An SPCA inspector doing a walkabout in an informal settlement in Bellville.
A few seconds of footage showing dogs living in difficult conditions was enough to raise the alarm and send the SPCA inspectors into a Bellville informal settlement.
What they found was simply not a case of animals needing help, but families living in difficult circumstances where access to veterinary care, vaccinations and sterilisation can be hard to come by.
The SPCA helped care for 40 pets living in a Bellville informal settlement after a video showing animals living in difficult conditions surfaced.
Despite the tough living conditions of the residents, the animal welfare agency went into the community after complaints reached them off the back of a video posted on the YouTube channel Cape Town Audits
