Extract from AllAfrica.com

A stray leopard has killed about 30 sheep and goats in Nyamathi village in Naivasha. The rogue leopard has raided over five homesteads leaving a trail of destruction. Villagers told of their fear as the animal has created an artificial curfew in the area.

Mary Wangui, a resident said, "We heard commotion at around midnight and on checking we found some of the livestock dead and others bleeding." She has called on the Kenya Wildlife Services to compensate her.

Joseph Mwangi, another villager, said they will track down the leopard and kill it if KWS fail to take action."Our biggest fear is that the leopard could end up killing children going to school early in the morning," he said.

I hope a solution is found before loss of human or animal life!

I hope the leopard can be relocated before it kills anymore livestock and worse still any humans.

Hopefully they might be able to dart the said leopard and relocate him away from villages - it's been done before and seems a sensible way to deal with this leopard that results in no loss of human or animal life
