Poisoned spears and snares often used in Kenya


Poisoned spears are being used more and more. The poachers also throw spears at all joints of elephant to slow them down. Horrific suffering and damage done. Poachers dont want to shoot as KWS is active and can hear gunshots

These terrible snares were found on the boundary between Sable Valley and the Shimba Hills. The arrow heads are poisoned and the poor elephants walking past gets this stuck to his foot with painful and dreadful consequence.
