Boy killed after being mistaken for monkey

[Drifter]

The boy was trespassing

He climbed the guys guava tree!! Someone climbs my guava tree, I will also get angry.

 

[Kloofvreter]

Let's wait for some rotten apples to come in here and say that the boy shouldn't have been there in the first place.

He should not have been there in the first place.

It's much more likely for a monkey to be there though.

It never ends.

1) No comment
2) A man that age shooting a money on his property (one can assume smallholding or farm, perhaps), has probably done it many times before.

So he has broken the law before...?

Vervet monkeys are protected in terms of both national and provincial conservation legislation and also in terms of national animal protection legislation, and injuring or killing them is an offence

Key word probably, but that's irrelevant. Do you know how many farmers and farm workers kill monkeys? Other animals as well. Foxes, leopards, caracals, etc etc

I'm not sure if they are vervet monkeys, and if it makes a difference if they are not.

So because they routinely break the law that is somehow an excuse for continuing to do it?

Samango monkeys are only found in Northern KZN (St Lucia), almost certainly Vervet monkeys.

it makes killing rhino reasonable.

Why do you think we have so many chickens? because we kill and eat them. A chicken has economic value. Now go and look at all endangered species, we aren't allowed to kill them therefore no/low economic value. No reason for farmers to keep or breed them.

Why would you assume that when someone does something all the time, it's no longer illegal?

I'm saying people (especially farmers) shoot monkeys and other pests all the time. They shoot leopards or get hounds to track them down and kill them. They shoot caracals. It's been happening forever. Whether you like it or not, and whether it's legal or not, that's not my problem.

Go speak to someone who's a regular victim of monkeys trashing your house.

Sadly, this boy was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and got shot, and this old man is going to pay for it. I'd be surprised if he doesn't.

Rhinos aren't a pest. Jesus. They don't destroy your crops, kill your sheep or chickens or trash your house routinely. Jesus guy.

obviously you eat monkey as well.

 

[satanboy]

Why would you shoot a monkey...

This.

if a rhino damaged your crops, obviously you have a reason to kill it, right?

One day I'll try bush meat, still need to find an reasonably clean place and people that prepare it properly.

 

[Dreamb]

sounds like you are the racist. you have no proof except for a half ass news article.

here's a couple of items that you didn't think about:


1. you don't know what his eye sight is
2. distance from tree
3. if the sun was in his eyes or not
4. what kind of clothing the child was wearing

what do you say now?

Eye sight lol?
The bastard hit a headshot.
End of...

What answer are you looking for? Are you trying everything in your power to get me to say that shooting rhinos is acceptable? :crylaugh:

Luckily, rhinos (and dolphins and sharks for that matter), are not destroying our crops, because they do not roam on our farms, do they?

Money itself is just a tool.

If the amount of rhino were so much that we consider them pest it wouldn't have made a difference. Yes then farmers would kill them if they damaged crops.
