<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nAccording to Mariaan Wentzel, Inspector at the Uitenhage & District SPCA, donkey cart owners need not only abide by traffic laws, but also the Animal Protection Act. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWherever there are donkeys, there are problems. Mostly because the owners are arrogant. It is their way of earning an income and therefore they regard it as their right, but that is no right to be cruel to the donkeys,\u201d said Inspector Wentzel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo often stolen donkeys are used to earn an income through garden refuse removal. Most of the time those are the culprits abusing the donkeys, to quickly earn a few bucks. The other side of the coin is that residents are supporting those guys, whilst they see that the donkeys are being ill-treated and carts overloaded, but still pay the R200 or R250 for removal because they want to get rid of the refuse. Do they know where it will be dumped? So often illegally, just around the corner. That is commission of omission, as those residents are indirectly contributing to the cruelty and illegal dumping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inspector Wentzel thanked the concerned public who report issues where donkeys are ill-treated. The SPCA requests the public please to take video footage also as evidence and to get as much information about the driver or owner so that a proper case can be built against the perpetrators and get them prosecuted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SPCA also thanked local police officers, \u201cThey react and pull off donkey carts where all is not according to the law. We have a good relationship with the local police.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inspector Wentzel said the SPCA wanted to start with a donkey cart project again, but would need the owners\u2019 involvement, and for them to take responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey do earn an income, so they should learn to use some of the money for maintenance, to take good care of their donkeys and carts,\u201d said Inspector Wentzel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UD Express contacted the Director: Traffic and Licensing at Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality on the matter, however, no comment was received at the time of going to print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
