck of responsibility among the leaders of KWS.
The
source confirmed that he had to be arrested by Dr. Julius Kipngetic for
challenging him in public as after getting to write an angry conservation from
Nairobi with the help of a source that I would prefer not to mention to protect
him from going through a similar problem that the CEO of Eco-Tourism Kenya
suffered some weeks ago. There were four carcasses of the poached
elephants without tusks found not so long ago near the Ndumanu / Mathira East
location by local people which has is a great loss as it has led to a
great decrease on the elephant population. It is shocking that KWS was not able
to protect these animals when just a few weeks ago they bragged a bout having
established a task force which would be able to deal with such incidents but
what have they done? When will they start working?
