A woman has been convicted of cruelty to animals under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
Boksburg SPCA has lauded a recent conviction of animal cruelty as a victory for the NPO and again makes an urgent appeal to the public to report dog fighting and all other forms of animal abuse.
The inspector asked the children to call an adult and explained to the woman who came out that he was there to do an inspection. The chow had maggots coming out of its ear canal and an open wound on its face. It was surrendered to the SPCA. “It is evident the dogs suffered unnecessarily because they were subjected to fighting and left with untreated wounds,” Mmoya said in his affidavit.According to Vicky Finnemore, the Boksburg SPCA manager, the dogs were in such dire condition that they euthanised them.
“Fighting dogs are often used to show ‘status’, with the winning dog’s owner gaining respect among peers and accepting more challenges. Money is exchanged at these fights, making it a form of gambling. You can report dog fighting, suspected dog fighting, or other forms of animal cruelty to the Boksburg SPCA on 011 916 5906. You can provide information anonymously.
