Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>Arusha. Local hunters have once again criticized a new legislation on wildlife hunting.<\/p>\n

They claim that the recently passed bill on hunting could be another ploy to push them out of business.<\/p>\n

Saidi Mzee, the secretary of Tanzania Local Hunters Association (TLHA) said the association has some reservations on the bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is bent on removing us from hunting,\u201d he told The Citizen, calling for swift intervention of higher authorities.<\/p>\n

He said efforts to reach out the relevant authorities to have their grievances heard and acted upon have been futile.<\/p>\n

That is despite a series of meetings convened by the Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority (Tawa) for the hunting companies and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Also involved is the Wildlife Division in the Natural Resources and Tourism, another government arm overseeing wildlife hunting.<\/p>\n

Criticisms against the bill follows recent complaints by the same group over not being allocated hunting blocks with sufficient numbers of animals.<\/p>\n

The 45-member TLHA alleges this was a systematic way to push them out of the hunting business in favour of tourist hunters from abroad.<\/p>\n

However, lately the body has claimed that most critical in their grievances are not confined to the hunting licences.<\/p>\n

Mr Mzee said the critical point on their grievances was the recently passed \u201cdraconian bill\u201d which threatens to edge them out of hunting business.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe premise of our cry is on the new bill, not licenses,\u201d he affirmed, calling for the intervention of President Samia Suluhu Hassan on the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur salvation is on Mama Samia,\u201d hinted the chairperson of the association, Mr Ali Jumbe, in an interview.<\/p>\n

He alleged that the Wildlife Conservation (Resident Hunting) Regulations, 2020 were not friendly to the indigenous players in the industry.<\/p>\n

TLHA, a legal entity registered since 2011, is one of the hunting groups whose members are licensed to hunt for game meat, trophy and for hobby.<\/p>\n

Another hunters\u2019 body called the Tanzania Hunting Operators Association (Tahoa) recently appealed for tax cuts.<\/p>\n

The organisation claimed during a meeting of tourist hunting companies that increased taxation threatens to bring down their trade.<\/p>\n
