Kenya's Conservation Efforts Suffer Major Setback with Lion Killings.

TL;DR Summary
Six lions have been killed by herders in Kenya's Amboseli National Park after the pride attacked 11 goats and a dog. The killings came a day after a lion believed to be the world's oldest in the wild was speared by herders when it wandered into a livestock pen. Wildlife officials say herders have killed 10 lions in the past week after attacks on livestock and domestic animals. The incidents highlight the ongoing issue of human-wildlife conflict in Kenya, where residents around nature reserves often complain that lions and other carnivores kill livestock and domestic animals as humans and wildlife compete for space and resources.
