It has come to our attention that there has been an increase by hunting professionals in Namibia to offer Leopard “management” hunts. In other words, Leopard hunts where no Leopard tag is available. These Leopards are then sold as non-exportable hunts, or “problem animal” hunts.
We would hereby like to warn all NAPHA members that the offering of such hunts is strictly illegal in terms of the Nature Conservation Ordinance and that any person who is found to offer such hunts is not only in breach of the NAPHA Code of Conduct, he or she is also in breach of the law and could be subject to prosecution of disciplinary action by the NAPHA DC.
We therefore strongly advise all our members to refrain from either advertising or offering such hunts as this not only places the future of hunting in jeopardy, you will also be exposing yourself to a world of legal troubles.
