UPDATE: Probe into bunny, chicken’s death
A post-mortem will be conducted to determine whether two Benoni Bunny Park animals died inhumanely today (May 2).
Shelley Owens, co-chairperson of the Benoni SPCA, said the organisation today received the carcass of a bunny and chicken.
The bunny was allegedly kicked to death at the park, while the chicken was euthanased after it was found to be too weak after motor oil was allegedly poured on it in an attempt to ward off fleas.

Owens said the Benoni SPCA was at the park today, and that if the post-mortem finds that the animals died inhumanely, legal action will be taken against the guilty employees.
A private veterinarian will conduct the examination, with results expected by the end of the week.
