Poachers now turn to spearing to avoid detection, warns KWS boss

Elgeyo Marakwet, Kenya: Poachers are now using traditional methods such as spearing as opposed to shooting to avoid detection by security agents, Kenya Wildlife Service Director William Kiprono has revealed.

“As KWS, we have noted some emerging worrying trends where poachers invent new methods of silently killing the animals to avoid raising suspicion among security agencies,” he said.
