No answer from Springs SPCA
I was driving down the road and I saw a dog walking in the street and I followed the dog and tried to call the Springs SPCA but no answer. I tried again no answer. Now that dog could be hurt. (I am talking about the Springs SPCA)

The mandate of the SPCA is to prevent cruelty to animals. However the local Municipality in each town is responsible for complaints regarding stray animals (animals in the street causing a nuisance or attacking people). The SPCA is mandated to act in terms of welfare concerns related to the Animals Protection Act no 71 of 1962 which protects animals against cruelty; the SPCA has no jurisdiction in terms of the Municipal by-laws.
We trust this clarifies.
