Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 From ANIMAL PEOPLE, April 2010: Sultan bans hunting in Johor Baru, Malaysia JOHOR BARU, Malaysia-- Johor state ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar on March 5, 2010 ordered a halt to hunting and called for gun licensing to be tightened. Sultan Ibrahim said that alleged nuisance wildlife, such as boars or crows, should be reported to the Johor Wildlife Department, which might still use lethal measures in specific situations. Personally involved in breeding endangered species and rehabilitating injured wildlife, Sultan Ibrahim reportedly has as many as 18 tigers, several panthers, and 400 deer on his property. -- Merritt Clifton Editor, ANIMAL PEOPLE P.O.
