2 traffickers arrested with a leopard skin
Senegal, 12 Nov 2022
2 traffickers arrested with a leopard skin. On their phones were horrible images of massacred lions and elephants as well as human rights atrocities, dead human bodies, and huge stocks of automatic weapons. The traffickers, one of whom is a Niger national, smuggled the skin from Mali. Examining the skin, we believe the poacher they activated shot the leopard a few times at the spine, crippling it and only after a lot of misery, shot it to death in short range.
