& Another 2 bite the dust!
Worcester - Fairy Glen. 9 Year old bull & 6 year old pregnant cow - darted with morphine & then dehorned with a panga! Mebbe I'm sick but I don't see that the legal execution of a tik mule in China rates more headline space than this.
We are heading for the extinction of a species on the basis that less than 0,001% of the body weight of the animal is harvested for dubious medicinal properties! Oh, & the cow will have to be aborted. WTF is the 'Government' doing about this? Basically SFA!
Have a look at the Cape Times front page of this morning (12th December 2011) for ome really lovely pics to help the breakfast go down! :o(

There's ye answer then. Set those mad fu**er Gurkha types to look after them .....
Problem we have, Ditch is that the level of corruption in the upper eschelons of government, government agencies (including police, National Parks etc. ect.) is totally out of control! We have a president who fancies himself as a karioki(?) singer & believes on the old testement saying of 'go forth & multiply'! We have come from a period of intelligence & understanding (Mandela) via ignorance & tribal & witch doctor lore (Mbeki) to total chaos (Zuma & his monkey on his back Malema). To see a fantastic country like this go through all the hardship & turmoil of the past & end up as this unmitigated 'Banana republic) pile of shit is heartbreaking! Makes one want to grab the rifle & 'go bush' once again.....
