WITH week seven of Edu-Paw’s class 10 programme being all about cruelty to animals, Snare Aware came to educate the children on illegal hunting.

Edu-Paw supports the work of Amanzimtoti SPCA by teaching children basic canine care, and instilling love and compassion to turn the tide of neglect and cruelty.

Volunteer, Snethemba Mnyandu, taught the children about the evils of dog fighting, the danger of fireworks and the work of SPCA in preventing cruelty.

The organisation’s founder, Cathy Keegan, said they were once again privileged to have a representative from Snare Aware to teach the children about the crime of illegal hunting, poaching, snares and hunting with dogs.

“He brought some snares, photos and skulls to show the children the reality and suffering inflicted not only on our precious wildlife, but on domestic dogs and cats who get caught in snares,” she said.

Volunteer, Wandile Nzama, was interpreting the message and they had the full attention of the children. “Thank you so much Snare Aware for educating the Edu-Paw children in another aspect of animal cruelty.
