Durban SPCA negligence in regards to anonymity.

I have a complaint about a Durban SPCA official who visited in regards to an anonymous complaint about my neighbour's dogs. He mentioned to my next door neighbour that your neighbour complained. This created an ugly argument, whilst he was present between my neighbour and myself. To clear the argument I asked him to tell my neighbour it was not me, he refused and asked to speak to me at my gate. At my gate he told me the caller wanted to remain anonymous. I don't understand how he told my neighbour that her neighbour complained. There are next door neighbour's on both sides I have a false allegation made against me. I requested from him in person his personal details, He refused and unkindly referred me to the vehicle registration number. (BG 86 CH ZN)

Reports to the SPCA are strictly confidential and complainant details are never revealed. Our Inspector did not advise the owner that a neighbour is the source, and it is likely that your neighbour has assumed this.  As such, the allegation is by your neighbour and not by the SPCA.
The SPCA does not become involved in neighbour disputes.
