Veterinary body welcomes conviction of two women who treated animals illegally

“A complaint was received that Ott-Jayes was vaccinating animals in the Western Cape with vaccines that were allegedly imported illegally, and that had expired in some cases.

“It has been alleged that Ott-Jayes may have been a veterinarian in Germany previously, but even if that was the case, she is not entitled to practise in SA unless she is registered with the SAVC,” said Stoltz. “The SAVC referred the complaint to the department of agriculture, land reform and rural development to investigate, as animal vaccines fall under the Fertilisers, Farm Feeds, Agricultural Remedies and Stock Remedies Act.”

The case was referred to court and Ott-Jayes was convicted in the Swellendam magistrate’s court of passing herself off as a veterinarian. “It’s very important for the integrity of our professions that such individuals are punished for defrauding the public, and barred from practising. South Africans rightly regard their pets as members of the family, and need to be protected from fly-by-nights,” said Stoltz.

Long live to the wild.
