The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on Saturday rejected the request of the federal government to allow Qatari princes to hunt the houbara bustard in the province.

MPA Ishtiaq Urmar, an advisor to CM Pervaiz Khattak for Environment, Forests and Wildlife, told DawnNews he had received a letter from the interior ministry seeking permission for Qatari princes to hunt the protected bird which was refused.

The federal government's request was refused as the houbara bustard is a rare and protected bird, Urmar said.

"Following the 18th Amendment, provinces are sovereign in taking such decisions," Urmar said, adding that "strict action will be taken against those found hunting rare animals and birds."

The houbara bustard is not only protected under various international conventions and agreements signed by Pakistan but its hunting is also banned under the local wildlife protection laws.

Sources earlier told Dawn newspaper that while the other three provinces — Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan — allowed Arabs with permits to hunt the houbara bustards, KP did not. They added that a while ago, a Qatari who had been hunting in the province had been caught and fined.

And this isn't the first time this PTI govt in KP did something like this. Last year in an unprecedented move another Qatari prince was fined for illegal hunting by KP govt.

Diary of an Arab Hunter

Wallah, it is once again the season of the hunt. We Arabs love God’s magnificent creatures; we travel all over the world to find them and kill them. For there is no struggle more glorious than a Sheikh’s entourage of armed bodyguards versus a small, defenseless bird.

In the great deserts of Arabia there are few animals to hunt. There are camels but they do not understand the idea of running away; they stand there, idiots, and it is the Sheikh who has to run away to make distance. Ya tifl, that is not good.

That is why we come to our friends in al-Bakistan, where everyone looks like our servants from back home. They have many of these (houbara) b**tards for our falcons to hunt. The Sheikh Abu bin Ibn says there will be great reward on the Day of Judgment for those who have killed the (houbara) b**tards for this illegitimate bird is close to Shaitan and there is good in striking it down.

We choose the second day of the second month for this pilgrimage to al-Bakistan; the weather is nice and hot but by the grace of God their country is a bit rural, too few malls and eight lane highways and five star hotels. I ask the locals, “Have you not been blessed with the divine gift of oil?”

They cast their eyes downwards and make faces as if to say no. The Sheikh Riyal bin Petrolyam tells me people do strange things with oil in al-Bakistan, like but it in their hair or in their food. I say no, no, you have to find Americans and sell it to them but the Sheikh says they do not understand.

The hospitality here is heartwarming and we truly feel part of a global Muslim Ummah which is why we build balace sized homes with electrified fences to keep the locals out.

We start the hunt on a Friday for verily on this day there is a blessing upon those who carry radar devices and radio transmitters in a ten vehicle cavalcade. This year we go to the inhospitably arid dunes of Chagai.

Ya Habibi, this is the thrill of the hunt; pitting yourself in air-conditioned cars against harsh deserts, ferocious foreign journalists and keepers of wildlife reservations. Wallah there is nothing more dangerous than an enraged conservationist.

And though we do not gamble verily we make a bet of 40 camels to see who can strike down a (houbara) b**tard before the other, and this time Sheikh Abu bin Ibn’s falcon did fly away and when he started firing upon the houbara bushes in anger, the recoil set him upon the hot desert floor and the bullet hit a passerby and there was much rejoicing, for surely God smiles upon him who falls down while firing a rifle.

Then we heard the crown prince had landed in al-Bakistan and upon seeing the airport at the capital had remarked, “Is this a joke?” but then the prince told the Sheikhs that whatever has been promised to you has been promised tenfold, and in dollars, to the government of al-Bakistan for truly he is a friend who lets his brother hunt in his home. For even though the locals are forbidden to strike the (houbara) b**tard, for Arabs that they establish a special hunting license, called a keffiyeh, that is worn around the head and makes blessed all animals killed while wearing it.

This follows a long tradition of Arabs enjoying safaris in South Asia from the days of Muhammad bin Qasim who made the journey to hunt the prized wildlife known as Maharajas.

But some people try to make bad this relationship like last year when an al-Bakistani bureaucrat whispered ill things about the crown prince saying he had personally destroyed the habitat of hundreds of flying creatures and should no longer be given a visa. Surely, as justice is served on the wings of the falcon, the bureaucrat is now washing dishes somewhere in Sibi and close bond between Arabs and whatever these locals call themselves is preserved.

When the crown prince joined us in Chagai, he explained that in nature many things had been made good for man, and the b**tard is one of them, for the b**tard is good for the kindling of an Arab’s passions and keeps him young and virile.

And the Sheikhs Wiz bin Khalifa, Khalid bin Naum and Sahil bin Kahil did raise a toast of halal wine to his speech and there was much rejoicing.

Farmers protest against govt for allotting 'hunting' land to Qatari princes

Farmers and tribesmen on Saturday protested against allotment of land to Qatari prince for hunting houbara bustards in Balochistan's Kachhi district.

The incensed farmers blocked the road linking Gandawah with Shoran. Traffic on the road remained suspended for hours as a result.

I heard evil things associated with what happens after they hunt these birds and consume them.
 
pakistan's who have a serious concern for these birds should either start filling their annual taxes or just allow these guys do their hunting.

point is, it is these princes who fund the country. where ever these guys go they take an entourage with them. they spend lavishly, and they spend accordingly to fullfill their needs.

if they want to go take a dump in some under developed villiage in rawal pindi, they would literally first get a road made for that purpose, this road ends up helping the locals of the country.

the govt obviously knows the wrong in allowibg these these guys to hunt the bird. but they allow them because they fund us more then our local people.

our locals dont bother to file taxes, most try to evade themselves from getting a ntn(national tax number) to their name. journalists, lawyers etc, alot of them dont bother filling annual taxes.

if you have concerns for this bird, file taxes. or else let the endangered specie be hunted as its hunters feed this nation.

if you dont want to file tax and allow these hunters feed us, then better come up with a plan to run this poor economy
 
These Arab royalties are sheer evil and sub human. They are shameless, corrupt and greedy like no other people on earth. They are worried about hunting whilst there people are being murdered in million's! IK has again shown that PTI often not only walk the walk but they back it up with solid action.

The locals will start filling taxes when they know that the ruling king and his servants won't eat it with both hands and feet.

If I were in Pakistan I would try to do as much tax chori as possible, since I'm only following want my own PM is doing.

Tax chori is an excuse used by the public for not paying taxes. Our govt needs revenue how does tax chori even make sense.
