It is hard to report, but we can confirm that magnificent male Lion Netsai, approximate age of 10 years, had been hunted and killed on Forestry Land in Zimbabwe.. (Ngamo-Sikumi Forest.)

Netsai was killed on the Ngamo side. He leaves his brother Humba...

Humba is being seen completely alone and wandering, stressed without his brother 💔


Magnificent Netsai was a much loved Black Maned lion who led Cecils Pride with his brother Humba from 2018 to 2021, the Pride consisted of about +-25-members including Cecil’s mates, daughters and grandcubs. Netsai and Humba were ousted from their territory during 2022 by the fearsome lions known as "The Baggage Handlers".

Since around November 2022 Humba and Netsai where moving in and out of Hwange protected areas. Richard Cooke is the Professional Hunter who organized the Killing of Cecils son Xanda in July 2017 and holds the hunting rights for this area... These magnificent Lions along with all the others should be revered as National Treasures and allowed to live out their lives...

Rest In Peace Netsai.. 💔


We will never forget you and all the fallen kings who died, Chased, lured and murdered for "kicks" by Colonialist Hunters in the name of CONservation.
