\u201cEk het nog nooit iets so wreed en onmenslik aanskou nie. Die gereg moet sy gang gaan en Olof moet weet dat ons vir haar veg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 meen \u2019n bedroefde Helena Burger, wat steeds steier weens skok nadat die vierpotige vriend waarvoor sy baie lief geword het ten aanskoue van haar en ander omstanders na bewering doodgemartel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die 58-jarige ooggetuie soek geregtigheid vir die hond wat weens ondenkbare wreedheid deur haar bejaarde eienaar se vermeende kurator gevrek het. Die beweerde aanval op die basterhond het by die eienaar se huis in die Van Ryneveld-woonbuurt, Strand, afgespeel. Die huis word tans verhuur en Burger woon saam met haar dogter (35) en kleinseun (11) in \u2019n blyplek op die perseel, waar Olof as geliefde beskermer deur hulle en medehuurders in die hoofhuis versorg is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die hulpelose omstander het in teenstand van die dieremishandeling tydens die voorval haar selfoon uitgepluk en die grudade afgeneem. Die beeldmateriaal wys hoe die troeteldier glo met \u2019n tou gewurg en met \u2019n kombers gesmoor word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Verdagte, die 66-jarige Mauritz Rossouw, wat glo kuratorskap oor die sake van Olof se eienaar het, is in verband met die voorval in hegtenis geneem. Hoewel omstandighede van die voorval onbekend is, speel dit teen die agtergrond van \u2019n uitsettingsbevel af wat Rossouw na bewering namens die huiseienaar teen Burger verkry het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die Cape of Good Hope-dierebeskermingsvereniging het hulle Vrydag 15 Maart op \u2019n klagte tesame met die \u201contstellende\u201d videomateriaal wat wys hoe die hond aan ondenkbare wreedheid onderwerp word, gereageer. \u201cIn die video word gesien hoe Olaf onder \u2019n dik kombers sukkel, aangesien pogings waarskynlik aangewend is om haar te versmoor, en toe met \u2019n tou om haar nek geslaan en gesnoer is en na lug gesnak het terwyl sy met geweld deur \u2019n man vasgehou is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie desperate pleidooie van haar versorgers het niks gedoen om hom te ontmoedig nie en teen die einde van die video blyk \u2019n slap Olaf dood te wees,\u201d onthul \u2019n persverklaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoofinspekteur Jaco Pieterse s\u00ea: \u201cSelfs as \u2019n gesoute inspekteur was die video moeilik om te kyk; geen dier verdien om so te ly nie. Sy moes vreesbevange, verward en in angs gewees het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Olof is na die Animal Welfare Society (AWS) Helderberg geneem. Volgens \u2019n AWS-woordvoerder was die hond reeds dood toe sy na die dierewelsynorganisasie gebring is en is amptelik dood verklaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie oorskot is deur die DBV afgehaal en \u2019n lykskouing, wat deur \u2019n kundige veeartsenykundige patoloog gedoen is, het bevestig dat sy dood is as gevolg van beserings wat met verwurging ooreen\u00adstem,\u201d lui die pers\u00adver\u00adklaring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rossouw is verlede Woensdag (3 April) deur die Strand-polisie aangekeer. Die verdagte, wat glo \u2019n aanrandingsaak teen hom aanhangig het, sal vandag (Woensdag 10 April) weer op aanklagte van wreedheid teenoor diere in die Strand-landdroshof verskyn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Burger het sy geweet toe Rossouw daardie oggend met twee werkers by die huis aankom en hy Olof met die vuis in die gesig geslaan en \u2019n gordel om haar nek gesit het \u201ciets is nie reg nie\u201d. \u201cMaar ek het nooit geweet hulle sou d\u00edt aan haar doen nie. En ek kon haar nie red nie,\u201d voer Burger aan terwyl sy teen die trane veg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy deel dat die rifrug-boerboel-kruising die huiseienaar se oorlede seun se hond was. Olof het glo haar naam gekry omdat sy op \u2019n keer brandewyn uit sy glas wou slurp. Die huiseienaar het die troeteldier ge\u00ebrf nadat sy seun jare gelede in \u2019n motorfietsongeluk omgekom het. Hoewel Rossouw glo anders beweer, was Olof, volgens haar, die lieflikste hond wat nooit buitengewoon aggressief was nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy het die eiendom en ons wat op die perseel woon, beskerm. Sy sou by die hekke blaf en tussen jou bene kom sit. As dit gere\u00ebn het, het sy by ons ingehardloop om weg te kruip,\u201d s\u00ea Burger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
