http://allafrica.com/stories/201603041320.html Namibia: Cabinet Rejects Wildlife Hunting Pressure By Shinovene Immanuel The government reiterated that it will oppose any call to ban or restrict hunting or the exporting of wildlife products from Namibia. Information minister Tjekero Tweya announced this yesterday at a media briefing, saying Cabinet has approved Namibia's position to reject calls by some international wildlife sympathisers and activists who have criticised the Namibian government for allowing the intentional hunting of animals such as rhinos. "Cabinet directed the Ministry of Environment and Tourism to actively campaign against any attempt to ban or restrict hunting and the export of wildlife products from Namibia," Tweya said. According to him, Cabinet has also directed that government ministers who are part of Cabinet must campaign Namibia's position at different platforms and communicate the importance of trophy hunting to national conservation and sustainable development goals. "Cabinet took note that a code of conduct for conservation hunting is being developed, accompanied by improvements in the regulation of hunting and strengthening the link between hunting and conservation," the information minister said. The ministry of environment announced at the end of 2013 that they had obtained a five-year approval from Cabinet to sell five black rhinos yearly for trophy hunting. That decision did not sit well with wild animal activists, who criticised the move. Namibia has been in the international media for rhino killings, even though the state insists that it is being done for a good cause to fund other conservancy projects. The government raked in N$3,7 million in 2014 from a controversial permit which allowed an endangered black rhino to be killed by a foreigner. Meanwhile, Tweya also announced that Cabinet had given the green light for the ministry of industrialisation to prepare for the 2016 international investment conference under the theme 'journey towards prosperity'. That conference is scheduled for 12 to 13 May 2016. Apart from that, Cabinet also discussed several issues regarding gender-based violence, especially relating to the commemoration of international women's day, which is set for 8 March 2016.

Good for them! Let's continue to support the pro-hunting government by spending our tourism $$ there! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Another solid reason to keep hunting Namibia! Now, if the rest of Southern Africa would only take notice and follow. . . . | |||

Might have to be my next trip Go Namib " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

I received notification today from Hunting Report of another airline ( LAN ) banning the transport of hunting trophies. How refreshing therefore amidst the current tide of anti hunter and anti hunting sentiment pervading everything that one government body sees beyond all the bs to properly recognise the conservation and economic benefits of hunting, and actually intends to further communicate the same. I've never been ashamed to say "I am a hunter" but this from Namibia makes me quite proud that I am. I am pleased to say I will hunt there, and make my contribution, in 2017. Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing. | |||
