In the Gluckstadt area near Vryheid, northern KwaZulu-Natal, professional hunters have culled one of three lions responsible for recent livestock attacks. The operation was initiated after reports emerged of lions preying on cattle in the region. The remaining two lions are still at large, and efforts to locate them are ongoing.
The local community has been on high alert due to the threat posed by these lions. Authorities have urged residents to exercise caution and report any lion sightings to the relevant wildlife management teams.
