Transporting a game carcass.

[TStone]

Is it legal to transport a game carcass from a game reserve into the city during the lockdown?

I suppose, the question would be are you delivering an essential service, and if so, have the required permits.. Just my opinion..

Just sent you an email which may shed light, but the short version is probably "tread carefully"...

[Messor]

Probably legal to supply a butchery, since it's food.
Probably illegal to deliver to a private person directly if you yourself are not a food supplier.

If you are talking about yourself(from your location to), then PM me.

Thanks, it seems to be a grey area which is best avoided.

I did it last week.
Animals were culled. Showed the CIPC Certificate for the Company and the Annexure 2 letter, plus the usual Carcass Transport letter. Was let through the 2 x roadblocks straight away

Was the meat transported in a refrigerated trailer/vehicle?

No. In Large Plastic Bags, with a Tarp over them

1. • Part of a communiqe from SA Hunters regarding movement of game carcasses.
   • Hunting for sport and recreational purposes is not permissible (en ek weet nie een van ons beskou jag as `n sport of ontspanningsaktiwiteit nie)
   • A culling operation is permissible subject to the following restrictions
     
     • May be conducted during the curfew time frames
     • A maximum of 12 persons per culling operation (relating to shooting, recovery and slaughtering personnel)
     • A maximum of 3 persons per vehicle
     • Persons participating in the culling operation may be provided with accommodation
   
   
2. Op Bladsy 18 onder die opskrif “Conveying, moving or otherwise translocating”
   
   • Carcasses or venison/game meat originating from hunts or culling operations may be conveyed, moved or otherwise translocated across district, metro or provincial borders, provided that they are conveyed, moved or otherwise translocated as cargo.
   
   
3. Op Bladsy 19 onder die opskrif “Selling or otherwise trading in, donating, giving, buying, receiving, accepting as a gift.”
   
   • Selling or otherwise trading in, donating, giving, buying, receiving, accepting as a gift of venison or game meat is permissible provided that the sourcing of such venison/game meat complies with the requirements of the Meat Safety Act, 2000
   • Selling or otherwise trading in, donating, giving, buying, receiving, accepting as a gift of carcasses or unprocessed meat is permissible, provided that it is for essential purposes
   • Selling or otherwise trading in, donating, giving, buying, receiving, accepting as a gift of dead specimens other than carcasses unprocessed meat or venison/game meat is not permissible

Uit die bogenoemde is dit duidelik dat slegs populasiebestuur van wild en dan waarskynlik deur middel van die jag of oes van wild gedoen kan word, met die voorwaarde dat die vereistes van die Vleisveiligheidsregulasies nagekom moet word soos gepubliseer ingevolge die Vleisveiligheidswet van 2000 Die Vleisveiligheidsregulasies is na my kennis slegs van toepassing wanneer wild vir die uitvoermark geoes word, maar hierdie regulasies word nou eksplisiet ook van toepassing gemaak vir die oes van wild onder die inperkingsregulasies. Die regulasies is hier beskikbaar. Verder is dit duidelik dat wildsvleis, selfs al is dit as geskenk gegee of ontvang, slegs vervoer mag word as dit deel is van `n noodsaaklike diens. Ek waarsku dus dat dit nie so eenvoudig is soos om paar man bymekaar te maak en gou te gaan wild oes nie. Dit is onder my aandag gebring dat by twee geleenthede oor die afgelope naweek jagters in padblokkades voorgekeer is (in Noordwes en Limpopo) met al die nodige permitte, maar sonder die permit ingevolge die Vleisveiligheidsregulasies. In beide gevalle is alle vleis konfiskeer en in een geval het die manne van Saterdagaand af in die selle oornag. Hulle is gisteroggend vrygelaat op borgtog. In die ander geval is ek bloot nie seker wat verder gebeur het nie.

Eina, I believe it goes further than the night in jail and confiscated game meat...since this will be seen as a criminal offence the chances of them loosing their rifles as well may be on the cards...hope they have very , very good lawyer...
