GanyanaRe: Hunt report-OUT OF AFRICA EXONERATED
Interesting that the man who wrote the report was the man who was ordered to deliver the banning order to Out of Africa and failed to do so...
Also, our rank structures have been redone- Senior warden is equivalent to a leutenant.
And yes, hunting on occupied farms is a criminal offence under both Zimbabwe and US law (see lacy act). Ownership has not changed and the person is effectively hunting stolen property.
Also, Only one out of seven Matesi units has any componant of white ownership and the "established" black safari operators don't see the need to deal under the carpet.
Also, doesn't clear up the bribery charges and the hunting irregularities that have cost many a good parks officer his job.
Be my Guest. Hunt with them. If they act as agents and not as operators- More power to them. If we can prove that they or - more usually their clients have broken US and now after the recent court case in Belgium, EU law, will will forward the details to the relivant authorities asap. This includes the Zim government officials who would hate to see the bigger picture interfeared with over a few problems by a few companies.

Mickey1It is my information that OOA have shipped very few, if any, trophies from Zim since the Summer of 2003. Is that addressed in their new clean bill of Health?
