Kimberley - The man, who was named on the Landmark Leopard & Predator Project’s Facebook page, apparently shot the leopard near Augrabies.
“An adult male leopard was caught in a gin trap and then shot this week,” the Facebook post states, pointing out that the farmer had no permit to authorise this capture. The post adds that this was at a time when it was estimated that between 3 000 and 5 000 leopards remained in South Africa, with some areas sparsely populated, and the war on leopards continued. “In the Western Cape 500 adult leopards remain, in the Eastern Cape 400 and in the Northern Cape it is unknown how many remain.”
Fingers were pointed at the Northern Cape man mentioned in the post for apparently committing similar acts in the past.
