I am happy to report that some progress has been made on Robben Islands problem. A South African businessman has come forward and offered to pay for the capture and relocation of the Fallow Deer on the Island to more suitable sanctuaries. His proposal still has to be approved by the authorities, but there is some hope for these animals now.
Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the feral rabbits on the Island, it looks like they may be culled, but the verdict is not out yet.
It is always wonderful when someone who has the money to help steps up to the plate and not only offers to pay but has a “hands on” strategy too. Well done Searl Derman for offering your help and money!

And boo to the govt for even having to think about it. That doesn’t require legislation, only a quick signature from a minor executive department head.
I agree with you T but nothing is so simple in Africa. How are you?
I am good. Going on vacation tomorrow until the 24th. Boston and Cape Cod. I will post you some pics. Hope this issue doesn’t take a year to get resolved. Before the guy with the money changes his mind. Sigh.
Keep up the good work. I still need to talk to you.
