‘This poaching was definitely intentional poaching for muti reasons ‘,he said.
The carcasses were found on Friday November 20, by a group of volunteers called the Letaba Ranch Honorary Rangers which is headed up by Lutz Otto.
Otto said they had found 22 poisoned vultures.
The carcasses were found hidden in a drainage line.
Their heads, gillets, chests and most of their feet were removed. He said he had observed no tags. The white backed vultures were killed with parts of a buffalo carcass laced with poison that was strategically positioned in a clearing on a crest of a hill to kill them.
