Mass wild animal slaughter in Limpopo, South Africa

The NSPCA reports that on Monday hundreds of wild animals will be killed in a mass killing as part of a driven hunt in Limpopo on three game farms just outside of Alldays.

A variety of wild animals including antelope, baboon and warthog will be chased down a specially cleared 2km stretch of land into a wall of gunfire.

Foreign hunters, in South Africa for a week of entertainment, will be standing on purpose built platforms along the slaughter strip ready to take shots at the animals.

The animal ‘targets’ are moving and there is no way to control the kill. The animals will likely not be used for meat or trophies as their bodies will be riddled with lead.

The hunt will last for one week and hundreds of animals will be injured and/or killed daily.

Driven hunting is not illegal in South Africa.
