Help those who need it most, Krugersdorp

When we page through our weekly newspapers or visit our online news hubs, the headlines can be very predictable.

Crime, corruption and poverty seem to be the headline-grabbing topics of most publications, but one topic that is very close to the heart of Krugersdorpers is animals.

When visiting our galleries on looklocal you will come across pictures of homeless dogs and cats at the Friends of Rescued Animals shelter in Krugersdorp.

These four-legged creatures neither can fend for themselves, nor did they choose to end up in a shelter.

Perhaps society has made it too easy for people to get rid of their problems, or are we too quick to judge?

Next time you decide to acquire a new pet, first take a long, hard look at those innocent faces in our galleries … and then decide.
