Re: Rhino Poaching
Oh here we go again,........ slow again,...
Slow beginnings, fast endings!!!!
Always just seems that those culprits are one -up!!
Besides any single rhino at cost, this whole matter
has become tongue in cheek stuff!!
With all "know how, army, police, hawks, Dea,
rangers, honerary rangers, corporates and generals
and whatnot??? My word what a entry into 2013!!!
Let's not be surprised when the UN marches in this
year!!!
What a pathetic situation!!!!

Re: Rhino Poaching
Media Release: Three white rhinos poached in the Kruger National Park
Date: 8th January 2013
South African National Parks (SANParks) today announced that three rhinos had been lost since the beginning of the year. The animals were lost in two separate incidents. A hunting rifle and two sets of horns were recovered.
In the first incident, two white rhino were shot and killed on the Houtboschrand section of the Kruger National Park (KNP). According to Abe Sibiya, Managing Executive at KNP, “indications are that the two animals were shot on the 1st of January by a poaching group from Mozambique, their horns were removed and the group escaped”.
In the second incident, rangers deployed in the Lower Sabie area, made contact with a group of three poachers. Shots were exchanged and the three managed to escape but left behind a high calibre hunting rifle and a bag containing a set of rhino horns. In a follow up operation, the carcass of a white rhino, with horns missing was discovered. “This is not an ideal way to start the year but the initiatives that we have put in place, especially the aerial surveillance one is teaching us a lot and we are making a lot of progress” said Sibiya.
