In a post on social media, the SPCA Louis Trichardt said from collecting forensic evidence and performing rape kits to working late into the night and conducting post-mortem examinations, the investigations are emotionally and physically demanding.
A 21-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly raping and killing 12 goats, prompting the SPCA to urge community action against rising cases of animal cruelty and bestiality.
Members of the Louis Trichardt SPCA said they were assisting police with the case, which happened in Limpopo.
“The suspect has been arrested and remains in custody. Cases like these are devastating for everyone involved. They require countless hours of dedication from the police, our inspectors, staff, and veterinarians to ensure these animals receive the justice they deserve.
“From collecting forensic evidence and performing rape kits to working late into the night and conducting post-mortem examinations, these investigations are emotionally and physically demanding,” the Louis Trichardt SPCA said in a press statement.
