Agonising death of the King of the Jungle: Young lion doomed to starve after poacher's snare got caught so tightly round his neck he couldn't eat

It is a heartrending sight.
Wire snare caught so tightly around his neck he cannot eat, this young male lion is doomed to die a slow and agonising death.
Within a matter of days he will be lying in the African bush gasping his last breath.Nor is he alone in his grim fate. The sight is increasingly common in parts of the continent when a growing number of lions have fallen victim to poaching.
Some wander by mistake into snares that are meant for other animals such as antelope which are hunted by poachers for bushmeat.
