Church Hosts Hunting Competition to Raise Funds.

The NSPCA has received numerous complaints from the public regarding a church, known as the Afrikaanse Protestantse Kerk (APK) for hosting an annual hunting competition known as the 2022 Kerk McNAB for the purpose of raising funds for the church.

The NSPCA is also aware of a Maroela Media article wherein the APK Church claims that the NSPCA has ‘approved’ of this hunt. The NSPCA places on public record that this is false information. The NSPCA has not supported, approved or permitted this hunt whatsoever.

The NSPCA has contacted the North West Department of Economic Development, Environment, Conservation and Tourism (DEDECT) and the APK church with a number of questions in terms of interconnecting animal welfare and conservation related questions, but have not received any feedback from DEDECT, whilst the church has provided insufficient feedback.

The church has tried to absolve itself of its responsibility in stating that the organisers of the event have nothing to do with the hunt itself.

The sustainability of such a hunting competition is also questioned both from an animal welfare and conservation conscious perspective. To date, a range of the NSPCA’s questions to both DEDECT and the APK church remain unanswered ranging from permitting requirements; prohibitions; DEDECT’s oversight; the welfare of the dependant young of the black-backed jackal and female caracals; the skill set and experience of hunters; rules of the McNAB hunt; responsibility with regards to wounding of an animal; etc.

The NSPCA deems this form hunting as unethical, pointless, and devoid of the duty of care and responsibility towards broader biodiversity conservation efforts, especially lead by a church that serve as religious leaders in their respective communities.
