You will soon see that the big corporates are just about get involved in a huge concerted initiative to support RAGE with big bucks. Keep an ear to 702 and watch the Sandton skyline.

 

Targeting poachers will not help. Go after the source by paying for information and infiltrating syndicates.

Guys please join me in asking people to stop killing our Rhinos

 

http://www.facebook....447829941910327

 

No donations - no nothing - like and share and by mass we can create awareness

 

Do these things nowadays always have to be done on a social media sites.Can petitions not be drawn up on paper, prob get more response nowadays to a good old letter sent through the post right to the persons desk. Not the norm nowadays but prob still has more effect.Yes i dont belong to disgracebook or sh1tter ,so cant vote or like...

Saw on the news 2 more rhinos died yesterday , like 260 this year or something.

These days and times and we still cant stop extinction , Dodo, Tasmanian Wolf, Quagga, Caspian Tiger, Stellers Sea Cow and Pallas Cormorant to name a few.

If we able to stop people shooting malema why cant we save the rhino.?

Maybe like a 4666 madiba initiative for the rhinos maybe people listen.

IDk this ^%$%# pisses me off...

All these small start up iniatives going off on different tangents don't help the cause. That's why Rage is doing what I posted above.

You have a couple of issues here, 99% of these initiatives send money to the guvment owned conservation sites, (not like the guvment doesnt already have enough money) where the funds are not being utlized as in many cases parksboard officials have been linked to or are already suspected of being linked to poaching syndicates.

 

So all thats happening is we are giving the ringleaders of the poaching rings even more money to squander on the latest luxury SUV's.

 

Poaching could be stopped by simply deploying 4 or 5 specialist army units to go play hunt the poacher, the bats and the reccie's could sort this out in a week, at no charge to the tax payer since they are already being paid to sit around and do nothing these days.

 

I'm pretty sure if you ask these boys if they would like some hunting practice they would jump at the opportunity.

From what I heard from some guys in Nelspruit is that the Kruger Park is fighting a full scale war with poachers at the moment and plenty of poachers are becoming extinct themselves.There are a lot of previous SADF forces used in these areas. Do you think every poacher that gets " killed by lions" in the Kruger is being mentioned in the media?

I actually know some guys who are currently building warefare type buggy's to combat poachers in these remote places. They are even planning to use infrared technology to see the guys at night.

Sure Rhino's are getting poached and I hate it- BUT---- Don't think nothing is being done about it. There are still plenty of guys out there who are fighting for our beautiful heritage !

Key being PREVIOUS as the chaps mentioned in my earlier posts. And these guys are basically confined to private funding and working on private land. The uselless guvment once again arent doing anything and they have all the resources at their disposal to kill this off quick.

 

And the key here is wounding these poachers and then gathering intellegence out of them. Not offing one or two of the hundreds and then throwing it at the media to act like they are actually doing something about it.

When you are being fired upon by automatic rifles wounding the other guy is not an option !

If your a pro outfit and you get shot at by a bunch of poachers in plakkies, you aint doing your job. And you should go back to basic training. Any decent outfit could wound at least 2 chaps and take out the rest without getting involved in a firefight.
