Boksburg SPCA wants to visit your school
The presentation will cover all animal welfare and how to take care of pets.
The Boksburg SPCA is once again appealing to local schools in suburban and rural areas to invite the society to give a presentation to learners.
This is as the SPCA continues its fight against animal cruelty through education, with a particular focus on power breeds.
According to Boksburg SPCA manager Vicky Finnemore, educating the public about animal welfare is part of their core function as a society, but instilling a good sense of animal welfare in the youth is even more important.
She said the presentation, done by members of its team, is interactive, fun and educational.
It covers all aspects of animal welfare and how to properly take care of pets.
“Neglect or abuse often happens because of ignorance on the owner’s part, which is why continued education is necessary,” said Finnemore.
Finnemore emphasised there is no cost to schools for them to come and do the presentation.
This is only one of the many outreach programmes Boksburg SPCA offers.
Schools interested in having the SPCA visit them should contact 011 916 5906/7 or email manager@boksburgspca.co.za.
