The beloved pet of a Georginia family was brutally killed by passers-by recently.
According to Mandy Cattanach, the manager at the Roodepoort/ Krugersdorp SPCA, inspector Mike Allen attended to the initial complaint. “The owner of the dog contacted us, informing us that three men has kicked their boerbul to death.
She said the men kept on teasing the dog when they walked past their house the previous evening. The dog managed to get out of the property and ran towards them,” said Cattanach.
The woman tried to get out of the house as quickly as possible, but she was too late. “She said that by the time she reached the street, her dog was already dead, and its alleged killers were running down the street,” she said.
