Three elephants have been killed in Sagala area, Taita Taveta, the Kenya Wildlife Service has revealed.
“All the deceased jumbos had their tusks intact, implying the deaths were not as a result of attempted poaching,” KWS said in a statement to the press on Friday, January 29.
KWS said that Sagala is a hotspot for human-wildlife conflict and rangers suspect the elephants may have been poisoned after encroaching on farm settlements.
