Durban - A Good Samaritan came to the rescue of a poached duiker when he confiscated the animal from its poacher. The Centre for Rehabilitation of Wildlife (Crow) reported that on Sunday it received a call from a concerned member of the public from Hammarsdale, who informed them that he had confiscated a male grey duiker as it was a victim of poaching. He had taken the grey duiker and placed him in his tool shed. "Adult male duiker are strong and in order for him to be released safely, he needed to be darted," Crow said. The centre said that thanks to the great collaboration between Crow, the vet and a generous donation by the member of the public that came to the rescue, they were able to dart the grey duiker and release it safely. "Unfortunately, reports of poaching are increasing in the Hammarsdale area, which required us to release the grey duiker in another area," Crow said.
