Three lions killed a donkey

Three lions entered a village last nigh and killed a donkey. The donkey belongs to Lalepo Sipoi. Unfortunately none of the conservation organization compensate for the loss of a donkey.

Ruth, Ethan, Acacia and Reteti are perplexed over the donkey killed by the lion. The lion killed the donkey several yards away and dragged it into the bushes where he can eat without disturbance from the hungry hyenas.
