I rest my case, but I am keeping my big trap shut and my big ears to the ground for the moment.Sprocky wrote:I was told by a person on the ground in SANParks today that the figure for KNP alone this year is 774 or 747. He told me in Afrikaans, now I can't remember which one it was. If this is true, surely the countries number must be heading for 1000???

Re: Rhino Poaching 2013
Does this mean that are only +/-100 Rhino killed so far this year in the rest of SA, compared to the 700 and something in Kruger?? 
Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

A hell of a lot more killed than the "official" figures we have at the moment.

Sprocky , I also heard a figure like that mentioned , but more qualified as being more than 1000 since since January 2012 , which , of course , does make more sense , albeit unacceptable
Enough is enough

Anybody know if a census was done in 2013?
viewtopic.php?f=197&t=489&start=90
A census was promised for this year, like last year!
Would not have been a proper one this year either, I'm afraid...transects flown in a few sectors and statistically extrapolated etc...
