🐍 MOLE SNAKE — KNOW IT. RESPECT IT. PROTECT IT!

🌿 Habitat: Found in much of Southern Africa, including our Western Cape fynbos, grasslands and sandy areas. Often shelters and hunts underground.

🍽️ Food: Mainly rodents, including rats, mice and mole-rats. They help control rodent populations naturally.

📏 Size: Can grow to approximately 2 metres.

❤️ Lifespan: May live up to around 20 years in captivity.

🐣 Birth: Gives birth to live young instead of laying eggs. Litters can contain dozens of babies!

🦅 Enemies: Birds of prey and other predators. Human threats include road deaths, habitat destruction and being killed out of fear.

⚠️ IS IT VENOMOUS?
NO! Mole snakes are non-venomous, BUT they can deliver a painful bite if threatened. Never attempt to handle one.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SEE ONE:
✅ Stay calm and keep your distance.
✅ Keep children and pets away.
✅ Never kill, catch or corner it.
✅ Contact a qualified snake remover if necessary.
✅ Remember: never identify a snake by colour alone.

🌍 Every creature has a purpose in our ecosystem. Choose knowledge over fear and compassion over cruelty.

🚨 FREDDIE CONSERVATION PROJECT — A COMMUNITY MESSAGE 🚨

💔 WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR COMPASSION?

Today, we were forwarded a complaint shared on a WhatsApp group that shook us to the core. According to a witness, an incident involving a tortoise allegedly took place in our own town, in Sonkil Street.

The account describes a man running down the road, stopping when he saw a tortoise crossing, and allegedly kicking the tortoise off the road into the bushes.

When asked why he had done this, his reported response was chillingly casual:

“It does not belong in the road.”

Let that sink in for a moment.

Since when does a living creature have to justify its existence in the very environment where it belongs?

We have built our roads, our homes and our towns across the natural habitats of wildlife. Every day, these vulnerable creatures face the dangers of traffic, habitat destruction and human interference. They struggle simply to survive alongside us.

And now, if this witness's account is accurate, a tortoise crossing a road was met not with compassion or care, but with violence.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR HUMANITY?

A tortoise is not an obstacle. It is not rubbish to be kicked aside. It is a living creature that deserves to be treated with care and respect.

The incident has reportedly been brought to the attention of the relevant people, and we sincerely hope it will be properly investigated and that appropriate action will follow.

We understand that the witness returned to check on the tortoise and reported that its shell appeared to be intact. We are grateful that someone cared enough to check on this vulnerable animal. However, an intact shell does not necessarily mean that the tortoise escaped injury.

🙏 A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY

If you witness animal cruelty or abuse:

📸 Take photographs or a video if it is safe to do so.

📍 Record the exact location, date and time.

📝 Report the incident as soon as possible and provide a witness statement to the relevant authorities.

🐢 Never put yourself in danger, but please do not simply look away.

These creatures cannot speak for themselves. They cannot explain their pain, ask for justice or defend themselves against cruelty.

WE MUST BE THEIR VOICE.

To the witness who brought this incident to the community's attention: thank you. Speaking up matters. Reporting matters. Every act of compassion matters.

The Freddie Conservation Project stands firmly against animal abuse and cruelty. We call on our community to help build a culture where wildlife is respected, protected and treated with compassion.

ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY.

Let us teach our children that sharing this planet with wildlife is a privilege, not an inconvenience.

A little tortoise crossing a road should never become a target for human aggression.

THEY WERE HERE BEFORE OUR ROADS. THEY BELONG IN OUR NATURAL WORLD. AND THEY DESERVE TO LIVE. 🐢💚
