The issue of law enforcement was comprehensively debated by Team 6. Both the supporting and opposing camps expressed their views and concerns regarding the law enforcement in the rhino poaching space. Below is a discussion on what transpired and canvassed during the course of the debate. The opposing camp indicated that during the course of 2014, 386 people were arrested in connection with rhino poaching (which is an increase on previous years). However, 374 of these arrests were only ‘level 1’ arrests. These level 1 poachers are the people that directly do the ‘dirty work’ and are quite easily replaced by the criminal syndicates who orchestrate the poaching. Level 2 – 5 arrests constitute people higher up the chain from receivers, couriers, buyers and exporters and they only made up 12 of the arrests. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. One of the ‘great’ arrests was that of kingpin Hugo Ras in 2014 whose syndicate was responsible for the death of 24 rhinos between 2008 and 2012. BUT 90% of Hugo’s syndicate that faced 318 rhino-related poaching’s were released on bail. The major concerns for the opposing camp …show more content…

Without this issue being given a priority, it would be difficult to have rhino poaching offenders being successfully prosecuted, convicted and sentenced. Both the supporting and opposing camps see a need and urgency of prioritizing the issue of law enforcement and it is possible to have this achieved. As it transpired in the debate on this aspect that in addressing this, the first step would be to look at the current applicable security and law enforcement measures in place for rhino protection. It should be established if they are effective enough to ensure rhino protection and most importantly, to establish if the current security and law enforcement measures are aligned with government initiatives to fight rhino

These non- customary users of natural resources are restructuring the enforcement responsibilities of conservation officers and putting them at increased threat for assault and use of force (Shelley, 2009). Is there an explanation why the enforcement of non-conservation laws enhances the probabilities for assault and use of force? Fishing and boating are regulated pastimes, with the offense for violations being fines. As conservation officers embark toward a traditional policing role, they amplify their possibility of confrontation by subjects they would not usually come in contact with during their course of enforcing conservation laws. Frequently, many individuals do not acknowledge the authority of a conservation officer, subsequently resulting in assaults or use of force.

So what is the moral of the story with regard to presidential and congressional elections? Well we just need to fix what information is more widely available. Of course you can tell that there is tones of information on the current presidential candidates. There is so much of this info that lately its just been silly and childish information.

1. One of the main arguments of the debate was overall the definition of the presidential campaign. The opposition really laid into the idea that the campaign was about winning, that it wasn’t focusing on the end goal of presidency, but instead the process of getting to that point should be emphasized with emotion and drama. That the campaign is about winning and process getting their not about the actual presidency. The proposition countered with that the result of the election shouldn’t be forgotten and that the character and morality that is demonstrated in the campaign is an indicator of their presidency.

In the article ¨ 6 Endangered Animals Poachers Are Hunting Into Extinction,¨ Jessica Phelan describes how the killing of Cecil the Lion decreased the tourism in Zimbabwe due to the hunting. This is just one example of poachers interfering with human life. If more of this continues, humans will be the only living thing on Earth. For elephants, laws have been passed to protect the ivory in their tusks that everyone wants to get hands on. In 2011, one in every 12 African elephants were killed (Phelan).

South Africa faces challenges in this regard such as high unemployment, corruption and inequality that is continuing to increase, all of which makes it somehow logical for these perpetrators to poach Rhinos of their horns, sell it and gain profit.

These, the largest living land mammals, are at risk of being terminated by humans. Elephants are a keystone species; meaning if they became extinct, extreme consequences would come to all wildlife around them. These gentle giants are quickly being wiped out by poaching, human-wildlife conflict, and abuse. The underlying issue within all of this is the general lack of respect for elephant life. Action needs to be taken to prevent these incredibly intelligent and emotional creatures from disappearing.

In accomplishing this mission, prevention is the first imperative of justice. Crime prevention, however, is a multi-sectoral, multi-disciplinary, and integrated endeavour. The term National Security must be viewed in its broadest context in that it is more than just dealing with military threats. It must be viewed as safety from chronic threats and protection from sudden disruptions in the patterns of daily life.
