Hyenas Attack

Report by
Mdm Aggy

It has been sleepless nights at mwakoma village becouse of hyenas attacking domestic animals at night.This has happened in many homesteads including madam Agys home. to our suprise no meat is left but only skin peaces .
This problem has made the owners to sleep outside their houses so that when the animals make noise they are ready to rescue their animals,also it has become a challenge to some people to sleep outside becouse this is a cold season.Kenya wildlife service has not yet taken any action so far.
