Hyena strikes again
It was yet another tiring day for the Guardians, working in the scorching sun fencing bomas. A hyena has attacked in the same area again, killing one sheep. The community was very angry and told us that they wanted to kill the hyena, and that they did not want us to work on their boma to make it stronger. There were also reports that a leopard was in the area, which jumped over a boma fence, and killed a goat too. Here I am with Lenkina, pulling branches to the boma.
After some discussions, the livestock owner allowed us to try again to strengthen the fence where the hyena broke through, and we did our best to make it as solid and strong as we could. Our fingers are crossed as we wait out another long night of uneasiness with the community. This may be the last chance for the hyena now. It sounds like the community will not tolerate any more livestock attacks from it. Mokoi helps by dragging branches to add to the fence.
Well darn Antony, I guess you answered my question here from my post from yesterday. All the hard work you and your team have done to try to re-enforce their boma and the hyena strikes again! I know you are trying SO hard and it has to be very frustrating that the attacks still happen. That has to be one determined leopard to ‘jump’ over the boma fencing to get a meal. I guess that would be considered easy prey? Where are the usual animals, impala’s, etc. for the leopard? I pray the hyena’s fate is not sealed if he continued to kill the goata.

Sorry about the duplicate post.
