I have never seen so many stray cats and dogs like I have
seen here in Cape Town. The thought that people can harm their animals in any kind
of way makes me just so sad. To say I love animal is an understatement. I adore
animals with my heart and soul.
There seems to be this problem here in the city of Cape
Town, I am not too aware of the other suburbs and areas, but beggars on the
streets sell these most precious puppies for R20-R200 as they cannot feed
themselves or get home or whatever the reason may be. I have since last year
saved three precious puppies and have kept the one, Bella, who is my life. How
can people walk around with the dogs and just sell them? Apparently it is
illegal and I could actually slap myself because I paid these beggars money for
the dogs.
The place that I took them to is DARG in Houtbay and they
really are doing such wonderful work. They care and love the dogs and cats and
it makes me so proud that there are actually people out there that are making a
difference.
There is a major problem, not just in Cape Town but in
South Africa. Dogs and cats also have feelings and all they want is love. How
hard is it to love? And especially when they just love you unconditionally. The
saying “a dog is a man’s best friend” really hits home when I see my baby Bella
looking at me with nothing but love.
If you do happen to see people selling dogs illegally
please either take them to DARG, phone the police or give me a call – I am
serious!
