STARVED DOGS: COURT ORDER OBTAINED TO ENTER PREMISES IN WINDSOR PARK

Описание: [𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘] STARVED DOGS: COURT ORDER OBTAINED TO ENTER PREMISES IN WINDSOR PARK

Earlier today, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA obtained a court order from the Kuilsriver Magistrates Court to enter a property in Windsor Park. This followed non-compliance from the property owner and our Inspector being denied access to inspect the animals and their living conditions.
From what the Inspector could see from outside the property, the dogs were in a poor state and being starved/underfed.

In terms of Section 8(1)(a) of the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962, an Inspector of the SPCA has the right to obtain a court order to enter any premises when the Inspector is unable to obtain consent/permission from the owner or occupier to enter such property to examine the animals and their living conditions.

We will never leave an animal to suffer. Whenever a person exercises their constitutional right to deny our Inspectors access to their property, we will exercise our rights in terms of the Animals Protection Act to obtain a court order to enter any such premises to do our work.

Join us on this live video to see what we find on the property. We have not yet been on the property ourselves, and we are not sure what we will find. This is a live video, and we are therefore placing a warning that we cannot control the use of language by any person, and sensitive footage of abused animals may be shown if any such is found on the property.

Please make a donation towards the work undertaken by our Inspectors. Without your support, we will not be able to rescue animals - https://capespca.co.za/donate/
