\u201cMy doel hier is om nie verder petrol op die vuur te gooi oor die bobbejaan-probleme in Bettysbaai nie, maar om al die belangegroepe byeen te kry sodat ons kan saam\u00adstaan om \u2019n oplossing vir die situasie te kry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u00edt was die woorde van Anja Gerbers van Bettysbaai, wie se hond en \u2019n wyfiebobbejaan op 24 Augustus in \u2019n geveg betrokke was. Die bobbejaan is later dood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens haar skets die artikel wat in Hermanus Times<\/i> (\u201cBaboon succumbs\u201d, 31 Augustus) en die persverklaring wat die Overstrand-munisipaliteit oor di\u00e9 aangeleentheid uitgereik het, \u2019n verkeerde prentjie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is \u2019n langtermyn-inwoner van Bettysbaai en natuurliefhebber wat glo dat ons in harmonie met die natuur moet leef. Die kommentaar van die Overstrand-munisipaliteit, wat in Hermanus Times<\/i> gepubliseer is, veroorsaak net meer konflik tussen die inwoners, die munisipaliteit en Human Wildlife Solutions (HWS). Terwyl ek hulp vir die beseerde bobbejaan gesoek het, het ek duidelik die vyandigheid tussen die betrokke partye opgemerk. Volgens my is daar nie net wantroue tussen die betrokke partye oor die omstrede manier waar\u00adop die bobbejane gemonitor word nie, maar lei die kommunikasie\u00adprobleme van die verlede ook daartoe by dat geen sinvolle gesprekke tussen die mense met verskillende menings be\u00adstaan nie en moet ons almal saamstaan om \u2019n oplossing vir die probleem te kry.\u201d Volgens haar wou niemand die verloop van gebeure op 24 Augustus ontwrig nie. \u201cInteendeel, almal teenwoordig het probeer om so behulpsaam as moontlik te wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy doel met die skrywe is nie om enige standpunt oor die bobbejaan\u00adkwessie in te neem nie, maar om te beklemtoon dat werk gedoen moet word om die betrokke partye terug te bring na \u2019n tafel sodat ons kan saamwerk en nie teen mekaar nie\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea sy het onlangs \u2019n skrywe gelees oor wat hulle in Rooiels gedoen het. \u201cDit is \u2019n voorbeeld van hoe om die kwessie te hanteer, waar mens en natuur in harmonie kan saamleef.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Bettysbaai-bewaringsorganisasie het ook sy misnoe\u00eb uitgespreek oor die Overstrand-munisipaliteit se verklaring oor die gebeure van di\u00e9 dag:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie Overstrand-munisipaliteit het op 24 Augustus \u2019n onakkurate plasing op sy Facebookblad gesit oor die dood van \u2019n bobbejaan in Silversands. En op 25 Augustus het die Betty\u2019s Bay Conservancy \u2019n verklaring uitgereik wat gelui het: \u2018Ons vind dat hierdie verklaring van die munisipaliteit nie \u2019n akkurate verslag gee oor wat gebeur het nie en dat hulle verkeerde inligting aan die gemeenskap versprei. Ons versoek ook dat dit teruggetrek moet word en eis \u2019n verskoning.\u2019 \u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die bewaringsorganisasie wil hulle die feite onder inwoners en lesers bekend maak:.<\/span> Dit is van die begin af duidelik gemaak dat die bobbejaan deur \u2019n hond gebyt is;.<\/span> Die natuurbewaarder was daar op versoek van die eienaar van die hond aangesien daar geen reaksie van die HWS-blitslyn was nie;.<\/span> Die HWS het nie die bobbejaan ont\u00addek nie; hulle is oor die voorval ingelig;.<\/span> Die inwoners was nie verantwoor\u00addelik vir die volgende nie: vir die feit dat die beseerde bobbejaan in die bosse op die erf weggekruip het; dat die HWS nie toegang tot die bobbejaan kon kry nie; dat die HWS probeer het om die bobbejaan in \u2019n hok te vang; dat die HWS eers later ingestem het om \u2019n veearts te kontak terwyl die eienaar dadelik \u2019n veearts oor die voorval wou inlig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns versoek die munisipaliteit om die saak weer te ondersoek en die regte feite te gee asook \u2019n verskoning oor die verkeerde inligting te plaas,\u201d sluit hulle af.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cMy doel hier is om nie verder petrol op die vuur te gooi oor die bobbejaan-probleme in Bettysbaai nie, maar om al
