What we're about
BAN TROPHY HUNTING
The mission is to get all trophy hunting banned in South Africa, since all trophy hunting in South Africa is canned to a greater or lesser extent. To that end, The Campaign Against Canned Hunting has put together a comprehensive audio visual presentation which has been shown to thousands of people from all walks of life in S.A.,Kenya and U.K.
GET ACTIVE
New regulations and policies are analysed and critical comment is then published to the media and to animal welfare organisations. View critical comment on the new canned hunting regulations. There is also a list of government addresses to whom you can send letters of protest.
ETHOS
For ethical tourists who wish to ensure their tourist dollars do not fall into the hands of persons involved in the hunting industry, we offer a certification service whereby eco-tourism resorts are audited to ensure that there is no direct or indirect involvement with hunting. Learn more about ETHOS. Or, tell us about resorts involved in animal abuse.
WILDLIFE SANCTUARY
The Campaign Against Canned Hunting is raising funds to purchase land to establish a Wildlife Sanctuary. Find out more about the sanctuary.

THE RECENT CANNED LION JUDGMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA

There has been widespread rejoicing in and outside SA over the recent High Court decision handed down on 11th June in Bloemfontein. The press has published headlines like ‘the end of the road for canned hunting.’ Unfortunately, this is a long and winding road, and the end is nowhere in sight.

KOUGA WILDLIFE REHABILITATION CENTRE
Having spent seven years in the Kalahari working with wildlife I found that retirement, even to a pretty place like Wilderness, was unsatisfying.
After flying off to Australia to spend a month working on the Sea Shepherd anti- whaling ship, the SS Steve Irwin, I realised that I just cannot live happily knowing that I could be doing much more for our wildlife.
