Explain how banning legal sport hunting from the people that buy permits and only in the bush for some days during 5 months of the year and only shoot animals for personal consumption is going to stop poachers that in the bush 24/7/365, buy no permits, killing anything that moves to sell for profit.
Son, the problem isn't actual hunters. It's poachers. They are two different things.
And poachers exist here because people have a taste for local game but too lazy/cowardly/unskilled to go in the bush and get their own game themselves.
You want to save animals from being over hunted? Make the possession of local game animals outside of the hunting season punishable by steep fines and mandatory prison terms with hard labor, and the same penalty should apply for being in possession of such animals with being the holder of a permit for that animal.

Which means they totally ignored the actual problem and going to make it worse. Oh and i didn't know that hunting encourages congregation of more than 5 persons. Learn something new all the time from this Government.
HE hunting season is now completely dead in the water, shot down by the covid19 pandemic.
A release from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries on September 14, indicated that the sale of State Game Licenses – needed to lawfully hunt game on state land during the prescribed hunting season – had been postponed, but this did not cover hunting on private land.
This technicality afforded hunters a loophole whereby they could have possibly still hunted on private land and also possessed and traded in wildmeat sourced from said hunting.
But according to a press release issued on Wednesday by the ministry, amendments have been made to the Conservation of Wildlife Act which bans all forms of hunting be it on state or private land and also bans the possession of wildmeat even on or after October 1, when the hunting season starts.
The cancellation of the hunting season and ban on possession and sale of wildmeat was done on advice from the Ministry of Health that wildlife hunting encourages congregation in contravention of the covid19 public health ordinance, which limits public gatherings to no more than five people.
The Agriculture Ministry release on Wednesday stated that the Conservator of Forests was still considering aspects of hunting and in light of the postponement of the sale of State Game Licences, the Conservator was aware of the fact that without changes to the Conservation of Wild Life Regulations, it was still possible to hunt on private land and possess/sell wildmeat.
The ministry said that without controls there is need to ensure that the market for wildmeat is not flooded by illegally imported meat – which could very well harbour disease-causing microbes – creating another public health risk.
Accordingly, the Conservator has advised Minister of Agriculture Clarence Rambharat of the need to amend the Conservation of Wild Life Regulations.
As such, effective October 1, and until further notice, the Second Schedule to the Conservation of Wild Life Act is amended by deleting the list of animals and birds listed in Parts I and II and most of the cage birds listed in Part III.
Further, the release said, the Regulations relating to possession and sale of wildmeat from October 1, are also amended. This means that from Thursday, no one shall have in his/her possession the whole or any part of an animal, serve, purchase, sell, offer, advertise for sale or expose for sale of the carcass or meat, frozen, fresh, cooked or otherwise any animal referred to in the Third Schedule of the Conservation of Wild Life Act Regulations. This includes Agouti, Tattoo, Lappe, Deer and Quenk (wild hog).

Snakes control the disease spreading pests better than any other method. The snake in yuh house or something that they're vermin? (which would mean yuh house stink and have rats). And no human should come in contact with bats at all because diseases are easily transferable. Bats are protected by law in many countries too. I can understand the concern of vampire bats to poultry and livestock and spreading rabies, but is there any evidence of that locally? I haven't heard of any rabies cases in animals locally. We are more likely to see fruit bats flittering about, but never encounter a bat. So kill the bats and then check if they're vampire?

I know bats are everywhere and they roost in the roof of many homes. But that's not contact. Contact is handling a bat or it touching/scratching you so it can transfer a virus. Healthy bats avoid people well. No actual contact. There is conservation law in many countries where you cannot interfere with a bat roost, or even do work on your own roof without relocating them first.
Those deadly snakes, i agree with you how they shouldn't be in your home and vicinity. But i just hope people don't go in the wild and treat them as vermin because they have a very important role in nature, which is probably how the poachers will see it and kill for fun. And then there are people that kill every snake they see no matter what or where.
