Bloemfontein dog owners have surrendered 49 PITBULLS to SPCA

The South African Pitbull Federation has commended pet owners – who have surrendered their pitbulls to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

The police had to shoot a pit bull dead after it allegedly jumped over the fence and attacked the boy who was playing in his yard in Vista Park.

Bloem SPCA spokesperson Keshvi Nair told the SABC News on Tuesday that 49 pit bulls had been surrendered this week.

“It’s very sad that the SPCA is always left cleaning up the mess, but this mess is all of our mess because lives are being lost.” said The South African Pitbull Federation’s Lins Rautenbach

“We do not have the manpower and resources to police this on top of by-laws being enforced. We need the SAPS and the Metros to step up and open up cases in terms of the Animals Matter Amendment Act.”
