Pets fed as bait to fighting pit bulls |
|
|
Cape Peninsula pets are being fed as bait to dogs being trained to kill as part of what animal rescue organisations say is a growing appetite for the banned "sport" of dog fighting.
The fights are sometimes heard but seldom seen except by those involved in making money from the bloody spectacle.
The SPCA's chief inspector, Andries Venter, has warned that smaller dogs, especially Maltese poodles, are being stolen to incite fighting dogs and to train them to kill.
He urged the Cape Argus to make the problem public.
"(Then) a lot more people will come forward who have had their pets thrown to fighting dogs," he said.

What a busy year this has been and as we all know it is far from over. We have updated T.E.A.R.S. , D.A.R.G. , H.A.W.S. and we are happy to report that Wet Nose has started uploading their precious pets up for adoption. Do head on over and see if your new best friend isn't just a click away. Really worth a mention is the support we received from our forum members when we put out an appeal to save a small injured puppy at H.A.W.S. Follow the link below to see what a great bunch of people we have on our forum. Save a Puppy Topic.Animal Welfare in Port Elizabeth are in need of more volunteers as they are very understaffed and really need the help. They have been so busy that they really have not had the time to send us any updates for a while. Perhaps you or a friend could assist them by sending us the much needed updates on a regular basis? If you feel up to it, then please do send us an email.
