Thanks Mr. Holomisa UDM Email list |
Please write to your local member of parliament and urge the law makers to follow Mr. Holomisa's idea and hold a public hearing. In addition, please ask your local representative to work towards legislation that would prohibit the import and export of wild-caught elephants. As Mr. Holomisa stated,"The future of our country's wildlife heritage is at stake. If the government does not do something now, in a relatively short period of time, overseas zoos, circuses and safari parks will be the only places to find our wildlife." | ||||||
