Two Mitchells Plain teens who admitted to cutting off the ears of a 1-year-old pitbull named Cooper have recanted their statements and blamed a local man who allegedly masquerades as a vet. CapeTimesSA

Cape Town – Two Mitchells Plain teens who admitted to cutting off the ears of a 1-year-old pitbull named Cooper have recanted their statements and blamed a local man who allegedly masquerades as a vet. The Animal Welfare Society of SA said they would be following up on the claims, as fake vets were a real issue.

The teens admitted earlier this month to cutting Cooper's ears and cruelly sewing them with fishing line. The dog was seized from them by the organisation and recently adopted by a loving family in Hermanus. The organisation’s spokesperson, Allan Perrins, said the two led inspectors to the home of a third suspect who they now claim performed the botched surgery on Cooper.

In the real world , money doesn’t grow on trees and if you can’t make money to pay lecturers, lights and a library then what kind of education you will end up getting. The real question is why tertiary can’t be cheaper online I read this headline, and I realise we are so fucked as a country. If we can’t understand the basics of running a business or institution, that you need profit to improve and employ, we are finished.
