CHAINED DOG FOUND EMACIATED.
1 metre away was a well-fed, chained dog
This morning Trainee SPCA Inspector Andrea Auerbach was called to New Dawn Park in Pacaltsdorp about a dying dog. On arrival she found a crowd gathered around the yard in question. The woman that called the SPCA said that the extremely emaciated, chained Pitbull lying on the ground belonged to her son who works in Cape Town and periodically comes to visit. She herself had been away for 2 months and when questioned said that she asked no-one to feed the dog while she was away.
What was most shocking to Auerbach was that a well-fed, plump dog was chained up in the same yard, a metre away. It had fighting scars so it is possible that he was kept well fed for that purpose (my opinion).
“The person that fed the other dog regularly walked right past this starving dog to feed it,” commented Auerbach. “Can you believe that one of the men in the crowd said I must bring the dog back when he is well again?”
Auerbach explained that the dog was in critical organ failure and would most likely not live. He is currently being assessed by our resident vet.
When he arrived at the SPCA he wagged his tail slightly - maybe to show his thanks? Heart-breaking...

I am creating this petition as an eye opener to law authorities to show them that we as the public demand swift and harsh action against animal abusers. We also demand harsher punishment for offenders.
