Honde wat skape tydens strooptogte verskeur, lewende beeste waarvan die hakskene afgekap is en of wat in draadstrukke wurg, asook wild wat met assegaaie gesteek word en lydsaam vrek - dit is aan die orde van die dag op Namibiese plase. Selfs dragtige diere word nie deur stropers en diewe gespaar nie, terwyl landbouers net magteloos moet toekyk. Meer as 90 mense oraloor die land het Republikein die afgelope twee weke gekontak nadat vrae as deel van ‘n informele opname in die sosiale media oor vee- en wilddiefstal gestel is. Hulle sê die situasie ruk handuit en is besig om baie boere "finaal finansieel uit te roei".

Dogs that tear apart sheep during raids, live cattle whose heels have been chopped off or strangled in wire traps, as well as game that is stabbed with assegai and patiently dies - these are the order of the day on Namibian farms. Even pregnant animals are not spared by poachers and thieves, while farmers just have to watch helplessly. More than 90 people across the country have contacted Republican over the past two weeks after questions were asked as part of an informal social media survey about livestock and game theft. They say the situation is getting out of hand and are "finally financially eradicating" many farmers.
