South African animal rights group tries to stop big game hunt

NSPCA granted a warrant to gain access to private reserve and can bring charges against organisers of the week-long hunt if they see signs of animal cruelty

South African animal rights group the NSPCA has said it has obtained a warrant in its attempt to stop a week-long large game hunt that could see hundreds of animals die.

The group said game such as gemsbuck, wildebeest, warthog and impala had already been killed in the hunt, taking place on a private reserve in the Limpopo region.
