Following allegations of non-compliance with municipal animal bylaws and animal welfare legislation, Durban Metro Police visited a property in Farningham Ridge where 68 dogs were found.
The founder of a Durban-based animal rescue organisation, who police claim had 68 dogs on her residential property, admitted that she had violated eThekwini Municipality bylaws.
However, Karen Janisch of Blue Bundu Brigade (BBB) said she was not ashamed.
“I am in breach of the bylaws. I don't deny that, and I do have a lot of dogs on my property. But I'm not ashamed of that because each dog is loved and cared for.”
“I'm not ashamed to house the dogs in my house. Yes, I know it's not the right thing. We should have kennels. We've been looking for a place. And unless you've got the money to put a down payment straight away, it's not going to happen,” she said in an emotionally-charged video posted on Facebook.
