My Competition Story : ๐ Milly's Adventure https://www.storiesspace.com/stories/childrens/millys-adventure-2
Quote by AriesDragon
I don't know if you'd call it nice, but it was the kindest thing we could do.
A zebra was caught in a snare on a neighboring ranch. It got free and managed to somehow get through our perimeter electric fence, probably through fear of the hyena, triggering the alarms which sent our people to investigate. They lost the tracks in the thick bush so backtracked to the neighboring ranch where they found the snare; a piece of fencing wire attatched to a log that was buried 4ft in the ground along a wildlife path. All around were the tracks of hyena, jackel and the unfortunate zebra as well as skin and flesh in the snare. Last night one of the camera traps captured the zebra at a water hole so with that information it was tracked and monitored until a vet got here. Once it was darted we were able to see that from the cannon bone the skin was gone leaving just some shredded tendons and the bone. From the fetlock down, the hoof was also gone. Its hind quarters and stomach had tears in the flesh, evidence of hyena bites. It was decided to put him the sleep perminantly. Poor fellow, but a far kinder fate than being ambushed by hyena.
