Not 3 BUT 5 Greveys have been shot…
Category: Samburu, Turkana | Date: Sep 26 2008 | By: milgistrust
Our manager came back with this very bad news today… What we can gather is these Greveys usually live in this area which was ‘no mans land’ after the fighting in June, July, where the Samburu [ who do not eat Zebra] have gone back to lately, with their cattle as this an area that has had a bit of rain, but on the day that they went to water their stock they say the Turkana came in and obviously found this group of 5 Grevey Zebras, and shot at them wildly… One was killed and cooked on the spot, 4 died of their wounds on their way to the Suiyan Lugga.. Two have been eaten by hyena, and two were almost untouched… When they turned them over they found bullet wounds..[ The scout that originally found the dead animals is the man who was shot in the hand on that last raid..15th July, his hand has not recovered yet]…
On the 8th of October we will be having a meeting with the leaders of this area, with K.W.S. and the grevey Zebra trust to try and stop this terrible slaughter… This is truly very sad..

I Helen Douglas-Dufresne, have been doing walking camel safaris for the last 20 years in the Mathews-Ndoto region having witnessed the destruction of the Milgis ecosystem by the local communities who were unaware of its implications, either we did something or not- so the Milgis trust was born!
