Evidence would reign supreme on such instances!! Therefore I will support
reporting the matter.

Hi Rebecca
We recently found 3 hyaena and a leopard carcass which had been dumped on the
side of the road on Mashatu. Upon investigation it transpired that the animals
had been poisoned - it appears with Temick (spelling?), acquired illegally from
a nearby farm - and had died in the vicinity of the poisoned carcass. In order
to avoid attracting attention to himself the perpetrator collected the
carcasses and dumped them away from his cattle post. Unfortunately the police
and the DWNP have not managed to prosecute, although we believe we know who the
perpetrator is. The word on the street is that he won't be prosecuted because
he has influential friends in one or other of the law enforcement units??
Regards
Pete

Dear all,
Several of us have been discussing the use of poisons lately and would like to
collaboratively send a briefing note to the Ministry of Environment on the
current situation concerning wildlife deaths and the use of poison.
Pete Hancock has initiated a document that details BirdLife's recent
experiences with poison issues. We would like to include brief accounts from as
many groups as possible. Does anyone have any information to include? Please
reply to me directly at
rebecca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:rebecca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> and I will send
you the document as it is currently. We will send the final document out for
final review by all contributors before presenting it the Ministry.
We'd appreciate your input and please forward to anyone who may have
experiences with wildlife deaths due to poisoning.
Thanks,
Rebecca
