Over 30 stolen goats dead after being driven over in the Vaal

The SPCA were informed that a large number of goats had allegedly been stolen and chased over a road, Vaalweekblad reports.

According to the information provided, the goats were run over while crossing the road – the driver could not see the goats as it was still early morning and dark.

The SPCA team had to humanely euthanise 14 goats that were so badly injured and busy dying. Sadly 21 goats died before the team arrived. The 30 remaining goats were examined and returned to their owner, who has opened a case of theft with the police.
