Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A reward of US$1,000 has been offered for anyone who provides credible information leading to the arrest of poachers involved in the killing and dismemberment of a lioness in Victoria Falls.<\/p>\n

According to the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks), a team from the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust was monitoring a collared lion when they came across a distressing scene. The remains of the lioness were found, with its flesh removed and its claws and head missing.<\/p>\n

Another lion, an adult male, was discovered alive but trapped in a snare. The lion was successfully rescued and treated by veterinary doctors.<\/p>\n

ZimParks, working with IMPI Zambezi Horse Safaris Antipoaching, Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust, and the Victoria Falls Anti-Poaching Unit (VFAPU), has appealed to anyone with credible information to assist in apprehending the poachers. Those with details can reach out via +263 774 008520 or +263 717 225436. Part of the statement reads:<\/p>\n

On the morning of March 5th, a routine patrol led to the discovery of an adult male lion caught in a freshly set wire snare near the golf course.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, he was found alive and was quickly attended to by National Parks and the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust. He was successfully darted, the snare removed and is expected to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n

Tragically, at the same scene, the remains of a lioness were found, believed to be one of the Hippo Creek females.<\/p>\n

Evidence suggests she was killed by a snare, but her body had been dismembered, with her legs, head, and large portions of meat removed.<\/p>\n

In light of this, we are offering a $1000 reward for credible information that leads to the arrest of these criminals.<\/p>\n
