The photo shows that the metal wire of the trap is deeply embedded in the lion's torso, its condition is extremely dangerous. Fortunately, the female lion was finally rescued by Ugandan Wildlife Fund rescue personnel. Currently, staff are trying to carefully remove the metal wire embedded in its torso.

In addition, some photos show that giraffes and elephants in Murchison Falls National Park were also trapped by poachers setting traps while searching for food. Their legs were severely cut by metal wires.

'Send Cows' and 'Long Teeth' organizations are integrating resources to 'With Wildlife Together' fundraising project to help eliminate poverty in Uganda, as this is the main cause of poaching in the region. The fundraising activity aims to raise enough funds to help 7000-plus local families learn sustainable livelihoods. The British government will provide an additional doubling of funding before April 14, 2020.
