More than a week after the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources announced a N$10 000 reward for information regarding the deliberate killing of Cape Cormorants near Henties Bay, no leads have emerged. The ministry's spokesperson, Uaripi Katjiukua, confirmed on Thursday that not a single member of the public has come forward with vital information. "We are, however, confident that some information will be forthcoming and that we will be able to initiate a criminal investigation soon," she said. The incident, which occurred on 17 January at Canopy in Dorob National Park, involved a driver in a four-wheel-drive vehicle intentionally running over a flock of Cape Cormorants (Phalacrocorax capensis) as they roosted on the beach. Eyewitnesses to the aftermath of the incident reported that a vehicle sped into the birds, leaving dozens dead, critically injured, or maimed. Cormorants, known for their slow take-off when taking flight, were seemingly unable to escape the oncoming vehicle, which appeared to have intentionally targeted the flock. Numerous birds were left suffering severe injuries while others lay dead on the ground. The person who reported the incident described the act as "senseless and deeply troubling."
