Wildlife ranching on the up and up
Apart from the increasing number of conservation areas set aside by government, there has also been an unprecedented increase in the number of private game reserves, particularly in the Eastern Cape where over 20% of all the land is used for the conservation and proliferation of wildlife.
Following the furor of the anti-fur campaign it has long been regarded as politically incorrect to don the skins of wild animals. Interestingly enough, conservation in South Africa has been so successful it is the ever-increasing numbers of wildlife themselves that is arguably the biggest threat to their ongoing survival.
Although the vast majority of us balk at the suggestion of culling, it has proven to be the most successful method of game control.
The recent trend, unique to South Africa, of former cattle farmers converting to wildlife ranches has only served to exacerbate the problem and harsh measures have had to be introduced in an effort to spare the land from overgrazing. It is estimated that over 500 000 ha are being converted from cattle to game each and every year.
Increased land use for the conservation of wildlife
When you consider there are more wild animals in South Africa today than in the past 100 years, then it stands to reason that control and regulation is imperative.
So before your throw all your toys out of the cot when you see a trendy lady gliding by in zebra skin shoes, bear in mind the animal was reared specifically for its meat and skin or more than likely had to die for the balance of the greater good.
Regulated big game hunting is also actively encouraged and it is the skins Nike Air Max 91, meat and other body parts of these animals that are legally used to create man-made articles such as ostrich skin handbags, zebra skin rugs AIR JORDAN XIV, crocodile wallets and snakeskin belts.
It is also important to bear in mind that the vast majority of conservation-friendly pelts and skins have come from wild animals specifically reared for their meat and skins. A percentage of the income generated from the culled animal is ploughed back into the industry and is used in conservation programmes as well as the management and upkeep of important wildlife sanctuaries in the country.
Regulated big game hunting is actively encouraged
The live trade of wild life at legitimate game auctions is an indication of the growth of the wildlife ranching sector and in 2003 nineteen and a half thousand wild animals were sold live at almost 60 auctions throughout the country.
Your thigh muscles are seconds away from snapping like old knicker elastic. You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday--the one that's in your handbag, which you cannot unzip because you only have one free hand. So you take your hand off the door and scrabble about in your bag until you find a ball of paper that would barely cover a gnat's arse. You smooth it out and fluff it up, but it is still only slightly larger than your thumbnail. At this point someone pushes open the door because you've taken your hand away to open your bag. The door hits your handbag, which thumps you in the chest and you and your bag topple backward against the toilet cistern--which is disconcertingly wet.
Ahhhh, relief. More relief. But then your thighs begin to shake Nike Air Max LTD, not helped by the fact that your left arm is stretched to its fullest extent trying to keep the door shut. You'd love to sit down but you didn't have time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper down, so you hold 'The Position' as a quake that would register an eight on the Richter scale travels through your aching thighs. To take your mind off the pain, you reach for what you now discover is an empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you can hear your mother's voice saying: "Darling, if you'd cleaned the seat first, you would have KNOWN there was no toilet paper!"
The large amounts of money that change hands at these auctions for the so-called rare animals like leopard, lion and cheetah has had an enormously beneficial effect on the sustainability of these formerly endangered species. More and more effort is being made by wildlife farmers to increase their numbers and thereby their bank balances.
