Animal Welfare Society of SA is eagerly awaiting the enforcement of the City of Cape Town’s animal keeping by-law after the recent increase in puppies being surrendered.
The animal group said that on Monday they admitted a grossly neglected lactating bitch and nine critically ill puppies from nearby Sweet Home Farm informal settlement, where animal cruelty and neglect is rampant.
“This tragic situation, which is now playing itself out daily at huge emotional cost to our team, can easily be prevented if the City of Cape Town enforces its newly adopted animal keeping by-law that makes sterilisation of companion animals mandatory.” The by-laws are amendments to the traffic by-law, animal keeping by-law and the by-law relating to streets, public places and prevention of noise nuisances.
