Listening to
Mr. Stephan Hock talking about the animals on his property shows he treats the
animals with respect and dignity.
The famous
Indian philosopher, Mahatma Gandhi, explained: “You can judge the greatness of
a nation and its moral progress by the way its animals are treated.”
Animal welfare
is a relatively new concept in Namibia. The welfare of an animal is its state
and condition of wellbeing. For Stephan and Sabine Hock together with their
staff it is important that animal welfare gets implemented at all animal species
on their property, no matter how big or small they are. BirdsConTour with a two
penguin-rated Bird & Birder Friendly Award recognized these good animal
welfare practices on Immanuel Wilderness Lodge, congratulations! BirdsConTour
believes that good animal welfare on a certain accommodation reflects on the
guests that specific accommodation receives.
