KEEPING OF ANIMAL BYLAWS ⚖️

Thank you Cape of Good Hope SPCA

In City of Tshwane (and many other municipalities) the municipal bylaws, especially Keeping of Animals bylaws have been provisioned to change.
In City of Tshwane, a draft proposal was REJECTED in its entirety before even getting to the public participation stage.
Our current bylaws for Keeping Animals in the City of Tshwane are in the process of being drafted again and should the internal management of the CoT finalize their own draft, it to will be made available for public participation.

It is important for the public to participate and give their opinions freely so that the animals and the people in our City are protected
What it should never be is to criticize against, over dramatize and use political agendas to spread half truths

We have a animal over population crises in South Africa
We have a animal welfare crises in South Africa
Cruelty to animals in our country is increasing at the most alarming rate.

Yes. We need new laws for Keeping Animals
Yes. Those laws must be implemented
Yes. People must not be allowed to breed animals without restrictions
Yes. People must be restricted to keep animals on properties
Yes. Animals deserve laws to protect them
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes

And when our City of Tshwane new draft for Keeping of Animals becomes available, please support changes to our bylaws
More importantly give your opinions fairly and constructively to help us protect the animals in our City

Thank you

FRIKKIE 🌈

I knew them well
Each one
Pure bred KUSA registered Frenchies
Best of the best
Or in the words of some - ethical breeding.
It made no difference, they suffered the same for their purpose to be called 'Registered'

Of the 7 Frenchies, I collected two years ago, all registered, pure bred from a KUSA judge and breeder - FRIKKIE together with 2 other Frenchies were the only 3 dogs vet cleared, healthy enough for sterilisations

- 2 dogs had to be euthanized without the opportunity to save their lives through veterinary surgery/care.
One female had a collapsed trachea due to Cancer
One mature/old female had a prolapse

- 1 dog had long term ear infections which were left untreated for years, on advice from the vet needed complex surgery for both ears and full time, experienced after care.
The decision was made to euthanize the dog due to his age, the cost of surgery and possibly success of recovery

- 1 dog was vet cleared for sterilization but sadly passed away after recovery post surgery

- FRIKKIE was vet cleared for sterilisation, which took two hours to cut through the years of breeding and c sections. She fought her way through a 40 degree fever for two days
But lived

- Two dogs were vet cleared and sterilised.
Both dog were young with no health concerns
The female dog remains well and healthy
The male dog had to be euthanized a year after adoption due to Cancer

FRIKKIE only purpose was to breed
A breeding machine
Although I tried to hide her identity, some people knew who she was from reputation alone as top quality breeding stock
Breeding stock.
The word always made me gag
Maybe it's the hate that I taste
Breeding stock

FRIKKIE was adopted into a home of love and care
She knew a life of happiness and joy
Her final years were spent as a companion animal
She was cherished and spoilt
FRIKKIE was estimated to be about 10 years old.
Before her surrender, kennel life as a KUSA registered breeding female was not kind to FRIKKIE.
Over breeding, lack of veterinary care and lack of breed specific nutritional food left her health compromised

However much we want to wish the past away
Sometimes years of neglect can't be undone

FRIKKIE was getting older
Her breeding life had been hard
This breed struggles through life
It is our purpose as custodians to animals to end pain and suffering

Her rainbow day came sooner than we hoped
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye today

Thank you Bianca Castleman Peens for being her home, her family and her love

May you shine so bright tonight
I loved you forever

When the vet changes your name 🙄
Glen Veterinary Clinic

ABBY 🌼

The abuse/neglect goes much deeper
Sometimes there are no scars
But there are signs

Sometimes looking up is enough

DOG FEEDING 🐕‍🦺

I phoned up some tracking people on what advice they had, ideas or thoughts.
Got some great suggestions.
Some I can use, some I can't. But it was nice to chat and throw some ideas around

Alot of failures later and we are no closer to anything that could work to trap/catch her
One opportunity that failed before, could now be an option, purely because this structure has been a permanent fixture on the veld from the start of our project. The grass hut was built in the first week, more than 3 months ago, although something new/unfamiliar before, a area she was frightened off, it's now a structure that has been a constant fixture on the veld.
Not something new anymore
Not something to be frightened off

We also have to move her off the veld.
We had permission from the farmer to feed on the veld, but the farming season is starting soon.
The veld will be ploughed soon

We used a scent trail inbetween the food bowl and the grass hut while we slowly moved the food bowl towards the grass hut
This process alone took 3 weeks
Making sure she ate from the feeding station every day

Until we reached the grass hut
It's gone well.
And then on Friday I could place the food bowl centimetres inside the grass hut.
Not even inside
Just slightly underneath
Barely
Ya
Thursday - Off the grass she eats
Friday - On the grass she doesn't eat
Saturday - On the grass she doesn't eat
Sunday - Off the grass she eats
Monday - On the grass she doesn't eat
It's centimetres
But it's here where we will stay
Stubbornly
It's check mate
She must ultimately eat underneath/inside the grass hut
However long it takes now.
We can't use the farmer veld for the next 6 months from seeding to harvest
Keeping the food dry during summer rain season will become a problem

Our next aim is to feed here
For however long it takes her to trust the grass hut.
Hopefully she will use it as her den
While we built another grass hut as a cage offsite
A duplicate grass hut.
A cage

It's been another learning project
No two dog trapping has ever been the same for us
We learn
We adapt

🌼 We have known amazing volunteers/supporters over the years
Some come and go
Some stay for awhile
But we always stay in touch
Like Buddies do

Today one of our Buddies needed our help
We could only say yes, because we knew Glen Veterinary Clinic would be there ☺️ always

The tragic aftermath of birth that most probably resulted in complications which was left untreated, has left this dog with infection.
Its not sure what's the truth in her storyline or what are lies
If there is any truth - she gave birth two weeks ago and two puppies died, with no real information on whether they died during birth, after birth, how they died or what happened.
If it's lies - she gave birth, no idea when, no idea where the puppies are, no idea what happened.
What we do know
You can smell the infection
It's that bad
She has been admitted so that she can be monitored for dehydration and to receive antibiotics for at least 2 - 3 days

Of course we said yes
It's what Buddies do
