THE National Council of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA) needs help raising funds to improve their ability to stop dog fighting.
One of the vital functions of the NSCPA’s special investigations unit is to combat dog fighting. As this illegal practise is on the increase, this has necessitated an expansion of the unit.
“Various dog fighting raids and pit bull cruelty court cases initiated by the NSPCA have presented opportunities and platforms to bring this cruel practise to the attention of both the private and the governmental sector.
“Unit staff ensure that dog fighting cases already in the legal system continue and benefit from determined national council and judicial system attention as well as maintained public support,” read a statement on the NSPA site.
“The employment of an additional inspector who will work to prevent dog-fighting, rescue the dogs involved in fighting and prosecute the perpetrators, has brought with it the need for an extra vehicle,” read a statement by the NSCPA.
This vehicle will make is possible for the inspector to get to crime scenes speedily and to transport rescued the dogs.
An amount of R270,000 is needed, of which R72,634 has already come in.
