City law enforcement and the Cape of Good Hope SPCA confiscated a carthorse and her foal after she collapsed on a main road and subsequently gave birth in Hillcrest Height, Forest Village, on Sunday afternoon.
The heavily pregnant mare had been put to work, pulling a cart, by her owner, resulting in outrage from frantic residents.
‘Our inspectors made their way to the scene within minutes of hearing the news,’ he said. ‘Upon arrival in Hillcrest Heights, inspectors found the mare and her newborn foal on the side of the road.’ The Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962 and the City of Cape Town Animal Keeping By Law clearly stated ‘it is unlawful’ to allow any animal to work that was unsuitable for working purposes, according to the SPCA.
‘The owner will be facing criminal charges. The actions of the owner in the mare’s time of need is reprehensible.’
