Luckily for the animals out there, there are people who can talk for them when they can’t.

In March an inspector from Witbank SPCA followed up on a complaint regarding animal cruelty in the Reyno Ridge area.

The inspector arrived at the relevant house with a court order which was issued by Witbank Magistrate’s Court.

The dog was living in dirty and parasitic conditions.

“An investigation was conducted regarding a dog that required veterinary attention, which the owner failed to provide in terms of the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962. The SAPS assisted and the dog was confiscated with a warrant. The SPCA laid charges of animal abuse,” said Ms Carika Roux from Witbank SPCA.
