Yeah I must. I asked the 3.5 y/o if he wanted to go hunting with me. He said yes. My wife was not happy. Think I will have to wait till he is older. But he now goes round telling his grandparents hes going hunting.

F#@k trophy hunters!

 

In yet another blow to big elephant genes, the iconic desert-adapted elephant bull known by millions of fans worldwide as ‘Voortrekker’ was killed by a trophy hunter after being declared a ‘problem-animal’ by Namibian authorities.

The government is now legally obliged to consider animal welfare in all its wildlife conservation decisions. This is the message from the judgment handed down on 6 August by the Gauteng High Court which determined that South Africa’s 2017 and 2018 lion export skeleton quotas were unlawful and constitutionally invalid, although the exports under those quotas have already been made.

The judgment strongly rejects the view that “adaptive management” of wild animals can arbitrarily be divorced from ethics. Kollapen referenced the 2016 judgment in the NSPCA case against the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, which stated that “the rationale behind protecting animal welfare has shifted from merely safeguarding the moral status of humans to placing intrinsic value on animals as individuals”.

Judge Kollapen has gifted South Africa with legal clarity regarding the unlawfulness of the establishment of the 2017 and 2018 quotas. He has also reminded us that the captive lion industry is abhorrent and repulsive, so it remains to be seen how the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries will take this into account in determining future quotas.

Quite the opposite. It had a great run this past week or so. Thanks for asking!

 

However, you seem triggered by me posting something which has sweet blue fokol to do with veganism. Why is that?

Pity the good judge did not recommend death by hungry lion for these heroes and people profiting from the trade.
