Uganda Wildlife Authority has learnt with dismay the merciless killing of an adult lioness by a section of Kazinga village residents neighboring Queen Elizabeth National Park in south western Uganda on Thursday.
While we sympathize with the community over the loss of their goats killed by the straying lioness, the act of spearing the lion to death was uncalled for, since there are known established channels of addressing the problem like alerting the national park authorities to drive the lioness back to the park.
A scenic crater lakes drive, an array of fauna and countless species of birds were a source of a memorable experience for Ms Rukiya Lwanyaga and her partner Joseph Kikomeko who recently won a fully paid trip to Queen Elizabeth National Park in Western Uganda.
