Namibia to prosecute people posting trophy hunting photos on social media

Xinhua, August 10, 2017



WINDHOEK, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- Namibia will start prosecuting people who kill wildlife and post pictures on social media, Environment and Tourism Minister Pohamba Shifeta said Wednesday.

He said that people who kill wildlife, whether with a permit or not, and post photos on social media and boast will face the wrath of the law once the Protection Areas and Wildlife Management Bill passes into law..

This comes after a video went viral in the country where a group of people shot a Kudu and started throwing stones at it to kill it.

Shifeta said that animal cruelty is a crime, thus people who are found abusing animals will be in trouble.

Previously in other countries, wildlife trophy shipments were banned after the killing of Cecil the lion in July 2015.

Airlines across the world banned the shipping of lions, leopard, elephant and rhinoceros as well as cape buffalo trophies. Enditem

Sounds about right for politicians.

Instead of prosecuting the criminals who commit the crimes, they criminalize everyone!?

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

If he did say that it's probably already been retracted. 1, They can't. 2, Someone with a brain will realise what that would do to their hunting industry. 3, It's Chinese media so what do you expect?

I thought the video showed a gemsbok not a kudu.

Environment warns against wildlife cruelty
News - National | 2017-08-11Page no: 6


THE Ministry of Environment and Tourism is offering a reward for anyone with information on a video circulating on social media of men stoning an oryx to death.
The ministry's permanent secretary Malan Lindeque told the media on Wednesday that further details on the reward for anyone with information on the culprits will be released at a later stage.

The gruesome video shows the unknown men, who speak Afrikaans, stoning the animal before grabbing it by the horns and cutting its throat. A voice is heard in the background asking for “another long knife from the car”.

It is not known where and when the incident occurred, but investigations are underway.

Environment minister Pohamba Shifeta at the same media briefing warned people who make themselves guilty of cruelty towards animals.

Environment minister Pohamba Shifeta at the same media briefing warned people who make themselves guilty of cruelty towards animals.

“The ministry totally discourages such behaviour, and any person caught brutalising wildlife will be prosecuted,” he said. He also warned against posing for photos with dead wildlife, and posting such pictures on social media. “No one, with or without a permit, is allowed to make such pictures public as the law will definitely take action against them.

If pictures of this nature are taken, they should be kept private,” he stated. Both Shifeta and Lindeque urged Namibians to report any form of cruelty towards wildlife.
