 Just one day after the minister of Water and Environmental Affairs, Miss Edna Molewa urged South African's to Stop Looting Our National Treasures, comes the news of yet another Rhino slaughtered in the Limpopo Province. A female Rhino and her calf were killed on Tuesday with R4 Rifles on a game farm between Roedtan and Zebediela in the Limpopo. Last week two Rhino's were found slaughtered on a private game farm near Mokopane in the Limpopo. The Rhino casualties for 2011 are over 280 according to recent reports. It's evident that the syndicates involved have no respect for our natural heritage and until the kingpin's are identified and locked up it appears this will continue. Last week the Rhino named Absa from Aquila Game Reserve near Touws River, died in the early hours of Thursday. He was half hacked to death on Saturday the 20th August and eventually lost the fight. Aquila Game Reserve is offering a R100 000.00 reward for information leading to an arrest and prosecution of these poachers. You can contact them here - confidentiality guaranteed. If this scourge is not stopped all we will be showing our children one day is photo's of these magnificent creatures. |
