Re: Vervet Monkeys
Phone KZN Parks offices at Queen Elizabeth Park and ask them - best to get it from the horse's mouth

Re: Vervet Monkeys

Re: Vervet Monkeys
think the issue with our residential areas is that we have some serious sicko's running around
I'm all for vermin control on working farms etc, but a recent case a old ballie was poisoning the vervets with anti-freeze and round up in food he left out for them
theres killing and then there is unnecessary pain inflicted/prolonged death
thats how the bunny huggers got huge support here, that and they are now pushing for a ban on pellet guns (yes i know) as they have been picking up babies with pellets lodged in their brains etc

Re: Vervet Monkeys
Not exactly what you're after but does this help: https://www.sanbi.org/animal-of-the-week/vervet-monkey/
"Vervet monkeys are classified as Lower Risk/Least Concern by the IUCN due to their wide range."

Re: Vervet Monkeys
Here is the latest KZN hunting gazette. No mention of vervets.

Re: Vervet Monkeys
Personally I'm not sure about the legalities, but I have no issues with clearing vervet monkeys. At one of my annual Karoo hunting spots, vervet monkeys have completely taken over. Their numbers have shot through the roof and they've just about decimated the local bird life. Eggs from nesting birds seems to be a particular favourite snack.
I'm not the kind of hunter that like to shoots anything that moves.. But vervet monkeys is fair game!
Sure, let them "live in peace" in areas where they belong and in numbers that doesn't wrack other wild life. But from what I've seen they can very destructive and very invasive!

Re: Vervet Monkeys
At some of the game lodges where we work the vervets are ridiculous. The general view is that one musn't shoot the biggest /leader - that causes total .confusion
in the pack and they go balistic. Supposedly take. out the younger ones and they will move on as their instint is to protect their younge type action the scramble.. A few lodges have whacked some. with caties and now, if you just make catie moves, they scramble..

Re: Vervet Monkeys
In the Kruger they're such a nuisance, they took food from my mother's hands when we had breakfast at a stop. So bad that when I charged the apparent leader of the troop to chase her away from my mom and wife, with my jacket waving, this thing was so cocky she came at me. The only thing that worked was an obvious Kruger-regular - he pulled out a kettie and just lifted it and the troop scattered.
