Snares in Kruger

[Richprins]

It is ironic that the snarers are shot dead quite often, as they move through the rhino battleground. So they get a quick death?

[Lisbeth]

Maybe a death sentence is a bit exaggerated for snaring, but there ought to be at least a BIG fine, which they cannot pay but then they go to jail

Is snaring at all punishable?

[Guillaume]

The 'Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962' covers snaring as well.

This is Satara area, far more unusual for snaring...maybe from Moz?

Great News
The elephant with a snare reported early this morning on the S100 has been located, darted, treated and released again and should make a good recovery.
All our thanks to Enough is Enough, the rangers, vets and Elize from Bushbaby Adventures for all the hard work today.

Great work everyone
