Poaching is a crisis in South Africa. Sadly, most people think of poaching in bigger terms, like rhino, elephant, pangolins, and other more exotic animals that are normally destined for the Asian market.

In the veldjie close to your home, at the spruit where you love to go mountain biking, in the open servatite grounds on the adjacent plot, the unoccupied stand a few houses down the street. It is not only wild animals like duiker, wild rabbits and other small antelope that fall victim. Snares are also the indiscriminate killer of pets (yes, domestic cats and dogs) too.

And with this in mind, the concept of a Bush Babes K9 Snare Removal Experience was born as an opportunity for women from all walks of life to do something about poaching. As with every Bush Babes excursion and even more so with pioneer first-of-its-kind adventures like this, it is imperative to find the right people to collaborate
