NSPCA Gauteng puts the brakes on a non-compliant camel race [SOUND]

NSPCA’s Jacques Peacock says after alerting the Department of Agriculture, the department confirmed that the school’s Performing Animals Protection Act licence covers only riding, exhibition and training, and not racing. He says camels are sentient beings at risk of stress, injury and falls:
