Kenya Wildlife Service rangers Wednesday shot dead a lion in Isinya, sparking anger among Kenyans and conservationists.
The big cat was spotted on the Nairobi–Namanga road early in the morning, prompting KWS to send two teams from Isinya and Nairobi.
But by the time the teams arrived in Isinya, residents were chasing the animal with spears, bows and arrows.
As the crowd grew, the lion clawed a man who was on a motorcycle.
KWS personnel and police officers from Kajiado and Kitengela fired several times in the air. Witnesses said that might have agitated the animal.
In a video acquired by the Nation, the lion is seen running away, roaring as shouts and gunfire rent the air.
