flag South Africa’s High Court reversed a 2023 ban on NSPCA inspections of live animal exports, restoring its right to document abuses.

flag South Africa’s High Court has overturned a 2023 ruling that severely restricted the NSPCA’s ability to inspect live animal exports, ruling that banning photography, video, and documentation violated the organization’s legal mandate to investigate and prosecute animal cruelty. flag The decision, which applies to future exports, affirms that gathering visual and documentary evidence is essential for effective oversight under the Animals Protection Act. flag The court rejected the lower court’s narrow interpretation, stating that government agencies cannot replace the NSPCA’s statutory duty to enforce animal welfare laws. flag Though the vessel Al Messilah had already departed, the ruling sets a critical precedent for accountability in live animal transport.
