Dear friends,
An impoverished area called Atlantis, near Cape Town in South Africa, is literally hell on earth for animals. The area is run by gangs and riddled with drugs and crime. Violent riots are frequent and deadly. Sadly, the animals who live here suffer terrible neglect and abuse – they bear the brunt of a broken society.
Dogs, particularly, are regarded as objects that do not have feelings or needs. The most common use for a dog is as a watchdog, often chained and kept hungry to make him/her more aggressive.
Our team received a distressing call from our partner on the ground, Fallen Angels, alerting us to particularly shocking abuse. A dog had been chained up and left to starve to death at the back of an abandoned warehouse.
South Africa is being torn apart by civil unrest, and this is a particularly dangerous area, but regardless, OUR TEAM RUSHED TO THE SCENE, accompanied by armed security, where they found a heartbreaking situation… |
