Incredible Anti-Poaching Duos Saving SA Wildlife
Anti-poaching K9 units are being celebrated in South Africa. Five incredible teams are being featured by Hill’s Pet Nutrition in a new five-part mini-series called ‘Making Contact’. The series follows these teams to see what they get up to on a day in the field.
Not only are these unique relationships celebrated, but we get an intimate look at the bond between a K9 unit handler and their dog. We also get to hear just how successful each dog is in catching the poachers.
“95% of our poaching arrests are made with the help of tracker dogs,” – Johan de Beer, K9 Manager, Kruger National Park of South African National Parks.
Hill’s Pet Nutrition plays a vital role within several K9 units by sponsoring them. They sponsor 46 dogs in Kruger National Park, 2 in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park and 14 in other parks around the country. It means that the dogs are getting the optimal nutrition, training and medical support for the invaluable work they do.
