A hypothetical question here,.......

For any ranger, continously needing to satisfy the real
market of success, luxurios tourism, over a broken back
out in the sticks!!!!,... It stinks,....... in fact this whole

game ranging industry stinks and somwhere down the line
ethical morals are going for lost in this hype of financial
standing,..

True, H.

You will get rotten apples in any industry. But I would like to dream that Kruger is different regarding the men and women on the ground in conservation.

Long given up on most of the top-level SP bunch, and their acclimatisation to wealth... :-( SAPS and SANDF are another animal altogether...

Still say one must distinguish regarding levels of management. Very complicated! ;-)

I suffer with a severe condition called retraction,
a symptom at best described as "the lower parts of
the abdomen retracting supportive skin from the upper
part of said bod" hence, my eyeballs just fell from their
sockets when I read this,...



There is a program underway where the SHRs are working with SANParks to provide this type of support to the rangers. We (VHRs) are discussing the best way we can become involved in this program, also involving the entire online community. As soon as we have the T's crossed and I's dotted, we will contact you to get the ball rolling.

This when Sanparks are sitting on hovels of unspent monies and
donations???? 0*\

I'm sorry but somehow need help in understanding the
double standards of life!!! O-/ :-?

Maybe now I can be thankful for the fact that I was "blind"
to the realities of life!!!,... those days were beautiful!!!!!

DEA make all sorts of demands about NGO's like us registering and throwing donations into the "Central Fund".

Why can't their monthly statements also be put up online as we do? -O-
