Published: 2016 February 04 06:07:44 (5523 Views)
A LIONESS and 41 endangered white backed vultures were found dead, believed poisoned at an animal sanctuary in Beitbridge district.
The endangered vultures are feared to have feasted on the carcass of a lioness that was allegedly poisoned with strychnine at Sentinel Limpopo Eco Safaris in the border district.
The owner of the safari ranch, Digby Bristow, said they suspected that a disgruntled cattle farmer from the neighbouring Maramani village was behind the poisoning.
He said the incident occurred last week and was reported to both the police and the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Authority (ZimParks) and no arrests had been made so far.
