According to Soweto Animal Rescue’s Jerry Selwane, members of the public contributed to raising the award from R5 000. This money will be used to bring justice to the man in the video.
He said there were some leads, however, more accurate information was needed.
The video surfaced two weeks ago and immediately got the attention of the Soweto Animal Rescue and Advisory Centre.The centre, who has spearheaded a hunt for the brutal dog abuser, has asked the public to contact them anonymously on 084 911 9459.
The video, which is brutally graphic, shows a man holding a cross-terrier with his left hand and beating it with his right. The man numerously strikes the terrier. The man beats the dog so much that its yelps can be heard for miles.
