Please spare a thought for everyone who has been affected by the flooding due to the Tropical Cyclone that hit Mozambiue on Sunday night:
Here is a video of the Letaba Rest Camp taken 18/01/2012. We were there 2 weeks ago, and that is one mighty strong river flowing next to it.
I dedicate this blog to every animal alive and to everyone out there who contribute towards taking care of Animals - both domestic and in the wild.
WHY BUY FREE RANGE?
Food for thought:
Free Range supports the 5 Freedoms of Animal Welfare:
- Freedom to roam freely (eg: can not turn around in your own space, chained up)
- Freedom to food and water (eg: not forced down your throat!)
- Freedom to express natural behaviour (eg: run, fly, graze, swim, walk, climb, mating, etc)
- Freedom from undue stress and suffering (eg: no shade when hot, no shelter when cold or wet, injuries not taken care or notice of, cruelty of any nature, etc)
- Freedom to medication when ill (knowing an animal is injured and not allowing it access to medical care is considered cruelty)
Sadly these are the basics. If it was up to me, I would be much more strict, but thats it for now. Please support me by sending me photographic info or names of shops, that do not support Free Range. We should report them. Name and shame them. I have started - it should be easy for us to support Free Range, it should not be an endless hassle to try and locate Free Range products.
Thank you.

Thank you for your post and video. It was my first visit to Ingwelala and SA 4 Dec 2011 and my wifes first time home in 28 years and to see the floods and level of water. We have seen photos of Ingwelala and it is hard to imagine how much rain it has taken to fill these large river pans which were dry when we came over. We experienced serve flooding some 4 odd years ago and had to vacate our home so feel for all those business and people in the affected areas.We have seen nothing of this in our New Zealand news so again thankyou for your post. PS I will return again one day to SA...magic
