Two Poachers Caught
Category: Issues | Date: May 06 2009 | By: tumaren
Tumaren’s Rangers have caught 2 more Poachers hunting Impalas with snares on our property. These particular men have been selling us honey for many years. Because the honey gathering was helping the local community there presence on Tumaren was tolerated and the honey collected was purchased by Kerry. Kerry then would filter and sell the honey in Nairobi allowing the local community to sell to a much larger market. Not only have we paid these men many hundreds of dollars for their honey but we have also spoken to them about other employment as their brother is the new Councilor for the Ol Motiok community to our north. We were told that these men had to pay 10,000 shillings about the equivalent of 130 US dollars. This kind of punishment is sadly pathetic but it will hopefully scare them back off our conservation area. Should they try snaring again on Tumaren they will supposedly (hopefully) face a much steeper charge.

One Response to “Two Poachers Caught”

how frustrating when you are helping these men who in return sort of betraying your trust! do you know their reasons for poaching? are they father and son? their want for more money or their need for more? or maybe it’s too damn easy for them to get free meat! maybe you should have charged them for killing or attempting to kill any wildlife by deducting the payment for their honey. maybe it is easier to ban their entry for life.
