Hello
Briewe van Ludwig, onlangs publiseer het betrekking.
Dit wat Ludwig beskryf vul alle denkende persone met gevoel met afgryse oor die monsteragtigheid van die dade gepleeg teenoor die renosters.
Dit word aanvaar dat die leser of die aanhoorder hoef nie oortuig te word dat hierdie stroping en uitwissing van die renosters ’n euwel is nie. Soos Ludwig dit beskryf het, “die werklikheid van renosterstropery is veel meer grusaam, onnodig en hartseer as wat enige foto akkuraat kan uitbeeld”.
Die tragedie is soveel groter aangesien die horing nie veel meer bied as wat ’n toonnael of ’n vingernael van die mens is of kan bied. Die tragedie is dan juis dat die Sjinese net so goed sou vaar deur hulle eie naels te kou.
In die lig daarvan is die volgende program wat Vrydag, 18 November 2011, vrygestel is ’n tydige program en kan belangstellendes daarna luister. Die program is van CBC se vlagskip program, The Current. In die program word die volgende opsie ook bespreek:
Now South Africa has commissioned a study into whether legalising trade in rhino horn could in fact help to bring down poaching, the Department of Environmental Affairs announced recently. We are impartial at this stage but we are looking at all the suggestions which could help us in the fight against poachers, the department's spokesperson, Albie Modise, told the BBC. We are awaiting submissions and would consider this if we get authentic scientific backing that this would be effective, said Albie Modise.
Die program kan hier gevind word.
Already this year, 369 rhinos have been poached in South Africa. That's about thirty more than were killed in 2010 – and that was a record year for poaching. The country is increasing security... launching education campaigns and is now even considering the idea of legalizing the trade in rhino horns.
Joseph Okori is the Head of the African Rhino program with the World Wildlife Fund. He works in South Africa, but was in Washington DC this morning.
John Hume is a rhino farmer in South Africa. He's thought to own the largest herd of rhinos in private hands in the world. We reached him at home at his Mauricedale Game Ranch which is just south of Kruger National Park in the Northeast part of the country.
And Candace Scott is one of those people. She's a PHD student and part of the Queens University Molecular Ecology Lab. She's spent a lot of time in the parks and reserves of South Africa. She was in Kingston.
Baie dankie
Wouter
