Diesel update.

We received the
permits/paper work, allowing us to legally move Diesel to the African Raptor Centre in KZN to join their breeding program.

Thank you Ben and Jacqui for this opportunity and a huge thank you to CapeNature for agreeing to this move.

The Martial Eagle is an endangered species and every possible effort to save them, is of vital importance.

Diesel already became a part of our daily routine and it will be sad to see him go.
When we place his food down, he starts talking to us in a soft voice.
We are excited for this opportunity for him, rather than being euthanized, because he will never be able to fly again and cannot go back to the wild, unfortunately.

Also a massive thank you to Dr Marthinus for walking this journey with us and Diesel.

Now we can start working on the travel arrangements.

Ons gemeenskap het onlangs gevra hoekom daar in Velddrif nie langer veearts-ure beskikbaar is nie, en ek wil graag ’n bietjie konteks gee.

Ons Velddrif konsultasie-ure is vanaf 08:00 tot 09:00. Sommige dae is daar enkele pasiënte en staan ek lank voor nege rond en niks doen, ander dae is ek nie voor 10:30 klaar met pasiënte nie. Die patroon is egter onvoorspelbaar en regverdig voete- en inkomstegewys nog nie langer spreekure nie.

Ons is tans net vier veeartse wat ’n groot area bedien – vanaf Eendekuil tot Yzerfontein. Daarbenewens is ons ook die enigste praktyk in Velddrif, Vredenburg en Langebaan wat nooddienste na ure aanbied.

Ons sou graag langer konsultasie-ure wou hê (en werk en streef aktief daarna) en meer beskikbaar wees in sekere areas, maar ongelukkig is dit nie altyd moontlik nie, hetsy weens mannekrag of voete oor ons drumpel. Tog wys ons nooit mense weg as daar nog pasiënte is nie – ons help totdat almal klaar is.
As Velddrif se stormloop verby is, lê daar boonop St Helenabaai en die kontrei se plaasdiere ook nog voor wat net so geregtig is en aanspraak maak op ons tyd.

Ons doen regtig ons bes om die gemeenskap te ondersteun en te help waar ons kan. Aan diegene wat voorstel dat ons nog veeartse moet aanstel – ons probeer voortdurend. Ongelukkig is dit tans baie moeilik om veeartse te kry, aangesien baie emigreer en dit ’n hoogs gesogte beroep is.

Baie dankie aan almal wat ons werk verstaan, ons ondersteun en dit waardeer.
