252459 Control non-dangerous causing animals.

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Identify and locate non-dangerous damage causing animals.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Non-dangerous damage causing animals are identified and listed.

Here are some of non-dangerous animals. You list it and identify them.

·        Crickets

·        Herbivores e.g. antelopes

·        Flies

·        Mongooses

·        Monkeys + baboons

·        Ants (Argentirum ants) + termites 

·        Bees

·        Birds – Indian miners

·        Carnivore- Caracal; Jackals

·        Muzziest

·        Termites

·        Waterhog –Potholes

·        Rats + Mice

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Tracking skills are used to identify non-dangerous damage causing animals.

There is 3 main tracking skill how you can identify non-dangerous animals.

·        Look: You can look for a animal spoor, or signs of the animal.

·        Listen: You can listen for the animals sound.

·        Smell: You can smell the animals sent.

So you can use these skills or other to catch or identify an animal.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

The behaviour of non-dangerous damage causing animals are identified and described.

Must do research to find out what type of specie it is, and the hole information about it. So that you would know what to do to get rid of it.

·        Flies:    Life spend- 10days

Food- After the smell

·        Monkeys + baboons:    Food- After food

Sound

·        Waterhog:        Stay in potholes

Breed fast

·        Rats + Mice:     After food

Clean nicely

·        Muzziest:          Breeding- Still water

Alternatives- Pump water

Natural predators-Frogs; Fish; Dragon flies

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4

An overview is given of regulations arising out of legislation applicable to game removal operations as it applies to non-dangerous damage causing animals.

Latest regulations and acts should be identified and implemented.

No Sport hunting for damage causing animals -- The rule bans sport-hunting by

“Hunting clients” (that is, non-South Africans who are paying for a hunt) for damage

causing animals.

 “Damage causing” = causes losses to livestock; damages cultivated trees or crops

or other property; presents a threat to human life; or is present in such numbers that

agricultural grazing is materially depleted.

Culling -- ”Culling” can include management hunts on game farms.

Alien species – No permits are allowed to move “listed threatened or protected animals”

(see below)

 into extensive wildlife systems outside their natural distribution range [meaning

either from outside South Africa or, for South African species, outside their normal

range in South Africa] only if the area the animals will be moved to is a protected

area – the rest will be regulated in terms of the alien species provisions in NEMBA;

 if there is a risk of transmitting disease;

 Hybridization would occur with other species in the extensive system.

Captive breeding – No captive breeding of listed large predators is allowed unless the

breeder agrees in writing that the animals will not be bred, sold, supplied or exported for

hunting activities that are prohibited under these rules. The same applies to the sale,

supply, export, purchase or acquisition of black rhinos and white rhinos.

 An exception is allowed for listed large predators, black rhinos and white rhinos that

were bred in captivity but were rehabilitated in an extensive system and have been

fending for themselves in that system for at least 24 months.

Recognition of Hunting Organizations – Hunting organizations already in existence

have three months, after 1 February 2008, in with to apply for “recognition” by

Government. In order to obtain recognition, the organization must –

 Have a code of ethical conduct and good conduct and must enforce that code

against its members

o The code must require compliance with legislation regulating the hunting

industry, along with any conditions expressed in national hunting permits;

4

o The code must define the criteria for the hunting of listed threatened and

protected species in accordance with the fair chase principle and must

require its members to hunt in compliance with those criteria

o The code must provide for disciplinary steps, including suspension and

expulsion of members.

 Report hunting violations to the South African Police Service

 Have a clear policy on broad based black economic empowerment to include

persons from disadvantaged communities as members.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2

Assist in control measures for non-dangerous damage causing animals within the area of operation.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Trapping and baiting techniques used during control operations relating to non-dangerous damage causing animals are applied as per organisational requirements.  You must know what selective is or not selective to use for an animal. E.g. Large animals – Gages: That is big where it can lead the inside and close the gages door at the back. Traps – Where you put it on the ground and catch the animal’s feet if he walks in to it. Smaller animals: E.g. Insects – A stripe that has glue on. Bating - -Catch with food or shoot.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Control measures are maintained to provide assistance in the capturing of non-dangerous damage causing animals.

You must have measures and it must be maintained to provide assistance for you and your people. Must say why it is important and not.

Where you can hunt, e.g. culling.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

Poisons, sprays and/or biological agents are applied in accordance with applicable legislation and manufacturer's instructions.

Methods you can use to catch an animal. But you need to plan before do it.

Poison: Food that has poison in to kill the animal.

Spay: E.g. Insect spry so that they die if it sprays on.

Biological: Em –Microbes ; Parasitic – Wasps (flies); Plant extracts

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4

Breeding sites are limited to control certain species.

You must think certain ways of controlling it.

When you have breeding sites you have to control certain species so that it can work out.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 3

Carry out skinning, disposal, preservation and other procedures to remove carcasses of animals.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Assistance is provided in the carrying out of skinning, disposal and other procedures as it relates to the disposal of carcasses.

It is you responsibility to know what to with carcasses, where you going to put it or burn it.

You must also have a plan to know what to do.

E.g.

 Burn it; Mount it; Aasvoel restaurant.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Assistance is given in the preservation of carcasses as per operational requirements.

Because if you don’t there will become problems and something will happen if you can’t preserve it.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 4

Assist in community interactions.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Assistance is rendered in communicating with the local community in addressing problem animal incidents.

You have to communicate with the local community. Because you will have problem animal incidents, so communicate how’s animals it is, what it did.

E.g.

Malaria; Biting; Shooting.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Information is gathered from local communities as it relates to problem animals.

Gather information about the species from local communities where it relates the problem animals, so that you can have information about it to overcome the problems.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

Assistance is rendered in addressing problems with non-dangerous damage causing animals through the dissemination of information.  Get more information about the problem specie to know why is it happening? You must give good information to the group, because if each person don’t know what is happening there will be something wrong, so it important for each person to know what is happening everywhere or going on.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4

Assistance is rendered in the educating of local communities about damage causing animals.

Assistance is give to the local communities to give them more information about non-problem animals and what they can do and what they can’t do.

E.g. 

Can go to schools to learn the children about it and may be they can talk to their parents and the parents can learn from them, it will make the world in a better place.
