The Cape of Good Hope SPCA and City of Cape Town Law Enforcement Animal Control Unit officials removed a horse and her foal from Hillcrest Height in Forest Village, Cape Town, after it collapsed on a main road and subsequently giving birth.
A horse has given birth on the side of a road in Cape Town on Sunday afternoon.The SPCA said it was outraged the heavily pregnant was made to pull a cart while in that state.
He added frantic and concerned members of the public, who noticed the horse"suddenly collapsing", immediately called the SPCA to alert it. According to the SPCA, the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962 and the City of Cape Town Animal Keeping By Law clearly stated"it is unlawful" to allow any animal to work that was unsuitable for working purposes."This includes putting heavily pregnant animals to work. We hate to think what the poor animal went through in her final moments before giving birth.
"We have since named the mare Stella and her little filly Rose. Rose signifies the beauty and unexpected miracle that bloomed next to the road, much like how a rose might unexpectedly blossom in an unexpected place," said Pieterse.
