Summary: Poachers are suspected of having killed a lion cub on the outskirts of Gir Wildlife Sanctuary, found March 2nd. The cub was only 5 months old, and was found mutilated with its bones removed. The carcass was in such a bad condition that the time of death could not be determined. Forensics said that the reason the most likely cause of death was poachers is that the lion was completely missing its legs.
Analysis: I hope that if the cause is poachers that they are caught soon. It sucks that the lion was killed so young just for money. I guess even if something endangering to animals is made illegal, people who are desperate for money will do anything. I hope something can be done to prevent the killing of animals in India.

When some are in poverty, they throw logic, law, and even morals out the window. It's a shame that these poachers did what they did (if they were poachers.)
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely terrible. If poachers really did do this to a poor lion cub, Then I hope they are caught and punished properly very soon. Such behavior as this is just totally unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteThis is awful i can't believe they mutilated like that. I can't imagine someone being able to do something like that.
