14 lions on the loose in South Africa
2019-06-08
[Dhaka Tribune] A pride of 14 undocumented lions is on the loose near a mining community bordering South Africa's Kruger National Park, officials said Friday, and warned members of the public to be welcoming alert.

The lions have been spotted roaming around the Foskor phosphate mine outside the town of Phalaborwa on the western boundary of the famed wildlife park, which is fenced in.
Dat's because South Africans is racist.
It is suspected the big cats beat feet from the park to seek a new life, said the government of the northern Limpopo province, which has allocated rangers to monitor the pride while officials decide where to deport send them.

"Employees at Foskor Mine and members of the public are hereby advised to be alert at all times," the provincial department of environment and tourism said in an online statement immediately denounced by the Limpopo Lions' Club.

It said a meeting of government and park officials had concluded that the lions must be captured and released into the Kruger National Park.
"How do you capture a lion?"
"Carefully. Very carefully."

But park front man Ike Phaahla said this was not feasible, as the new arrivals "will continually break out as other dominant lions will be mean to them chase them out."
