Nearly two and a half years ago 16 emaciated horses were removed by the Cape Town SPCA from the farm of a practising veterinarian. At the time some of them were reported to be up to 100kg underweight. The SPCA charged the veterinarian with cruelty and neglect, starving and denying water to the horses, confining them with inadequate ventilation and no protection from the cold, allowing them to become infected with external parasites and failing to render veterinary treatment.

This week the Malmesbury Magistrate's Court discharged the case. This means the horses will be returned.

If you feel as strongly about this as I do, please add your name to this petition and pass it on to everyone you know. I don't know if we'll succeed in re-opening the case or preventing the horses from being returned but at least we'll be able to let someone know that we as the public do not agree with this.

    • Horrendous! Don't let this cruelty continue. Speak up for decency and these animals. Rather find other homes for them and stop their suffering.

    • These horses deserve the care of a good, kind & loving home that the SPCA will no doubt be able to find for them! Please DO NOT give them back to such a cruel and heartless man such as Mr Naude!!!!

    • Lock him away without sufficient water or air for a few months. Defamation is no valid argument when it's other lives you're dealing with.
