Daai is iets wat ek nie kan verstaan nie. Hoe kan mense doelbewus sulke diere gaan staan en seer / dood maak

JEEPIE · Post by **JEEPIE** » Mon Dec 03, 2012 2:23 pm

I was thinking the same thing, Cassie.

A couple of weeks ago on E-TV News, they showed that #$%^& shooting a Rhino. The pathetic sounds of pain that the Rhino made really had an upsetting influence on me. Professional hunter? I consider shooting a harmless animal like that a crime and would have loved to see that TOS (Terms of Service prohibit my true explanation of him) also get 40 years as did the Vietnamese who was with him.

Before I have to moderate myself, I'm outta here. :x :x :x

Thank you to all the Hilux guys and dolls who did the 'rice run' on Sunday.
Sorry that we couldn't join you, but it's just a tad too far from PE

Anyway, put my name down for another R200. Payment to be done this week.

Hi Forumites, here's a link to Sondela's Facebook where they've also put up the pictures and a thank you from them.

Would have loved to come along! Thanks for the pictures! Hope the donation will bridge a gap or two!

Post by **CasKru** » Wed Dec 05, 2012 6:48 am

We've had a some more donations...

Total to date = R8670

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Wed Dec 05, 2012 7:06 am

Hey Cassie, is that the amount in total received to date, or is that an additional amount that has been received?

Sorry Val... that is the total too date.

Think that is amazing..... wow

Dingo · Post by **Dingo** » Thu Dec 06, 2012 8:24 am

I have had pricing confirmation on the Denkavit Foal = R450 per 15kg bag.

If my maths works out then:

Total collected = R8 510
Cost for rice = R 4000
Balance = R 4 510

At R450 per bag, this means that we can supply 10 x bags

Total = R 4500
Balance = R 10.

I think this was a BRILLIANT effort by the Forum members and you can all be proud of being apart of this - WELL DONE.

Cassie, can you please confirm the numbers, I'm waiting for an invoice for the Denkavit and will forward on.

Hi Forumites

We have now managed to sort out th pricing etc for the Denkavit Foal milk powder and with the remaining money we can buy 10 x bags (15kgs each)

Small problem is:

The milk powder is in Roodepoort and needs to get to Sondela.

Is there anyone who is willing and able to collect the milk powder and get it to Sondela.

Post by **CasKru** » Fri Dec 07, 2012 12:17 pm

I might be able to make a plan... although not in my Lux

Dingo · Post by **Dingo** » Fri Dec 07, 2012 1:04 pm

Powder all sort for collection, Thanx Cassie

I will make a quick roadtrip and take the powder up to Sondela tomorrow morning.

Ali3n · Post by **Ali3n** » Fri Dec 07, 2012 2:02 pm

I will unfortunately have to sit this one out. Have a family g2g tomorrow.

Thanks for your effort Scott. It's appreciated

Made the trippie up to Sondela on saturday and delivered the milk powder. Once again the Wildlife Centre was highly appreciative of our contributions.

As we got there things got a little hectic as one of the rangers had gone into the lion enclosure and 3 of the lions had managed to escape - although they are only 6-8 months old, they are quite a handful to catch and get back into the enclosure, but it was fun.

Got to me the littlest of the rhinos ( only about 3 months old), although he was a little shy, he did come out and say "Hi"

Once again - A huge thank you to all of those who contributed and allowed us (Hilux 4x4 Forum) to make a small difference to some animals that seem to be in a never ending loosing battle.

Maybe we should do A second round,just to settle your nerves.

Dingo · Post by **Dingo** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 8:44 am

Funny enough I was actually think about the little guys yesterday and wondering.

If I get chance today, I'll give Sondela a call and see how things are going.
