I can see the Rhino and Elephant but the others? It is nice to see their canned/drugged hunts getting beat-up though.........
On Tuesday February 20th, the long awaited South Africa regulations were published. The intent of the regulations was to abolish what many consider abhorrent hunting practices in South Africa including hunting drugged animals, ‘canned’ hunting of large predators such as lions in small enclosures, and other methods deemed to run counter to fair-chase methods.
These regulations should send a shock wave across the bowhunting community as we were singled out and thrown as freely as the proverbial bone to anti-hunting organizations that want all hunting abolished in RSA. Here are the bowhunting opportunities abolished under these regulations:
Cheetah
Lion
Leopard
Brown and Spotted Hyena
Wild Dog
Black Rhino
White Rhino
Elephant
Crocodile
It appears that Hippo, and Buffalo are still available to bowhunters wishing to hunt RSA as they are not specifically mentioned as prohibited activities within these regulations. And plains game hunting is still available to bowhunters.
