RE: 3 brains and still almost driven over by a car

in #reptiles8 years ago

I saved one a while back! The people near Rustenburg put them in two liter cool drink bottles so that they can't escape. Then they sell these to foreigners. I bought one and took it home. Unfortunately it disappeared soon after. Luckily we live in an area where they can survive easily.

Sort:  

Well done, but unfortunately buy paying money to "rescue" it, the cycle continues...

It is a common trick out Rustenburg way and the locals have turned it into a business.

I agree but felt so bad for the poor little thing in the bottle. I nearly slapped the guy and just gave him the money and we left. I did report this to WESSA so hopefully they will stop this in it's tracks. Terrible that people can behave like this but I just don't think they see any value in these little animals except "MONEY"
