Popular actor Will Smith recently filmed a documentary on conservation in Africa. It has come to light that a lioness was killed while being tranquilized via The Sun.
The actor was working with Claws Conservancy when the big cat was shot with a dart to fit a tracking collar. It has been noted that Botswana’s Department of Wildlife and National Parks has brought in an independent vet to investigate how it came to die.
Will is yet to publicly comment on the incident which happened back in June.
It was one of his first projects since his ten-year ban from the Oscars for slapping comic Chris Rock for mocking his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Big game conservationists, however, rounded on the star.
One tweeted: “Once again wildlife suffers for human greed & entertainment.”
Meanwhile, Smith recently looked back at his early days of fame, and making his fans nostalgic. It has been over three decades that the actor premiered his hit sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which made him a household name in Hollywood after first getting his start in the entertainment business as a singer.
The show originally aired on NBC starting on September 10, 1990, and ran for six seasons and 148 episodes until May 20, 1996.
Will took to Instagram on the special anniversary to commemorate the milestone, sharing a nostalgia-inducing photo of what appears to to be him in present day or recently, posing in front of the iconic Bel-Air home his character, also named Will Smith and partly-inspired by him, moved into with his wealthy Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian.
