Johannesburg SPCA in it for the money
On the 24 April 2019 the Booysens spca came and took my 11 month old pitbull away due to a wooden dog shelter which was not to their standards and the dog being tied up.I am really disappointed with the SPCA and really believe that they are just in it for the money and nothing more.I have explained to the inspector Ronald that I need to get paid first in order to abide to their requirements and get a new dog kennel which I habe since gotten.The reason why I kept her tied during the day was due to my domestic worker who was afraid of her however, I let her loose at 3pm daily, as soon as my domestic left for home.I grew Sasha up from a 6 week old pup and fed her top of the range food twice daily and made special cooked food for her on weekends.I bought her for R2000 from a breeder in June 2018 and made sure that she was well taken car of in every possible way.I was even given a compliment from the SPCA for how healthy she was kept. Ronald who is the chief inspactor of the spca came and took her from my house on the 24 April and it was an experience that I would never forget.The feeling of loosing a child and the emotional toture that he had put me and my family through was highly unacceptable. He is the most rude and arrogant man Inhave ever met in my life and never even gave me a chance to explain why I had Sasha tied up.He insulted me and told me that he is going to call the police for me if I say anything.He also questioned my affordability and said that I cannot afford to look after the dog, not knowing that I have a top job in one of the largest firms in SA with a monthly salary of R25000. There are over 30 dogs running in the street in my area and the spca would not even consider getting those dogs homes.but would rather take a healthy pitbull away that had the most love that anyone could ever give an animal for their own benefi***** all about.which dog looks great enough to be adopted and for them to get quick money.Perhaps Sasha could pay a salary.A day after they took her I went to reclaim her and was told that I need R320 to get her back.I had.the money available and was really excited.I drove from Lenasia to Booysens.and when I got there, a lady at the cashier desk said its R560 as they need to microchip the dog before I take her.Not habing enough funds on me, I had to drive back to Lenasia and before I could come up with the funds, it was too late to go back as they were closed. The monday after I got a call from them stating that the fee to keep her is increasing daily which means that I woupd need to pay per day for them to keep her until I cover up the funds.Yesterday 3 May 2019 they called me and said that I can come and adopt her for R900.My issue is, when they took her from my yard, did they have to pay R900 before taking her? Why do I have to pay to get my own dog back which I grew up and spent thousands on from a little pup? They are heartless and dont care about the emotional damage the cause to innocent people. I have been to their shelters and they have Sasha locked in a small cage and dozens of other dogs as well.What justice is that?Does that make her live in any better condition or make her happier than being with me as her father? I leave it in gods hands, lets see where this ends up.
