An endangered lioness was shot dead in South Korea, an hour after escaping a private farm, according to local officials.
The lioness escaped its cage Monday morning in Goryeong county, in North Gyeongsang Province, about 300 kilometers south of the capital Seoul, according to a county official. It’s a mountainous area with just over 30,000 residents. The escape prompted a search operation involving 127 police officers and 26 fire department personnel, according to the regional fire service. Authorities issued an alert urging residents to stay away from nearby Bukdu mountain.
The private farm also owns cows, but has no other lion or lionesses, said the county official. The lioness had been registered with the Daegu Regional Environmental Office as an international endangered species, an official from the agency confirmed to CNN. Any transfer and death of a registered animal needs to be reported to the office, which also conducts inspections of their living facilities, the official added. It is unclear when the last inspection of this lioness was conducted.
