\u2019n Inwoner van Worcester is in rou gedompel n\u00e1 die onlangse \u201cmoord\u201d op haar geliefde troetelkind, nadat haar kat vermoedelik met \u2019n windbuks geskiet is en later in haar arms gesterf het.<\/p>\n
Drieka Burger (53) het sowat ses jaar gelede haar gemmerkat, Ginger, van \u2019n vriendin in die Paarl gekry nadat haar vorige kattekind, Daisy, aan \u2019n hartaanval oorlede is.<\/p>\n
Burger kon nooit kinders van haar eie kry nie en beskou haar katte en honde as haar kinders. Maar op Woensdag 9 November moes sy met \u2019n swaar hart afskeid neem van haar jongste.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het so net n\u00e1 21:00 in die sitkamer gaan sit en wou iets op die televisie kyk. My man, Pierre, werk nagskof en sommige aande sit ek tot laat en televisie kyk. Ek het agtergekom Ginger is nie in die huis nie en het die een venster in die kombuis oopgehou vir as sy terugkeer. Dit gebeur gereeld.<\/p>\n
\u201cHierdie keer het sy egter nooit teruggekom nie,\u201d vertel \u2019n emosionele Burger aan Standard<\/span>.<\/p>\n Net voor Burger haar televisie aangeskakel het, het sy gehoor hoe een van haar katte vreeslik om hulp skreeu. <\/p>\n \u201cEk het gedink dit is my ander kat, Spikkels, wat gereeld in die tuinhekkie vassit, maar by nadere ondersoek het ek vir Ginger op die sypaadjie hoor huil. Dit het al erger geraak.\u201d<\/p>\n Toe Burger die tuinhekkie van haar erf in Rouxpark oopmaak, het sy haar geliefde Ginger in \u2019n opgekrulde, bebloede bol gekry.<\/p>\n \u201cDit was aaklig. Ek het die bloed gesien en op my knie\u00eb gesak. Ek wou net help, maar het nie geweet hoe nie.<\/p>\n \u201cEk kon duidelik sien dat sy geskiet is, maar al wat ek kon doen, was om haar vas te hou. Dit was nie \u2019n minuut nie, toe het haar koppie net gehang. Ek is ten gronde,\u201d vertel Burger.<\/p>\n Burger het op haar straat se WhatsApp-groep gevra of enigeen iets gesien of gehoor het, maar tot dusver is daar geen antwoord nie.<\/p>\n \u201cEk wil net weet wie dit was. Wie sal \u2019n onskuldige katjie enige skade aandoen? Wie kan so wreed wees? So \u2019n persoon moet aanspreeklik gehou word vir sy dade.\u201d<\/p>\n Die Worcester-polisie het aan Standard <\/i>bevestig dat so \u2019n voorval aangemeld moet word aangesien dit die landswette oortree.<\/p>\n Die wet stipuleer duidelik dat geen geweer in \u2019n dorpsgebied afgevuur mag word nie, tensy dit gedurende \u2019n voorval geskied waar selfverdediging toegepas word.<\/p>\n Enigeen
