Wounded leopard Kavimba

Wounded leopard Kavimba

Trip to CH1 (250km round trip over bad roads) to relocate leopard. Report came in that there was a leopard in one of the tents. Mr Gadimang and crew drove out there. There was a leopard in tent but was not active. I darted it with Zoletil and dragged it out of tent. It had been shot by camp staff as it was going in to the food tent. They did not go in and finish it off so leopard suffered for 2 days. I’m happy camp staff could not get to their food for that time. They should have told the truth of what happened before we responded
