Indeed Nan, Sanparks withhold all rights too donation,...

In other words, donators delivered without any cause for
questioning, all in good faith!!!

I seem to believe that Sanparks have done themselves great
injustice here!!! The botany and herbivore situation around
waterholes is indeed a huge problem!!!!

Yet somehow, the abrupt approach by the Curator with regard,
leaves a lot of room for thought,......

There remains one superseding thought for concern,...........ll...
that be,... the remainder of wild kingdom do not have free travel
permits and are subject too human decision,....a sad fact!!!!!

A sad fact that humans feel they have the right to think and decide
on behalf,.....

Well, the 12 year-odd wet cycle seems to have a hiccup this year...

Spoke to an esteemed Doctor, who warned that it's not just about water than grazing, per se, regarding droughts.

Should there be early rains this year, grazing will recover. If not, then there is trouble.

He also warned the grazing will then affect animals early next year, especially buffalo. The prolongued deaths of buffalo herds is a traumatic affair indeed, last seen around 1997.
