Cape Town – Social media users and activists have expressed their anger after images of a dog that was allegedly hanged in a Durban suburb surfaced on Facebook.
Debbie Holmes, an animal rights activist, posted the picture of the dead dog on Facebook, and claimed that the animal was allegedly hanged n Bonela.
Paws KZN, an animal welfare organisation, also shared Holmes’ post.

“How long can this go on? How many posts of animal abuse before it stops? Animal Lovers and Animal Activists need to help and become the voice for the voiceless! Cats chopped in half! Dogs hanged! Many more incidents of horrific abuse! It can’t go on! We will not remove this post! Justice Justice Justice,” said Paws KZN in a statement.
IOL reported that no one was prosecuted or charged because there was no evidence.
Because witnesses refused to come forward, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and the South African Police Services (SAPS) were unable to take action, the report said.
