Three suspected dog fighters have been arrested during a sting operation in Atlantis, near Cape Town.
The Cape of Good Hope SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and the City’s Law Enforcement Animal Control Unit confiscated four dogs, and various paraphernalia associated with dog fighting.
Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, JP Smith says the injured dogs were taken for veterinary care.
“Dog fighting is cruel and barbaric and has no place in our society. Cruelty and torture is not entertainment. I call on members of the public who have knowledge of this practice to please come forward so that those involved can be held to account for their actions. If you see or know something please call the City’s Public Emergency Communication Centre on 021 480 7700 from a cellphone or 107 from a landline.”
