A police officer has breached one of societys most fundamental and caring protections, the humane treatment of animals, resulting in the confiscation of two boerboels and a third dog, Cape {town} Etc reports.
Despite several warnings from Cape of Good Hope SPCA Inspector Rowan Davids, the officer continued to abuse the dogs, resulting in the Wynberg Magistrates Court issuing a warrant to remove three of them.
The officer, a member of the South African Police Services (SAPS), was repeatedly told to seek veterinary treatment for his underweight male boerboel and to improve the inhumane conditions in which the boerboel and another dog on the property were kept - on static chains.
Over the course of 12 days, the SPCA issued four warnings, giving the officer plenty of opportunity to respond. Unfortunately, he opted to continue neglecting his animals above fulfilling his legal and moral obligations to care for them.
With no other options, Davids, accompanied by City of Cape Town Law Enforcement, executed the warrant and entered the premises.
