60 snares found
Members of a unit against poachers discovered yesterday the
skulls of more than 51 gemsbokke on a farm in the triangle between Karibib,
Omaruru and Okahandja.
Among the remains were also evidence of some kudu that was in it
captured and slaughtered. Still farms in the same area still have to be members of
the K9APU, a wildlife game unit, is shaken.
The wildlife slaughterhouse is in a single area with a radius of about 1.5 km.
Sunday, more than 60 strings were already taken out by members of the field force.
Indications were that the same traps repeatedly by the poachers
used. It is so cautious that even members of the
investigation team almost ended up in it.
The sluaghter place of 28 of the gemsbokke indicates a game of wildlife about four to six
weeks ago. The other 23 skulls can take the rest of a raid at the
beginning of the year.
The territory in question is located near a gravel road and indications are that the
poachers pull the carcasses into the field and then they leave it
to be sold in the smuggling trade.
Only the heads are left in the field.
It has been reliably learned that the impossible situation already exists on a
meeting of the relevant farmers' association was discussed.
An appeal has been made to members to check their farms for a wildlife fix or
to check too late.
As already used in the campaign against a game of wildlife, the exact spot is
of the cruel discovery, because it can perform follow-up operations
influence.
The poachers are apparently aware of the pursuit and in places are on knits
came down who was not nagery. This indicates that the wild dams are the ward
taken without taking their deadly equipment with them.
In the area concerned there is a gathering of people claiming they are in
service of a mine. Others are small mines and general vacancies move
apparently among the people too.

Slagplaas in veld skok in Karibib-omgewing
60 strikke gevind Des Erasmus - Lede van ‘n eenheid teen wildstropers het gister reeds op die skedels van meer as 51 gemsbokke op ‘n plaas in die driehoek tussen Karibib, Omaruru en Okahandja afgekom.
Onder die reste was ook bewyse van enkele koedoes wat daar in strikke gevang en geslag is. Nog plase in dieselfde omgewing moet nog deur lede van die K9APU, ‘n eenheid teen wilddiewery, geskud word.
Die slagplaas van die wild is in ‘n enkele gebied met ‘n straal van sowat 1,5 km. Sondag was meer as 60 strikke reeds deur lede van die veldmag uitgehaal. Aanduidinge was daar dat dieselfde strikke herhaaldelik deur die stropers gebruik word. Dit word so versigtig gestel dat selfs lede van die ondersoekspan byna daarin beland het.
Die slagplek van 28 van die gemsbokke dui op ‘n wildstelery sowat vier tot ses weke gelede. Die ander 23 skedels kan die reste van ‘n strooptog aan die begin van die jaar wees.
Die betrokke grondgebied lê naby ‘n grondpad en aanduidinge is dat die stropers die karkasse in die veld uitmekaar haal en dat hulle dit dan pad toe dra om in die smokkelhandel verkoop te word.
Net die koppe word in die veld gelaat.
Daar is betroubaar verneem dat die onmoontlike situasie reeds op ‘n vergadering van die betrokke boerevereniging bespreek is.
‘n Beroep is op lede gedoen om almal hul plase vir ‘n wildstelery na te gaan of te laat nagaan.
Soos nou al gebruik is in die veldtog teen ‘n wilddiewery, is die presiese plek van die grusame ontdekking nie verstrek nie, omdat dit opvolgoperasies kan beïnvloed.
Die stropers is blykbaar bewus van die agtervolging en op plekke is op strikke afgekom wat nie nagery was nie. Dit dui daarop dat die wilddiewe die wyk geneem het sonder om hul dodelike toerusting saam met hulle te neem.
In die betrokke gebied is daar ‘n saamtrek van mense wat beweer hulle is in diens van ‘n myn. Ander is kleinmyners en algemene leeglêers beweeg blykbaar ook onder die mense.
