PICTURE: NQOBILE MBONAMBI/ AFRICAN NEWS AGENCY 80 dogs were saved and 40 were found dead at a womens apartment living at Clere estate after the SPCA came with a court order.
“The inspectors and support team were unprepared for what faced them when they arrived at a Clare Estate house to execute a warrant of seizure. A neighbour, who did not want to be named, said they had repeatedly complained to the police and SPCA about the dogs and the woman. Many of the dogs had to be put down at the SPCA to end their suffering and it is doubtful that any of them are healthy enough, or socialised enough, to rehabilitate and rehome, said Smith.
Smith also said they had recommended to local police that the woman needed the intervention of social workers to help her.
