Target: Ms Thokozile Didiza, South African Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Goal: Demand a thorough investigation and accountability for the alleged animal abuse case in Pelican Park.
In a deeply disturbing and alleged case of animal abuse, reports from Pelican Park have shocked the nation. Members of the city’s urban waste management team reportedly discovered a dog, still alive but in a dire condition, tightly bound inside a plastic bag during a routine refuse collection. The dog’s legs were reportedly bound together, and its face was reportedly taped shut, suggesting intentional cruelty. The animal bore visible injuries and bruises, further indicating severe abuse.
Immediate action was reportedly taken by officials to rescue the dog from potential harm during the refuse collection process. According to reports, a concerned neighbor came forward upon discovering the dog and helped officials identify its residence.
Upon reaching the residence, the individual accused of this heinous act reportedly reclaimed the dog, feigning ignorance about the incident, and pretended to be concerned about the animal’s injuries.
After learning about the incident from neighbors, the dog’s owner sought CCTV footage from a nearby business to shed light on the events surrounding this disturbing case. Take action now.
PETITION LETTER:
Honorable Ms Didiza,
We write to express deep concern and outrage over the alleged case of animal abuse in Pelican Park. The reported details of this incident are deeply troubling and raise serious questions about the welfare of animals in the community.
According to reports, a dog was found taped inside a plastic bag, with its legs bound and its face taped shut during a routine refuse collection. The critical condition of the animal, coupled with the deliberate and inhumane actions that reportedly led to this state, demands immediate attention and action.
We implore you, as the South African Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, to ensure that a thorough and transparent investigation is conducted into this matter. If the allegations are substantiated, we call for the responsible parties to be held fully accountable under the law for their actions.
Animal cruelty is a matter of great concern to the society, and it is essential that those who engage in such acts face the consequences of their actions. We also urge you to work toward strengthening animal welfare laws and enforcement mechanisms to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
South Africa should stand as a nation that values and protects the welfare of all living creatures. By addressing this alleged case of animal abuse promptly and rigorously, we can send a clear message that the society does not tolerate cruelty towards animals, and justice will be served.
We eagerly await your action on this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Inbred 3rd World Savages! My heart breaks for the suffering & fear this beautiful dog endured…. God has a special place for you you evil piece of shit!
YES DEATH AND WILL BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!
These 3rd world countries breed these non human monsters who in their own evil ways mistreat innocent dogs. Those responsible should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and hopefully someone will shove them inside a plastic bag and throw that bag into a shark infested ocean.
AMEN!!! KARMA!!! TO THAT “EVIL DEMON”!!!
What about doing the same thing to the owner in hopes that he will be ‘disposed’ of before he is found!
That abhorrent piece of shit should have been killed on the spot without a trial.
What about sending him to a life imprisonment jail?
That’s brilliant …
I agree with you 100%
Am I to understand that person got repossession of the dog??????
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH… Teresa Zamalloa
“That abhorrent piece of shit should have been killed on the spot without a trial.”!!!
No country can call themselves civilized sanctioning cruelty to animals.
“I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.” Mahatma Gandhi
How psychopaths can continue to subject defensless animals to sadistic cruelty without being severly punished is incomprehensible!
STOP PAMPERING ANIMAL ABUSERS no matter what shape or form they come in!
Throw the a-hole over a steep cliff – and keep the dog.
These pieces of crap should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and thrown in jail for good! Monsters like these sadistic psychopaths have forfeited their right
to a life in freedom.
Unfortunately, African governments don’t give a damn about animals. And IF any laws are passed, the police (who are SUPPOSED to enforce the laws) are absolutely useless. Africa is a savage and backward continent – plain and simple.
Unfortunately that dog is likely very much dead by now. I’m sure the owner who reclaimed that poor dog was the one to do that to him in the first place. I’m so sorry the “authorities” failed you, doggo.
I was wrong, and I’m so glad!! Scruffy IS alive and he’s got a new home and a new name! He was adopted by the commmunications manager of the rescue he was brought to. His new name is Harvey.
According to the article:
Initially, there were some fears to overcome, he was afraid of mops and brooms, jumped if the dustbin closed and cringed at the sound of the wheelie bin (the kind of bin he nearly died in), but thankfully with great advice from the SPCA’s on-site animal behaviourist, he’s growing in confidence in leaps and bounds, plays endlessly with toys and demolishes his food with relish.
He keeps his eyes on the trees for squirrels and takes great delight in chest rubs and nighttime snuggles. He loves his sister Marmite a very tolerant, grey-faced old lady who endures regular face and ear washes and regular smacks with whatever toy he’s vigorously shaking at the time. He regularly gets the zoomies as well, which means our cushions are never where they should be anymore but neither are our hearts. This boy’s got them now.
So that’s some good news I’m happy to share here! Now to get his attacker some justice.
Was the original owner accused of animal abuse? If so, is anything being done about that?
Well, this is good news!
I was worried as well that he had gone back to that worthless piece of trash -someone put him in the bin with his mouth taped.
Who ever decided to give this sweet little dog back to the same person who tried to MURDER him is insane. They also are a monster. WTH!!
Please give this little dog a happy forever home. HE DESERVES THAT AFTER ALL HE’S BEEN THROUGH! DON’T RETURN HIM TO A MONSTER! SICK HORRIBLE WORLD!!!
Agree all comments do the same to this duckers . They need to be tortured. Justice now we don’t want people like this in the world beat the fuck out of him leave to die.
Such demons are only sorry because they were caught. Ignorance???!!! This individual knew how to tape a mouth shut, this Angel’s legs and dump him. Ignorance, NO! Evil incarnate with a calculated plan to kill a dog; YES.
Horrible crime committed by a horrible human being who should not only face criminal charges but never be able to have animals in their care ever again. This is unthinkable torture to an animal. I can not even imagine the terror and fear that this dog went through. Animal cruelty should not be tolerated.
It’s unfortunate that some commenters here resort to racist crap… Note that the country of South Africa has whites as well, and the animal abuser could be white.
Anyway, are we to understand that the dog WAS RETURNED to the owner? WTF?
