1
After a few days of incessant attack on the animals, the threat of the wild animals on Umuaturu village was almost eliminated. There were a few injuries on the part of the Umuaturu people resulting from bites and claws of wild animals, but there was no loss of life. Nze Ahunanya and his supporters insisted that the ongoing sacrifice to ‘ala’ ensured that there was no loss of an Umuaturu life through out the crusade against the wild animals. Then there was concern that to continue the crusade might lead to the extinction of certain essential wildlife, which could pose a different problem in the future. Besides, the people of Umuaturu were overwhelmed by the amount of wildlife meat that Dinta and his men brought back to the village after each outing. A fresh meeting was then called to agree on a means of stopping any unnecessary killing of the animals while at the same ensuring that the animals were not given the chance to become a threat again to the people, their cattle, and their trading.
