TROFEEVERBOD BELAGLIK
Indien lugrederye volledig ingelig was oor maatreëls
wat deur geloofwaardige, internasionale bewarings-
organisasies soos Cites (Internasionale Konvensie
oor die Handel in Bedreigde Spesies) ingestel word om onwettige handel in
bedreigde spesies te voorkom, sou hulle nie so ʼn belaglike verbod plaas op
die vervoer van wettige jagtrofeë nie. Deur die vervoer van wettige jagtrofeë
te stop sal niks bygedra word tot “die uitskakeling van onwettige handel en
vervoer van jagtrofeë wêreldwyd en om ons wildlewe-erfenis te red nie”.
Dit is verstommend dat die betrokke rederye nie weet dat, hoewel Cites
die handel in olifant- en renosterprodukte verbied, beperkte permitte wel
jaarliks, ná behoorlike navorsing oor die uitwerking daarvan, uitgereik word
om sulke jagte te onderneem en wat dan wettige trofeë tot gevolg het.
Hierdie aangeleentheid is van die uiterste belang vir wildboere wat die
produk verskaf, én vir jagters wat baie bydra tot die sukses van wildproduk-
sie.
Bedreigde spesies kan volhoubaar aanteel, soos duidelik bewys is deur
Suid-Afrika se sukses met die redding van die witrenoster, waar die jag van
die bedreigde diere kommersiële waarde meegebring het wat daartoe gelei
het dat wildboere in die bedryf belê het, en wat getalle astronomies laat toe-
neem het.
Gelukkig is ons departement van omgewingsake behoorlik ingelig en
bewus van die waarde wat wildproduksie vir ons land meegebring het en
van die belangrikheid van jag in die sinergie tussen produksie, jag en
bewaring.
Ons vertrou dat die departement kaalkop met die betrokke rederye sal
praat en dat hierdie onsinnige verbod opgehef sal word.
BAN ON TROPHIES ABSURD
Had airlines been fully informed about regulations laid down by credible, inter-
national conservation organisations such as Cites (Convention on Internation-
al Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) to prevent trade in
endangered species, they would not have placed such an absurd ban on the
transport of legal hunting trophies. Stopping transport of legal hunting trophies
will not at all contribute towards “eliminating illegal trade and transportation of
hunting trophies worldwide and to save the wildlife heritage”.
It is amazing that the airlines concerned are not aware that, although Cites
prohibits trade in elephant and rhino products, following thorough research
on the effect thereof, limited permits are annually issued to undertake such
hunts, which results in legal trophies.
This issue is of extreme interest to game ranchers supplying the product,
as well as to hunters, who contribute a lot to the success of game produc-
tion.
Endangered species can breed sustainably, as South Africa’s success in
saving the white rhino has clearly demonstrated, where hunting of endan-
gered animals has added commercial value, which has contributed to game
ranchers investing in the industry and which has effected growth in numbers
in an astronomical way.
Luckily, our department of environmental affairs is well informed and
aware of the value of game production for our country, and of the importance
of hunting in the synergy between production, hunting and conservation.
We trust that the department will discuss the issue straight from the shoul-
der with the airlines concerned and that the
absurd ban will be lifted.
