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 :evil:

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.

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