Another dog shot in the west
Second dog shot dead in Suiderberg two weeks after a man shot his in-laws’ dog in Pretoria Gardens.
Another dog has been shot in Bremer Street, Suiderberg in the west of Pretoria on Saturday night.
A Facebook community group post alleged the dog had been shot several times.
Speculation as to what exactly had happened has been going around in the group. Some claimed they heard 20 shots being fired.
According to a resident who wished not to be named the dog was shot twice, then again three times. She also did not know what exactly made the man shoot the dog.
“Police came to the scene and the man was apparently arrested,” said the resident.
Hercules CPF member André Kruger has confirmed a dog had been shot in Bremer Street, Suiderberg. “I cannot give further details. The police will be in a better position to give more information,” he said.
Two weeks ago two dogs were shot in Pretoria Gardens by its owner’s son-in-law. The man apparently shot dead two boerboels that had reportedly attacked his child while they were visiting the in-laws.
“While still visiting the family, the two boerboels apparently attacked the man’s child. The child was not badly hurt, but had to be taken for treatment,” Hercules police spokesperson Captain Bonginkosi Msimango said.
He said the man then took a gun and killed the two dogs. His father-in-law called the police after the shooting.
Police could not comment immediately regarding the dog that was shot on Saturday night.
