A stray lioness and its cub are reportedly posing a threat to both livestock and people living at Batoka Livestock centre and surrounding villages in Choma.
Batoka Golden Valley Research Station Livestock Centre Manager David Mubita confirmed the development to the National Agricultural Information Services (NAIS).
Mr. Mubita told NAIS that his office is making frantic efforts to contact the Zambia Wild Life Authority (ZAWA) to ensure that the beast is hunted down, to protect people’s lives and livestock.
He disclosed that the lioness with its cub, believed to have strayed from Sinazeze area of the valley, was seen entering Batoka Livestock centre after killing a wild pig.
Mr. Mubita told NAIS that communities in Kaila area near Batoka livestock centre confirmed also seeing the stray lioness.
And Mr. Mubita expressed worry that the lioness may not be alone in the area and was suspicious that it might be moving with a male lion.
