And  Animal Rights Africa The South African conservation system was conceived during colonialism and apartheid and reflects the authoritarian norms of that era. These were landscapes that produced both human and other animals as victims....Today, conservation management remains under the control of long-entrenched bureaucrats. Mostly white, Afrikaans-speaking men, these functionaries come from the same tight-knit community as many of those involved in captive breeding and canned hunting. Many are hunters themselves. And if this is not the case the new government has merely adopted the old practices of the previous regime....In South Africa, given our colonial and apartheid past, we have deeply engrained culture of violence and of pulling out a gun as the first option. quote from interview at: http://www.abolitionist-online.com/07l_pickover.shtml  Today's Guest
