I never trust anyone in the media and consider them all worthy of nothing more than being used for Leopard bait. - Maybe I'm biased because I got tucked up by the bastards some years ago and it caused me no end of hassle.

I guess there must be a reason the owner kept the game in pens but I've got no idea why he would do it and all I can say it's bloody unusual and would be needlessly expensive to keep them that way....... just feed and labout costs of keeping them clean would be considerable. All you gotta do is turn 'em loose in the veld to look after themselves and run occasional anti poaching patrols and you've cracked it!
