You made SPCA Chief Inspector Jaco's birthday wish come true

It’s 18 May today, meaning the birthday of Cape of Good Hope SPCA’s Chief Inspector Jaco Pieterse has arrived and it’s time to see if his birthday wish came true. Every year, the chief inspector celebrates his by launching a campaign in the hopes of raising funds for the many un-caped heroes of the SPCA and the animals in need under their care.

‘With the loving support of our team here at the Cape of Good Hope SPCA, your generous donations and encouraging words of love, Toby has tipped the scales today at 14.02kg and is well on the road to recovery,’ announced the animal welfare organisation. ‘We are incredibly grateful for the heroes who stepped up and donated to make our chief inspector’s birthday wish come true,’ the SPCA added. ‘Animal Rescue takes a village and our village didn’t just show up – you showed off!’Shortly after the birthday initiative’s launch, the fight for justice against animal cruelty continued on 10 May, when Toby’s owner was arrested for contraventions of the Animal Protection Act No. 71 of 1962.

‘Toby’s owner will now face criminal charges and answer to the court for the cruel treatment of Toby and the neglect of Blikkies, whose severely matted coat could only have been causing him considerable discomfort and pain.’
