Animal Anti-Cruelty League Port Elizabeth

It is raining again. 🌧 🥹 Please provide shelter for all animals. No animal must be chained.

All lives matter and there is no need to harm or kill anything. 🐍 Our Inspector Clayton and King took this snake from Windvogel and released it into the wild, away from houses. With more and more wildlife habitat being destroyed, wild animals often find themselves in urban areas. There is no need to hurt or kill any animal when animals can be caught and safely released elsewhere. 😊

It is raining 🌧 Our field teams covered low lying areas today to check that animals are not trapped or tethered. Our work will continue on the ground early morning. A level 6 warning was issued for NMBM.

Over the next few days we will highlight our Inspectors' daily struggle in our WAR AGAINST CHAINING. During pro active work in Missionvale yesterday, our Inspector Clayton managed to free a number of dogs from their tethers, issuing stern written warnings to the owners. Unfortunately not even a tortoise was spared a cruel existence. The tortoise was removed and will be rehabilitated and released into the wild, where it belongs. We remind public that a permit from DEDEA is necessary to own any wildlife in the Eastern Cape.

Our beautiful Coco is still praying for a home. She is only 2 years old, but has been through such sadness. Coco was tethered around the waist and later the rope became embedded, almost severing the bottom half of her body and limbs. Watch her story here below. Please whatsapp us if you would like to meet this sweet girl: 041 4561776. 🤗

Just imagine the suffering if our Field Team was not on the ground to take action ....

Confinement or chaining is no life worth living. Recently, the owners of these pups had to immediately secure the yard so that the pups could come out of the cage. They were also taken to our clinic to be sterilized. Unnecessary confinement and chaining are offences in terms of the Animal Protection Act. It is often believed that owning a powerbreed is cool, without knowing anything about the particular breed. Don't be a fool. There is nothing cool about being cruel.

Look at the joy the dog experiences when Clayton took its chain off. Imagine a living area of less than 1m x 1m and the utter boredom, day in and out. 🥲 Say NO to chaining. YES to dogs living in closed/fenced yards. We have seen indigent dog owners using wooden pallets, bread baskets, spring mattresses etc. to make fences. It can be done. Where there is a will, there is a way. 😊 Poverty is no excuse for animal abuse.

🌟 **Heartfelt Thanks to Our Dedicated Veterinary Team!** 🌟 Just a sneak peek of what our veterinary team is doing inside our clinic. Their compassion and commitment make a world of difference for both pets and their owners. In areas where resources are scarce, their efforts in delivering medical care, vaccinations, and education ensure that many animals get the chance to live a healthier, happier life. Together, we are making the world a better place, one paw (or hoof) at a time. 🐾❤️

We need soft, tinned dog 🐕 and cat 🐱food for our clinic patients please. Any brand will do. Should anyone wish to donate, kindly drop the tins at our Bargain Box shop, corner of Main Road and 9th Avenue, Walmer or at our Cleary Park Clinic. Thank you. 😍

Coco loves her walks and is a very sweet, loving 2 year old female. 🐕 She would like to have her own home and she is sterilized and vaccinated already. Coco's story started when she was cruelly tethered to the waist with a rope cutting into her flesh. Please share this post so that we can find her a happy, ever after. 😍 Whatsapp 0414561776 to get more info and pictures of her.

We are ending the week on a happy note. 😍 Earlier this week, the SAPS informed us of various farm animal species living in appalling conditions. We found ducks and geese living in dark, dirty pens, unable to express their natural behaviour. We had tears in our eyes when we saw the birds being released at a safe house, entering water for the first time. 😊
