Stop the Killing and Mutilation of Lions in Tanzania

According to a January 2011 report by Wildlife Direct, "Two lions have been found dead and their bodies mutilated after being deliberately poisoned in Tanzania. First, a female lion was targetted after it had killed a cow, and once the lion was dead, its skin, teeth and claws were removed - all items that would fetch a lot of money on the black market."

According to Lion Guardians, "The lack of enforcement by the Tanzanian wildlife authorities with regards to the illegal hunting and killing of different wildlife species leaves a lot to be desired."

The signers of this petition urge the Tanzanian Wildlife Authority to increase the wildlife enforcement for lion protection at the border where Tanzania meets Amboseli National Park in Kenya, from where this lion was thought to originate.
