Target: Mr. Shamila Batohi, National Director of Public Prosecutions, South Africa
Goal: Investigate and ensure strict penalties for individuals allegedly responsible for the neglect and mistreatment of bulls, and enforce stronger animal welfare regulations.
In Overport, three bulls intended for Eid al-Adha sacrifice were allegedly kept in squalid conditions on the property of the Al Ansaar Foundation. The animals, which were not sold, were reportedly confined to a restricted area, stepping on their feces and only being fed sporadically.
Residents contacted the Durban and Coast SPCA, which issued a written warning after an inspection apparently revealed poor living conditions. Reportedly, the bulls’ owner, Continental Livestock, acknowledged the delay in removing the animals and promised to relocate them to a farm.
This incident highlights the urgent need for stricter enforcement of animal welfare laws to prevent neglect and ensure the well-being of animals. Take stringent measures to hold individuals accountable for this alleged animal neglect and ensure the welfare of the bulls.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Ms. Shamila Batohi,
A recent case in Overport has brought to light a deeply troubling instance of alleged animal neglect. Three bulls intended for Eid al-Adha were reportedly kept in squalid conditions on the property of the Al Ansaar Foundation.
Residents reported that the animals were confined to a restricted area, stepping on their feces, and only being fed sporadically. The Durban and Coast SPCA reportedly issued a written warning after an inspection revealed poor living conditions.
This case underscores the urgent need for strict enforcement of animal welfare laws. We urge you to ensure a thorough investigation and hold those allegedly responsible accountable. Immediate action is necessary to prevent neglect and protect the welfare of animals in our community.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

I think I am more upset to the fact these bulls are used in a sacrifice, are they not? If so, this action and form of entertainment is appalling. Bring this barbaric ritual to a close. Stricter animal rights laws for this entertainment need to be revisited and the people responsible for arranging this should be held accountable.

Absolutely, my exact thoughts, animal sacrifice is the problem, everything else is secondary… STOP ANIMAL SACRIFICE NOW! This is horrible.. Start with the most obvious problem… PLEASE HELP THESE BULLS… SAVE THEIR LIVES!!
