SAA CARGO PLACED A TOTAL EMBARGO ON TRANSPORTATION OF HUNTING TROPHIES

SAA CARGO PLACED A TOTAL EMBARGO ON TRANSPORTATION OF HUNTING TROPHIES

South African Cargo has taken a decision to place a total embargo on the transportation of hunting trophies (Rhino, Elephant, Lion and Tiger) on its services worldwide. This embargo is with immediate effect.

Please also know that no exceptions will be made even if the shipper has a valid permit issued by the relevant authorities.

PHASA is attending to this as a matter of urgency and will keep members informed.

I for one am glad to hear that SAA is finally doing something about the transportation of tiger trophies! Damn overdue!

Only an African could have written that ridiculous statement.

Mike,

There are/were some tiger hunts being sold in South Africa. Maybe this was known when the statement was written.

But then again maybe they just forgot to add bears, oh my.

Is this the cargo-shipping division of South African Airways, or a company not associated with the airlines?

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

It might be a good idea to let them know - in mass!
