Sierra Leonean Hunter Captures And Kills Fully Grown Leopard in Falaba

A fully grown leopard has been killed by a hunter in Kulor Saradu Chiefdom, Falaba District.

This comes after similar occurrences in the Koinadugo District in 2019 and 2022, highlighting a growing concern for the declining leopard population in Sierra Leone.

The killing of these protected animals not only poses a threat to human life but also has severe implications for the country’s tourism industry. In 2022, the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, and Tourism emphasized the criminal nature of such acts and called for alternative methods of handling these animals, such as tranquilization or government capture.

Well if government trained forest rangers in all districts and Provences such a nonsense will not be happening. Other countries protecting their wild lifes to increase Sierra Leoneans decreasing their own all the time. There must be forest rangers to control and tranquilized those animals to put in order not to harm the people and people not feel the threat from the animals as well. For all life matters on earth Before the ministry of tourism starts to talk, which measures had a taken to solve or protecting such a beautiful and dangerous animals? Because it not the first time this is happening in Sierra Leone let be fact here. Sierra Leoneans and their animals lives doesn't seems matter to all past and present leaders, it's all about themselves. May God continue to see us through as a creator of this universe 🙏🏾✌🏽🫶🏾🇸🇱✅
