[News24] While details around the incident remain sketchy, police spokesperson Captain Charlize van der Linden, confirmed that Pero Jelinic, from Croatia, and two other Croatians, were hunting captive-bred lions at Leeubosch Lodge near Setlagole, when the incident occurred. According to Van der Linden, the hunting party had already killed a lion, and were tracking a second cat, when Jelinic was struck by a bullet. "He was air-lifted to Vryburg Hospital by helicopter, but doctors were unable to save the man's life. A case of culpable homicide has been opened, and police are also investigating charges of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition," she said. "At this stage it is not clear who fired the fatal shot that killed Mr Jelinic. Our investigations are ongoing." Died doing what he loved. |

#2 IMO, 'game farm' hunting should be outlawed. Probably won't happen. They are a huge source of income for corrupt governments throughout Africa. |
