Three lions have been speared to death by Masai tribesmen in a dispute over grazing rights on the edge of the world-famous Amboseli game reserve in Kenya in a further blow to a tourist industry reeling from weeks of bloody post-election chaos.
The incident has once again thrown the spotlight on to the uneasy relationship between impoverished local people and wildlife that is considered an essential magnet for attracting wealthy Western tourists to Africa.
The deaths of the animals, which once roamed the East African plains at will, take the total number of lions killed in the reserve lying at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in the past eight months to ten.

Hi Catherine,
How do you plan to help the lions?
i am currently working on shamwari reserve and find that disgusting!
hey,
my name is Saige and I am 13 years old girl, and i think all lions have evey right to to put ttheir paws down anywhere the want, just like us we have the rigt to go anywhere.
but why cant they have the same right as us?
i beleive that were equlls not just only lions but to all those poor animals that dont have the right, i mean we are on their property and people are killing them its a shame. Its like all people turning against each other. these beauitful creatures need he same thing people do , but they put it in their own way.
The world is going down in a hand bag, its time for change
change can be good or bad i just hope it goes well.

Hello Saige,
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I’ve been really busy with school and work.
I’m erasing your comment that has your phone numbers, because I want to protect your privacy. It’s not very safe to post your phone numbers on a public website.
I think your idea for helping the lions is really great. What kind of information do you want from me? How can I help you?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
