FRIDAY, 4.00PM
The investigation into the “canned” lion hunting industry has led to probes being instituted into 130 cases.
The police Endangered Species Protection Unit and Northern Province special investigators have opened 39 dockets as a result of their investigations, and are probing another 90 cases.
And, as investigations continue, evidence is being unearthed of other forms of cheating in the sport, with seized correspondence from one safari operator showing that a rhino that had already died was offered to hunters.
