Keeping dogs on short chains or ropes is a heart-wrenchingly common trend in Cape Town. Chaining of dogs is one of the most common welfare problems occurring with dogs:
Whenever a dog is kept continuously chained or tethered, the dog becomes neurotic, unhappy, anxious and often aggressive. It is also common for dogs to endure physical ailments as a result of being chained or tethered for extended periods of time.One such heart-wrenching incident occurred in Ocean View on Sunday. SPCA Inspector Jeffrey Mfini and Cadet Inspector Nkosi Sindiwe were tasked with confiscating a dog after investigating reports of it being tied up on a short chain.
Inspector Jeffrey issued a first warning with instructions to repair the broken gate so that the dog could be set free within the confines of the property.
