Kenyan lion shot dead
Print Edition
KENYAN wildlife rangers shot dead a stray male lion in the outskirts of Nairobi after it attacked and injured a local resident, the Kenya Wildlife Service said.
A mob had gathered around the lion, forcing the rangers to shoot it to avert further injuries, a spokesman for the agency said.
The lion was the third in recent weeks to stray from Nairobi National Park on the outskirts of the capital. No injuries were reported in the first case on February 19, but one man was injured in the second, on March 18. The wildlife service managed to capture the stray lions in the first two incidents and returned them to protected areas.
