Our Animal Protection Laws are pathetic!!🤬

‼️ TWO AND A HALF YEARS IT TOOK ‼️

We stood in court for the final time on Thursday.

The accused, an “elderly” man, finally admitted guilt.

This case was never about age. It was about seven Pitbulls who were starved, chained, and denied the most basic rights to sustenance and dignity. Eight kilograms of food in three weeks between seven dogs. “They must be lean,” he said. They were registered. They were valuable. So they must endure.

The chains wore their necks raw. The hunger hollowed them out.

ODIN did not stand back.
We pursued justice for two and a half years.

On Thursday, the matter reached its conclusion.
In consultation with the relevant authorities and in line with the Criminal Procedure Act, the accused entered into a formal plea of guilty. Sentencing has been deferred for the preparation of a Social Worker’s Pre-Sentence Report, and the court has ruled that he will serve community service hours under supervision at the Local Municipal Animal Pound.

He will work.
He will feed.
He will provide water.
He will do for those animals what he denied his own.

Would we have preferred a harsher sentence? Yes.
But justice sometimes comes in quieter forms:
He will be forced to confront what he did. Every day. With his own hands.

This is the reality of animal cruelty cases in South Africa.
It is slow. It is exhausting. It is painful.
But we do not give up.

Keep your eyes open.
Do not look away.
Call us. Call the Garden Route SPCA.
We are here. We will come. We will fight.

There must be a home out there for poor Bruno...? Please contact R.A.D if you can offer this boy a home where he can live out his senior years. 🙏❤️

🆘 BRUNO - please read and only comment if you can help. He needs a secure home, not a cage .

We've known Bruno ever since we started working in Grabouw. He used to be the most beautiful Africanis and we always stopped to marvel at his perfection.

We wrote this in June -

Lately his condition has really regressed and we've been trying to get him surrendered for a while. Last year we also treated him for a panga or knife cut on his nose (he still has that scar)

Bruno really did lead a decent life before, always in the street with all his buddies, or cruising around with the kids.

But for the last year he has really just gone backwards it is sad to see him like this.

The family finally agreed that we could take him and we did. However he escaped over the clinic wall and gave Helene a few nights of no sleep and terrible stress as she tried to track him down (if you have ever driven past Grabouw Township you will know that looking for a brown dog is like searching for a needle in 100 haystacks )

By some miracle she found him but thats another long story.

TODAY -

He went back to his original home as at least he knew that spot but we saw him today again and we cannot leave him there. He looks terrible. He cannot go to the vet so he has to go in to a home. If no one  steps up then we will send him to heaven . We really hope someone will meet us half way and give him a loving home and save us some more heartache .

He must be at least 8 years old now, and is such an awesome dog, friendly with dogs, cats and kids, pretty much bombproof.

It may be difficult to find him a home - but perhaps he is someone's missing piece of the puzzle.
