Yet more snares
Category: Wild Dogs, poaching, zimbabwe | Date: Aug 22 2009 | By: zimbabwewilddogs
Hi folks,
Sorry we have been quiet recently. Both Rafael and I have been out in the field from sun-up to sun-down doing our best to remove snares from dogs. Unfortunately we havent yet been successful - the affected dogs are very skittish and wary and we simnply cant get close to them - but we will keep trying.
On a more positive note, the dogs we have de-snared recently are doing well, and aside from the litter of pups that was killed by lions, the pups are generally doing well as well. Many of them are now getting to the really cute age where they are curious and inquisitive and come up to the car to check you out - cute photos coming soon I promise!
Hopefully we’ll have some good news to report on the de-snaring in the next few days too, but if it’s quiet on the blog, you’ll now know why!
Back soon,
Rosemary

We understand Rosemary - post when you are able. The wildlife is more important than us right now :>)

Just want to say thank you for all that you are doing for these beautiful painted dogs. It is truly beyond my understanding how someone could use a snare on wildlife. Keep up the good work.
