Sadly, the hyena has been put out of its misery. Well done to Park officials for speedy responses

When does SANParks decide to do something about the snares? At least a press release condemning it and stressing that it is against the law and punishable???? They are always talking a lot about the support they are giving to the communities etc. etc. now it is time to make the communities understand that the Kruger is not their private hunting field

Then the Communities will make Kruger ungovernable ..Block entrances and burn and poach etc etc

I don't think so, you know. In our stakeholder meetings the Community reps had great appreciation for Kruger and its economic importance, as well as conservation. It is difficult to generalise, and what is wrong is wrong. There are some political malcontents, but they are a tiny minority and always have vested interests.

Thank you to our Vets, and Rangers - a snare removed from a hyena on S25 today.

Way too many snares if you ask me

It is unusual as the Croc River is quite high...

Maybe snares put up before the rains

Why would a river in temporary fullness hold a Snare setter at bay
