THE Kloof and Highway SPCA is calling on the community to help them find the perpetrator who shot an Egyptian Goose dead in the Kloof area. This call comes after the SPCA was called to Glen Drive in Kloof yesterday after an apparent gunshot was heard and a dead Egyptian Goose was found on the verge by Blue Security.

“Our SPCA inspectors and staff are absolutely devastated that when the Egyptian Goose was x-rayed, a pellet/bullet was found lodged in its lifeless body. A post-mortem will be done to confirm this as soon as possible.

“We are appealing to anybody who witnessed this crime, or who has any evidence of who would commit such an act against an innocent animal, to please come forward so this matter can be taken further. Any information received will be dealt with confidentially and would be appreciated. As a community, we should be concerned that a resident has discharged a firearm/pellet gun, in a residential area and shot an innocent animal,” they stated.
