Who are these people who are taking hunting dogs…
Category: Wild Dog | Date: Mar 19 2009 | By: milgistrust
For many years I have been told of people looking for hunting/wild dog, puppies, or dogs… The day I went with one of the scouts to look for the hunting dog den with ‘our cheetah’, Lesuuda, he mentioned that a few years ago he had been offered money to find puppies…. I have never managed to find who is it is, and what they are doing with them?… CAN ANY ONE FILL ME IN???? I am extremely disturbed about what happened the other day.. A fully grown hunting dog fell down a well in Nairimirmo, the area in between the Matthews and Kirisia hills… The Samburu people who found it, pulled it out but it had been in the water for quite a time so was not in the fighting form it should have been in… To my surprise that evening I got a message saying that they were still holding it, and what should they do with it… I was so angry… Why keep it?? LET IT GO IMMEDIATELY…. and if it was not able to go to call us, and we would come to pick it up, to try to save its life… BUT They then got a message from somebody??… Not to release it and 36 hours after the dog was pulled out of the well it was still tied up in a manyatta, and I was told KWS was coming to pick it up… Which they did… But when I tried to find out where this dog was taken, I get a blank …SHOCKING… what on earth are they up to….. I really hope that very rare animal is still alive.. I’m worried for it and all the others that have been taken…

I Helen Douglas-Dufresne, have been doing walking camel safaris for the last 20 years in the Mathews-Ndoto region having witnessed the destruction of the Milgis ecosystem by the local communities who were unaware of its implications, either we did something or not- so the Milgis trust was born!

The KWS picked the dog up and they won’t tell you where it was taken to? This sounds really fishy - Don’t think you can sell wild dogs on the black market? Or why would you? Please Helen let me know what you find out. I hope the pup is still alive also!!

I was put in touch with your blog/site by Jane Craig. So good to hear what is going on. I was really saddened to hear about the wild dog being “taken”. I wonder if he might have ended up in the illegal exotic pet trade!! I hope not. If you do find out, I would love to hear what the outcome was.
I was interested to read about the baby elephant you found (2006). I was so sorry the totos did that to her ears, but I was so pleased you have started an educational programme.
I understand the fires and drought affecting the country this year are horrendous and fear for the game up in the north, made worse by the road building by the Chinese! YOur blog is great. look forward to keeping up with it.
