Private school's 'Shoot a Lion' campaign condemned by NSPCAThe National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA) found the 'Shoot a Lion' campaign offered by a private school in the Northern Cape “appalling and deeply concerning”. The animal welfare organisation condemned the ludicrous fundraising auction held by the little-known school in Jan Kempdorp, which offered a “lioness hunt” worth R40,000 as a prize.
