Animals kill 133 people in Moz
18/03/2008 20:45 - (SA)



Maputo - Wild animals killed at least 133 people and seriously injured 50 in Mozambique last year, the agriculture ministry said on Tuesday.

"This is a very high figure, but lower than the 144 of 2006," departmental official Tomas Zimba told AFP confirming that the figures were in a ministry report.

Zimba said crocodiles, elephants, lions and cheetahs had killed most people.

"Most of the attacks, about 60%, happened in the provinces of Tete, Zambezia (centre) and Cabo Delgado (north)," he said.

In October, the Mozambican government authorised the army to intervene to save the life of any person threatened by a wild animal.

And a campaign has been launched to collect crocodile eggs laid in the Zambezi River basin in a bid to control numbers. The eggs are given to South African breeders who export young crocodiles or sell their skins.

"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."

Nothing's as scary as a cheetah charge in the thick stuff of Mozambique! They may be slow, but they sure are ferocious!!!!!!!!!!

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.
-Seth Peterson
