Animals herded past hunters in Limpopo 'killing field'

Animal welfare groups yesterday failed to prevent the opening of a week-long "driven hunt" in which European hunters pay to shoot wildlife herded past them. More than 25 Belgian and Dutch hunters took part in the hunt on the farm Braam near the town of Alldays in Limpopo.Taking aim from platforms, hunters can shoot at hundreds of wild animals, including baboons, warthogs and antelope corralled into a stretch of land.
