Hon House Chair, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that toxicological tests have confirmed that poison was responsible for the death of more than 200 blue crane birds near Richmond in the Northern Cape;
2) further notes that the blue crane is South Africa's national bird;
3) acknowledges that blue cranes are classified as vulnerable under the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species; 4) further acknowledges that the poisoning of the blue cranes is alleged to have been deliberate;
5) condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the alleged deliberate poisoning of blue cranes in the Richmond district; and
6) strongly urges law enforcement agencies to ensure that this investigation is carried out as expeditiously as possible to bring the perpetrator of this horrendous crime to justice.
Agreed to.
