Spay and Neuter Campaign sterilized 136 animals in three days in Bethal

The Spay and Neuter Campaign visited towns in the area and in Bethal alone sterilized 136 animals in three days.

The animals were sterilized at Bethal SPCA in a mobile clinic.

Many pet owners were identified by the SPCA who could not afford to have their animals sterilized, thus they were sterilized free of charge.

The campaign does not only do castrations but also look out for the welfare of animals.

According to a spokesperson, there are not enough homes for all the dogs and cats and the fact that there are so many shelters, portrays that directly.

Approximately one million dogs and cats are euthanized a year in South Africa only.
