What's on the Menu?

Recently, a volunteer team was camping in the Simanjiro district at a local milk processing factory outside the small town of Nabarera.

The camp was set up behind the factory.  There are 2 guards and 2 dogs who provide security.

Each night, we heard various animals "vocalizing" their discontent, wants, and generally broadcasting their messages abroad.

Late one evening, we heard loud barking, snarling, yelping, yelling, and sounds of pursuit.
We waited until morning to get the full story.

It seems that during the night, a hyena came into the camp, engaged the 2 guard dogs and the 2 guards.
When the dust settled and the noise ceased, the camp was short one dog.
The hyena fought with the 2 dogs, killed one, dragged it away and then finished off his "meal" in peace and quiet.

Many places have dogs available as security.

Our dogs are on the menu.
