The Cape of Good Hope SPCA has condemned some Kommetjie community members for an attack on a local baboon troop on the evening of Sunday, 4 August 2024. Residents went out wielding sticks and using pepper spray in an "aggressive and unlawful" attack against the baboons who had approached the town to roost, causing significant distress and harm to the animals.
"Despite our best efforts, the animal's prognosis remains uncertain." In response to these distressing events, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA has initiated a thorough investigation, collecting evidence to proceed with a criminal case of animal cruelty in terms of the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962. Additionally, the organisation has approached CapeNature to explore further charges under the Nature Conservation Ordinance.
