Illegal Hunting with Dogs Increasing Across South Africa. Carte Blanche Investigates

By SAPeople Contributor -Jun 25, 2021



The incidents of hunting with dogs is escalating across South Africa, particularly in rural KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). This week, Carte Blanche investigates to find out: is it an innocent traditional pastime fuelled by poverty… or a brutal, self-serving gambler’s game?

Hunting with Dogs

In a controversial practice that is increasing across the country, participants in so-called taxi hunts transport their highly-prized hunting dogs to participate in illegal hunts that are publicised far and wide on social media.

Although hunting with dogs has been outlawed in South Africa, it is practised widely and has landowners up in arms as livestock or game is caught and killed, indiscriminately, by vicious dogs. Are these hunters fuelled by desperation and a scarcity of food… or is it the thrill of the chase?

This week Carte Blanche travels to Northern KwaZulu-Natal where the devastation caused is fuelling tensions in an already tense relationship between landowners and hunters. (Producer: AltydVrystaat Productions | Presenter: Claire Mawisa)
